Citroen are going to be showing a 197bhp DS3 Racing at the Geneva motor show in ten days time, it uses an uprated version of the 154bhp turbocharged 1.6-litre THP engine that appears in the DS3 Sport (as well as the Mini Cooper S and various Peugeots), and with 203lb ft of torque to partner that power figure we reckon it should be good for 0-60mph in 6.5secs.

I do actually like the new DS3 and am concidering now that this uprated version is due is to add this to my next car list and looking at next year for an update in car from the Fiat Bravo 150T Sport to either the Alfa Mito or DS3-R.
