DS Automobiles will launch only fully electric models from 2024 and will be the first Stellantis brand to sell only plug-in hybrid and pure electric models from 2025.To prepare for an electrified future, DS Automobiles and DS Performance, the brand’s racing division, have developed a prototype to test various innovations that will be integrated into the brand’s next models.
The DS E-Tense Performance concept is based on a carbon monocoque and features an AWD powertrain with two engines and a total output of 600 kW (815 hp) – 250 kW at the front and 350 kW at the rear. The motors come directly from DS Performance’s Formula E developments. It offer up to 5,900 lb-ft (8,000 Nm) of torque at the wheels. Powertrain has an unprecedented 600 kW regeneration capability, enabling the DS E-Tense Performance to brake using only regeneration.
This prototype also explores design, particularly at the front, which replaces the grille with a new expressive surface. This treatment, already offered by DS Aero Sport Lounge, combines the brand logo with a 3D effect. The vehicle features new DRLs on each side (consisting of a total of 800 LEDs) and two cameras in place of the headlights to collect data.
