However, facts of the DS3 Convertible are vague. It isn't clear whether Citroen will use a metal folding roof or a fabric roof. In addition, it’s uncertain if the DS3 Convertible will have the same engine line-up as the hatch, which consists of three petrol's and two turbo-diesel engines.
Prices for the DS3 Convertible have yet to be announced, but expect to pay around £2,000 over the hatchback, which would mean a starting price of roughly £14,000.
On annual «Festival of Speed» that will pass in English Gudvude, to visitors will suggest to admire the most powerful and ridiculous of all Mini, existing in the nature. Simply enough to look at a photo, to understand that people with the hypertrophied sense of humour created this car. On some cars especially cheerful guys already established engines from tank "Centurion" and a fighter "Spitfajr", but here to supply Mini with diesel engine Cummins QSK78 in weight in 11 300 kg anybody did not guess yet. This motor V18 has a working volume in 78 litres, is supplied by twelve turbo compressors, develops capacity in 3500 h.p. (13 770 Nm) and is specially created for installation on the career dump trucks, capable to transport cargoes in weight to 360 tons.
Founders of this grotesque do not inform, whether their child independently is capable to move or is made only for public relations. However, they will absolutely achieve the purpose – this car will not be deprived by attention. 78-litre Mini. Sounds?
