While the new Citroen DS3 Racing Cabrio went on sale about a couple of weeks ago, the special edition model will make its motor show premiere in Geneva next month.

Besides some fresh photos, the French firms revealed today that, production of the (partially) ragtop edition of the sporty DS3 Racing will be limited to just 100 examples. That compares to 1,000 units of the regular DS3 Racing.

The Cabrio sheds its metal roof and rear window gaining a foldable cloth top, adding 25kg (55 lbs) in the process over the DS3 Racing hatchback. The only other difference is the availability of a new Moondark matt grey body color paired to a black roof, 18-inch Nemesis gloss black wheels and Carmin Red door bands and accents.

Similar colors can be found in the sported up interior that features a numbered identification plate on the gear lever surround.

As with the DS3 Racing hatch, motivation is provided by Citroen’s 1.6-liter turbocharged petrol engine rated for 207PS or 204hp, linked to a six-speed manual gearbox that turns the front wheels.
