About the Citroen DS MB-01

Versatile MB-01 Chassis

The MB-01 chassis is designed for versatility, allowing for both front- and rear-wheel drive configurations. By simply changing the attachment directions of the final gears and steering linkage, the model can switch between FWD and RWD setups. Additionally, the chassis offers the choice of three different wheelbases and features a midship motor position for balanced performance, ensuring an adaptable and customizable driving experience.

Realistic & Detailed Design

Tamiya's kit faithfully recreates the distinctive look of the early-period Citroen DS with a detailed polycarbonate body. The model mirrors the actual vehicle’s design, including a wider front tread compared to the rear, and it features 60mm front and rear tires for a realistic stance. The 1/10 scale body measures 419mm in length, 198mm in width, and 137mm in height, capturing the elegant proportions of the classic Citroen DS.

Advanced Suspension System

The MB-01 chassis comes equipped with a sophisticated 4-wheel double wishbone suspension, providing smooth handling and stability. This symmetrical suspension structure, combined with friction dampers, ensures that the Citroen DS model performs well on various surfaces.
