Citroën did it before with the DS3, bringing a DS3 Racing limited edition hatchback to the 2010 Geneva Motor Show, now it's time for the DS4 Racing concept. As with its predecessor it's been developed by Citroën Racing, the arm that preps the car that's won the WRC seven times running.
As you'd expect, the DS4 Racing concept is 35 millimeters lower and has a 55-mm wider track, with words like "bigger" and "more powerful" getting lots of use elsewhere. Go is provided by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder that gets 256-horsepower, and stop is handled by four-pot calipers up front on 380-mm discs – 40-mm larger than on the 911 Carrera S Cabriolet we just drove.
A press release with more specs is after the jump, and all angles matt-gray beauty are in the high-res gallery. We'll see it live next week in Geneva.

CITROËN DS4 RACING - A HOT BLOODED CONCEPT CAR FOR GENEVA 2012
- Citroën to debut new DS4 Racing concept at the Geneva Motor Show
- Developed by Citroën Racing, Citroën's seven-time WRC winning motorsports division
- 256bhp & CO2 emissions of just 155g/km
- Lowered chassis, wider track, more powerful brakes & larger wheels

(24/02/12) -- Having sold more than 180,000 examples worldwide, Citroën is continuing to evolve the DS line with the unveiling of a new concept at the Geneva Motor Show - Citroën DS4 Racing.
As with DS3 Racing, Citroën Racing's engineers have taken their multi WRC winning expertise and put their unique stamp on Citroën DS4 to create this hot blooded new concept.
The DS4 Racing concept features new carbon fibre components including an air diffuser, front splitter and wheel arch extensions. The 1.6-litre turbo petrol engine, developed by Citroën Racing, provides up to 256bhp (160bhp per litre), which is a record for a Citroën series production car. This spectacular performance is accompanied by CO2 emissions of just 155g/km.
Citroën Racing's engineers have modified the chassis and running gear with the utmost precision. The chassis has been lowered by 35mm and the track widened by 55mm at the front and 75mm at the rear. The braking system boasts fixed four-piston callipers at the front together with special 380mm diameter discs. The concept is also fitted with larger diameter 19-inch wheels and 235/40 tyres.
Another stand out feature of the DS4 Racing concept is the textured-effect matt grey paint, which catches the light to further enhance the lines of the car. The colour is stylish and modern, ideal for a sports car. Further exterior refinements include a two-tone roof and two-tone wheels with a special DS4 Racing design.
