DS N°8 Set to Make World Debut, With Stylish and Futuristic Features Ahead of Schedule

In a recent statement from the official channel of DS Automobiles, it has been confirmed that the new flagship model will be officially designated as N°8. In addition to this naming convention, future models under the brand's umbrella are expected to follow a similar pattern, with their names composed of N° followed by a digit.

Interestingly, the name is derived from the French term 'number', which bears some resemblance to English notation (NO.). This strategic decision reflects the brand's intent to convey "balance and serenity," embodying its philosophy. According to information received, the vehicle is expected to make its global debut before the end of 2024.

In line with further unveiling details, DS Automobiles has published interior imagery for its flagship product. Characterized by its nautical-inspired design, the inside of this luxurious automobile exudes an extraordinary air of sustainability. Furthermore, it features bold and avant-garde styling that evokes a futuristic appearance. Key elements that stand out in the interior include the four-spoke steering wheel, multiple key controls on the left side for various functions and entertainment systems; as well as the new press-down shift gear mechanism.

Moving to its exterior presentation, DS N°8 takes inspiration from the brand's two other stylish concepts: Aero Sport Lounge and SM TRIBune. By adopting a sleekness and sportiness into its all-encompassing silhouette, the design truly captures viewers' attention. Through spy photos, it becomes apparent that this luxurious sedan boasts sharp, striking front face lights, defined by intricate lines throughout the front grille area.

Moreover, an exclusive aerodynamic line will be featured by this automobile, boasting a low wind drag coefficient of 0.24—a clear indicator of its aerodynamics performance and efficiency. The tail comes with a stunningly aggressive, high-intensity LED light arrangement; equipped with cutting-edge optical lenses allowing clear identification upon start-up, clearly featuring branding along the middle.

The dynamic side of DS N°8 speaks for itself: as this sleek vehicle is set to utilize STLA-Medium architecture across the Italian Stellantis manufacturing facility, production will be conducted via an entirely electric battery and propulsions system. It comes in both single-motor and dual-motor variants to comply with different usage conditions specified by WLTP certification.

Stay tuned as future data regarding this car's specifications and launch dates proceed.
