Gran Turismo 7: Citroen DS21 the luxury on slow mode

More of the new cars from the update just a bit late since weekend was very tiring so needed a break, but here it is one of the last cars from the update. The DS21 is a very peculiar car in my view, its design being very out of common while seeking that artistic view. Although the looks maybe don't go with you all for a 60's era car it's very good, not only can keep traction with its mighty 128hp but it don't give that instability while braking it, a very forgiving car even by its age. One thing that got my attention and honestly selling point is the directional lights that when you turn the steering they follow good reason to buy and stare at it for hours. In the end a slow car but with good feats on it 49,500 Is not a bad price

I owned a DS 23 i.e. Pallas and drove it about 500.000km through Europe back in the 1970th.

[@rouding5382]

This definitely sounds like a blast of a time, can say too it was a very comfortable car

[@dickdaley9059]

Exceptionally designed and engineered for its time!

[@rouding5382]

It have such minimal details too specially the headlights

[@loopwithers]

Nice upload, thanks! Unfortunately, the modelling of the DS's 'real world' handling characteristics is incorrect but that is not your fault. Also, no DS ever had tyres quite so wide. Nor do they ever oversteer. The handbrake works only on the front wheels so you cannot force a drift that way, either.🙏

[@rouding5382]

@@loopwithers I didn’t forced a drift it was simply the bot touching the rear that caused that since I tried to enter in front of it didn’t hesitated to still pass. Also thanks for the information about the tires I was searching for information about it and nothing much was found.

[@loopwithers]

@@rouding5382 oh - I never thought that it was you who drifted. It was incorrect data inputted into the bot. Bot has not been programmed correctly for the DS. I'll try and send you a useful link.

Very smooth ride, and perfect steering. One of my favorite cars in GT7... All tuned up, it gets around 250 horsepower for 1050 kg weight. Which makes it a very interesting car for 600PP races ;)

Many flat tyres, sometimes stuffed with grass and cowhide after tube failure. Citroen have been sold continuously in Australia since 1919/20.. IDs were assembled in Melbourne from 1961 to 1967. DSs were more expensive and were fully imported as well as the Safari.
