2025 DS N°8

The unveiling of the new DS Automobiles car is approaching, and before that happens, the French luxury-premium brand has introduced a new naming philosophy for future models, the ‘N°’ (numéro). This tag will be added to the existing number.

The first model to have the ‘N°’ tag will be the DS N°8. The number eight has a shape similar to the sign of infinity, it is associated with balance and carelessness, which together form a harmonious whole. The badge will be located on the rear of the car alongside the DS AUTOMOBILES logo, clearly separating the brand from the model while also signaling its progress towards an electric future.

There is still not much information about the interior of the DS N°8, but what we do know so far is that it will have spectacular lighting that emphasizes the calm design of the dashboard. Its refined, nautical-inspired design perfectly combines cutting-edge technology and expertise.

DS Automobiles is one of the brands that is striving to become all-electric as soon as possible, and the new ‘N°’ tag is just the beginning.

DS Automobiles will produce the SM Tribute Concept

This year, DS Automobiles celebrates 10 years of independence, and in September, the SM Tribute Concept was unveiled. Now, the French automaker is looking for a way to start producing the car, but in a limited edition.

In an interview with Top Gear, head of design Thierry Metroz said that Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares and DS CEO Olivier Francois agreed that the SM Tribute Concept would be built on the platform used by the Maserati Granturismo. Currently, both companies are negotiating a car price that would be acceptable to most buyers, but also economical.

The concept features a long hood that tapers to the floor, as well as a glass front that in the 1970s housed headlights that moved with the steering wheel. Like the original Citroen SM, it is adorned with a combination of gold and black colors and shows how the original model would look today. Inside, the curvature of the dashboard and seats are reminiscent of the original model. In front of the driver is a boxy steering wheel with an integrated screen, as well as a digital instrument cluster.

When it comes to the powertrain, the company has confirmed that the car will not be an EV. Some believe that the SM Tribute will be powered by a turbocharged 3.0-L V6 Nettuno engine with around 538 hp, but this cannot be confirmed. The original SM was powered by a 2.7-liter V6 engine borrowed from Maserati and had front-wheel drive, but Maserati now has four-wheel drive.

DS Automobiles will launch a new all-electric car

In 2019, DS Automobiles began the transition to a fully electric brand, and after the DS 4 and DS 3 models, the company is now announcing the launch of a new all-electric car.

Although the company is still keeping information about the car under wraps, what we do know so far is that it will feature active front air intakes, vertical daytime running lights, LED taillights, a coupe-like lower hood, a slanted windshield, and an aerodynamic body that creates a drag coefficient of just 0.24.

The published photos show the car covered in camouflage with the number 750 on the sides, which points to a range of 750 kilometers (WLTP).

For now, it is not known when the car will be officially presented.
