DS N°8 Breaks Barriers With 466 Miles Of Range And A 0.24 Drag Coefficient
by AutoExpert | 2 December, 2024
DS Automobiles is rewriting its own playbook with a bold new entry: the DS N°8. This fastback EV not only marks a fresh direction in design but also introduces a whole new naming philosophy. The “N°” is a nod to French heritage, standing for “number,” but DS has added a touch of elegance with a diamond-shaped symbol.
Inside, the N°8’s cabin feels like a blend of futuristic tech and artisanal craftsmanship. The centerpiece is a four-spoke steering wheel that seamlessly blends functionality and form with hidden controls. A wide digital display dominates the dashboard, floating above a minimalist center console with touch-sensitive controls.
Ambient lighting casts a soft glow over rich materials, creating a space that feels more like a high-end lounge than a car interior. Adding to the sensory experience is the Focal Electra 3D audio system, positioned high on the door panels for immersive sound. On the outside, every aspect of the DS N°8 is built for both beauty and efficiency.
The sleek roofline and grille aren’t just for show—they help achieve an impressive drag coefficient of 0.24. Pixel Vision headlights at the front and thin LED taillights at the back add sharp, futuristic accents. Underneath, the N°8 rides on the STLA Medium platform, built exclusively for electric power.
With a range of up to 466 miles on a single charge, it promises to go the distance. While DS hasn’t spilled all the details about its powertrain, one thing’s certain: this is a fully electric affair, no compromises. Set to debut in just a few weeks, the DS N°8 is a symbol of where luxury and innovation are headed. Keep an eye out; this is only the beginning!
