DS N°8 Présidentielle: Details of the French Presidential vehicle

The DS N°8 Présidentielle, a custom vehicle designed for the French Presidency, features unique aesthetic and technical specifications. The car is finished in a custom Sapphire Blue shade, and its DS Luminascreen grille illuminates with the French tricolor (blue, white, and red). Additional tricolor details include specific badges on the hood, trunk, and front and rear of the vehicle, along with flag holders on the front fenders.

The interior showcases high-end French craftsmanship. Lison de Caunes, continuing the legacy of André Groult, oversaw the creation of straw marquetry in seafoam green and midnight blue tones for the dashboard and door decorations. The Atelier Lognon provided unique pleated textile work for the door panels, while FOCAL supplied a specialized high-quality audio system.

For security and functionality, the vehicle was customized by Centigon, a specialist in armored vehicles and bespoke security solutions, to ensure it meets the requirements of the Presidency of the Republic.
