One year after the launch of DS, the brand presented a unique new vehicle at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show: DS E-Tense. This ultra-innovative concept car is fully equipped by Focal, for a sound experience to match this unusual vehicle.
AT THE CUTTING EDGE OF TECHNOLOGY
With its Grand Touring coupé silhouette, E-Tense is positioned as a high-performance vehicle (402 hp and 516 Nm). Particular attention has been paid to the vehicle's lighting signature: the LED modules adapt to the road, traffic and weather conditions, and rotate 180° to accompany the driver. Finally, in addition to its atypical Ametrine Green color, certain parts of the car have been designed using parametric design, such as the dashboard, a veritable sculpture with its futuristic steel structure.
THE MEETING OF THE GREAT FRENCH LUXURY HOUSES
To enhance this refined interior, DS called on French luxury brands such as trunk-maker Moynat and watchmaker BRM. Tailor-made objects and equipment have been created for the vehicle with these houses.
A TRUE ON-BOARD SOUNDSTAGE
With these exacting standards in mind, DS naturally turned to Focal for the vehicle's acoustic equipment. A high-fidelity system featuring 9 Utopia loudspeakers is set in a perfectly silent cabin, transforming the DS E-Tense into a veritable auditorium for the most demanding audiophiles.
BEYOND SIMPLE COLLABORATION
DS E-Tense has been the talk of the town, winning the Grand Prix at the 2016 RTL-Auto Plus Geneva Motor Show. Readers and listeners of both media named it "best concept car" with 62% of the votes.
To echo the concept car's incredible racy lines, Focal has designed a special edition Scala V2 loudspeaker from the Utopia line, finished in the same stunning Ametrine Green color. An elegant, unexpected yet obvious alliance of music and automotive pleasure. When prestige meets elegance, an exceptional product is born between two French brands.
