Driving Characteristics
As Citroën’s last true WRC dominator before the new 2017 regulations, the DS3 WRC represents the end of an era. It is remembered for Loeb’s final titles, its striking livery variations, and its success across the globe. Even after factory support waned, private teams continued to run DS3 WRCs competitively in national championships.
