DS E-Tense Coupe Looks Like France’s Conceptual Answer To Audi’s R8 E-Tron


The list of debuts for next week’s 2016 Geneva Motor Show continues to grow, with DS announcing the world premiere of the E-Tense.

The darkened teaser image reveals the profile of a coupe, with the name suggesting that it will be a battery-powered model.

Nothing else has been released about the E-Tense, but first details, and possibly images as well, are to be released on Friday morning.

DS Automobiles, an offshoot of Citroen and one of the world’s newest luxury brands, is slowly building up its own portfolio of models, as it wants to spread its wings in more markets around the globe, with company officials even considering a launch in the USA.

Currently, DS is working on six new models, including medium and large SUVs and sedans, as well as a coupe, though, at this point, we do not know if the concept previews a forthcoming sports car, or if it’s a study to promote the brand’s design language and technological goals.
