DS E-Tense Performance & egrave; an electric prototype that contains all the technology of the French brand inside it, so much so that it is defined as “a very high performance laboratory, destined to accelerate the development of technology for the next DS Automobiles projects”. It is a sports heiress of the prototype that the car manufacturer presented & ograve; back in 2016. Over the years, the brand has continued to work on its concept, evolving it thanks to the skills gained within the Formula E championship.
This new prototype, therefore, contains within it many of those contents that we will find on the future electric DS, remembering that from 2024, the goal of the car manufacturer is; to sell only 100% electric cars.
Our goal is; apply the experience gained in Formula E with that from our international titles to a project that envisions the high-performance electric car of tomorrow. & Egrave; a laboratory that we will use to analyze the functioning of the components and to develop them in view of future production. The idea is also to find solutions to lower costs, improve production and explore implementations in production models. The next generations of the E-TENSE range will benefit from these developments.
READY TO GO ON THE ROAD 
The new DS E-Tense Performance is not; a simple exercise in style as the Formula E drivers Jean- & Eacute; ric Vergne and Antonio Felix da Costa they will take turns at the wheel of the prototype to finalize its development, before starting tests on the track and open roads. At that point, DS Automobiles will reveal & agrave; the performance of this electric sports car. The premises are very interesting. The brand says that the car adopts a carbon monocoque frame .
The powertrain & egrave; consisting of two electric motors capable of offering a total power of 600 kW/815 CV (250 kW at the front and 350 kW at the rear) with a torque at the wheels of 8,000 Nm. It is a unit & agrave; that come directly from Formula E. C & # 39; & egrave; a very interesting detail. Just like in the electric single-seaters, the DS E-Tense Performance d & agrave; the priority to energy recovery . In fact, it has a capacity; of regeneration up to 600 kW . For security reasons, however, it is; there is also a classic braking system. Normally, however, only the regeneration system is used for braking.
The battery with the capacity not yet communicated, & egrave; very compact and & egrave; housed in a carbon-aluminum composite case. The technicians decided to place it in a central position for optimal weight distribution. The accumulator is was developed in collaboration with TotalEnergies and its subsidiary Saft.
The result of this partner's research hides an innovative chemistry and immersive cooling system for the cells, in contrast to current technology, thanks to a bespoke design of the Quartz EV Fluid solution. This battery allows acceleration and regeneration phases up to 600 kW and allows to explore new avenues for future generations of production vehicles.
This prototype is; also served to the manufacturer to anticipate some stylistic choices that we will see on its future cars. The car, as told at the beginning, is the result of the evolution of the 2016 concept. For example, the front features a new panel that replaces the classic air intake. This is the DS Aero Sport Lounge with three-dimensional effect that includes the logo and the new LED lights with a subtle design. The 21-inch wheels have an aerodynamic profile.
No photos of the cockpit with the manufacturer only talking about bucket sports seats and a Formula E-inspired steering wheel. also an audio system developed by Focal.
