About the Citroen DS23 Pallas Red Norev 1:18

TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 diecast Citroen DS23 Pallas in red reproduces the final, most powerful DS generation, with opening doors and bonnet exposing the cabin and engine bay. Zinc alloy diecast build. A significant French design subject for any classic saloon shelf.

By the time the DS23 arrived, Citroen had spent nearly two decades refining the DS's original hydropneumatic suspension concept, and this Pallas trim represents that development at its most complete.

Diecast Build and Opening Panels on the DS23 Pallas

The doors and bonnet open, showing a cabin trimmed to Pallas specification, Citroen's more luxurious DS grade, and an engine bay housing the larger unit fitted to this later variant. Norev's zinc alloy diecast gives the long, curved body genuine weight, and the DS's famously unusual silhouette, the sweeping roofline and covered rear wheel arches, is rendered with clean, continuous surfacing. The red paintwork carries a deep, even gloss that suits the car's flowing lines, and the distinctive single-spoke steering wheel and dashboard detail are captured with reasonable fidelity given the scale.

Why the DS Anchors a French Design Collection

The DS is widely regarded as one of the most significant pieces of automotive design to come out of France, its aerodynamic shape and hydropneumatic suspension decades ahead of contemporary saloons when it launched. A well-detailed DS23 Pallas therefore functions as a genuine centrepiece for a French classics shelf rather than simply another vintage saloon. With doors and bonnet opening, the piece invites the kind of close handling its unusual engineering deserves, and it pairs naturally with earlier or later DS variants to trace the model's long production run.
