Capturing The CitroÃ«n DS4 | Photo Competition

IN CitroÃ«n, DS4, Photo, Photography, Competition, Cycle & Carriage France Pte Ltd, Singapore

In our first ever photo competition, we've partnered the Most Beautiful Car of the Year, the CitroÃ«n DS4. 3 winners will walk away with a weekend with the DS4, petrol vouchers and more!

I can't wait any longer. I want to know what 340 bhp feels like, so I floor it. Woah! This is a blisteringly quick car. From the lightning quick shifts from the S-tronic gearbox, to the sensational 5-cylinder engine soundtrack, this car is fast, fast, fast. The quattro drivetrain helps keep you in check too, so you can really exploit all that power. There's no doubt this car will smack the smirk off anyone driving a much more expensive sportscar. EVO or STi? No problem. Unless they've got a huge aftermarket turbo under the bonnet, the result will be the same - Germany 1, Japan 0.
