About the Citroen DS23 Pallas Green Norev 1:18

TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 diecast Citroen DS23 Pallas in green reproduces the final, most powerful DS built in 1974, complete with the flagship Pallas trim. The diecast captures the car's aerodynamic Bertoni bodywork and self-levelling stance, suiting collectors who want a French design icon in solid metal.

Few saloons changed what a car could look like the way the DS did in 1955, and the DS23 Pallas represents the design at its most developed, running the largest engine Citroen ever fitted to the model.

Norev's Diecast Reading of the DS's Aerodynamic Body

The DS's shape, with its low nose, wraparound glass and swooping rear haunches, is one of the hardest silhouettes in classic motoring to get right in miniature, and Norev's diecast handles the compound curves cleanly, with panel lines sitting where the original's steel body actually breaks. The Pallas badge denotes the top luxury trim, and the model reflects that with additional brightwork around the windows and wheel arches compared with a base DS. Weight in the hand confirms proper zinc-alloy construction rather than a hollow shell, and the doors open on hinges solid enough to hold their position, letting a collector show off the cabin without the panel drooping. Green paint sits with the even depth expected of Norev's mid-tier finishing.

The DS23's Place at the End of a Landmark Production Run

By the time the DS23 arrived, the model had been in production for nearly two decades, and its hydropneumatic self-levelling suspension, once considered almost magical by contemporary road testers, had been refined rather than reinvented. The 23 designation refers to the largest engine offered in the range, giving the final cars the performance the original 1955 design had always promised but rarely delivered. Pallas trim added extra sound insulation, better seating and more chrome, positioning this DS as the car wealthier French buyers chose over a comparable German saloon. For a collector, this variant closes out the DS story rather than opening it, the most complete expression of a shape that never really had a rival.

Building a Citroen Display Around the DS23

At roughly 25cm long in 1:18, the DS23 Pallas commands real shelf presence next to smaller Citroens like the Ami 6 or 2CV, and its low stance makes an effective contrast against upright saloons from other marques on the same shelf. Norev's diecast will not carry the ultra-sharp shut lines of a specialist resin builder, but the DS's design strength does the work here regardless of tier, and a mass-market price makes it easy to justify alongside pricier pieces in a themed French collection.
