A Personalized Touch, DS Style


DS has a history of releasing avant-garde limited editions, such as the "DS3 Dark Side" which combined matte paint with patterns. The newly released limited edition "Black Lézard" embodies DS's signature approach to personalization.


The body color and door mirrors are finished in Noir Perlanera, complemented by two-tone black 17-inch alloy wheels. The standout feature is the roof sticker, designed to resemble genuine lizard skin.


The sticker covers a wide area, from the door window frames to the rear spoiler. It reportedly takes two people two hours of manual work to apply, creating an unprecedented two-tone finish.

Only 10 units will be sold, priced at 2.81 million yen.
