We haven\u2019t heard much about French luxury brand DS Automobiles lately but there\u2019s now some exciting news to share. Meet the E-Tense Performance, a drop-dead gorgeous coupe conceived to preview the company\u2019s future design language. It has been envisioned as a sporty coupe with a low roof and a massive rear diffuser.<\/p>\n

The LED lighting at the front and rear looks incredibly sharp and quite fitting for an avant-garde performance car with zero emissions. The stunning concept takes after the 2016 E-Tense and has been envisioned as a more aggressive follow-up to showcase EVs can be just as exciting as gasoline-fueled vehicles.<\/p>\n

It has the technical specifications to back up such a bold design by featuring two electric motors providing a combined output of 805 horsepower (600 kilowatts). With one motor driving the front axle and the other the rear wheels, the DS E-Tense Performance concept boasts all-wheel drive. The weight penalty caused by the EV-related hardware has been partially offset by the adoption of a carbon monocoque.<\/p>\n

The battery capacity has not been disclosed, but we do know it has a compact size and sits within a carbon-aluminum composite envelope. It has been installed in a central rear position to improve weight distribution akin to a gasoline supercar featuring a mid-engined layout. The sophisticated battery can deliver phases of acceleration and regeneration of up to 600 kilowatts for quicker acceleration and energy recuperation, respectively.<\/p>\n

The vehicle\u2019s performance will be tested in the real world in February by the company\u2019s racing side.<\/p>\n
