Citroen DS3 by Kenzo

The market for designer editions of premium retro hatchbacks has not been lacking for special editions, but can now count one more example in its ranks as French automaker Citroën and Japanese fashion house Kenzo have teamed up for a unique one-off.

The Kenzo edition Citroen DS3 features a unique retro motif applied to its roof and interior upholstery. Love it or hate it, however, the collaboration remains a one-off unavailable for purchase, much like the Yves St Laurent edition DS3 that preceded it.

Meanwhile, rival Mini's successive collaborations with the likes of Kenneth Cole, Calvin Klein and Agent Provocateur (to name just a few) have raised big bucks for AIDS research and awareness, while the Fiat 500 by Diesel is available on the open market.

Citroen is forging further ahead with its premium DS initiative at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show with the debut of the limited edition DS3 Racing.

Based on the Mini-rivaling DS3 premium hatchback, the DS3 Racing packs a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine producing 200 horsepower. Tuned by Citroen's world championship rally team, the DS3 Racing sits 15 millimeters lower and 30 millimeters wider than the stock version. Special graphics, wheels, bodywork and carbon-fiber trim also help differentiate this special model, which will only be produced in limited quantities and, sadly, not available in North America.
