The first video of the Citroën Numéro 9 has sprung up in the wake of its official presentation on Thursday night.
The sleek looking concept model continues to push Citroën's DS lineup more upmarket while also previewing the design elements to be found in three brand new DS vehicles that will soon launch onto the market, including a C-segment compact sedan, an SUV and a mid-size D-Segment sedan.

Over the past few weeks, we managed to gather bits and pieces about Citroën’s newest DS concept study and now, we not only have more than 120 high-resolution photos to share with you, but we also have all the details in advance of its world premiere at the Beijing Motor Show on April 24.
Previously believed to be named the DS9, the French study is called the Numéro 9 concept, though Citroën makes it clear that it belongs to the DS lineup.
Citroën says that the Numéro 9 introduces the more chic and premium DS lineup to Chinese consumers before the company launches its first DS products onto the market later this year.
More importantly though, Citroën states that the Numéro 9 refines the brand's design language and signals the styling cues of the next three DS line models including a C-segment premium sedan (think Audi A3 Sedan), an SUV and a D-segment (mid-size) executive saloon.
As you can see, Citroën is all hyped up about its DS line, which currently consists of the DS3 supermini, DS4 compact hatch and the larger DS5, and all for good reason as it has notched up more than 200,000 sales worldwide just two years after launch.

We've been closely following Citroën's new DS study and today, the first official photos of the concept model hit the web, a couple of weeks ahead of its world premiere at the 2012 Beijing Auto Show.
The French automaker's luxury concept is named DS9 and is said to be a further development of the Metropolis study shown back in 2010 for an upcoming flagship model.
The two concepts share a similar design language, though instead of a sedan body style, the new DS showcar adopts a more shooting break-like styling in the tradition of Citroën's range-toppers such as the original DS and the more modern CX, XM and C6 models.
Another day, another set of photos of Citroën's new DS concept model. Only this time, French car magazine Automobile managed to snag the DS study without a hint of camouflage, not that it was difficult as Citroën was photographing the new car at the Place de la Concorde, which is one of the best-known public squares in Paris, France.
The French magazine tells us that the concept will most likely carry the DS9 moniker and that it will be revealed in a few days ahead of its world premiere at next month's 2012 Beijing Motor Show.

Now that didn't take long, did it? Less than 24 hours after Citroën shared a pair of teaser photos of a new DS model on its Facebook pages, a blog reader stumbled upon the prototype being hastily covered up on the streets of Paris in France.
The real life shot confirms our suspicions that Citroen's new DS model has a five-door body style, while we'll agree with the folks over at News2zest that its styling looks like a mix of the Metropolis sedan and the GQbyCitroën studies, both of which were shown back in 2010.

Citroën is being quite the tease today releasing two cropped and cunningly shaded pictures of a new model that will carry the DS badge.
"The future of the DS line is already taking shape at Citroën", reads the legend under the photo, and that's about all the French automaker is willing to share about its new car for the time being.
A closer look at some of the details revealed by the photos such as the winged mirrors suggests that this is either a concept or a perhaps a production ready study.

General Motors' new French partner Citroën wants a stake in the highly competitive hot hatch segment and it plans to do so with the new DS4 Racing that was revealed as a thinly disguised concept model at the 82nd Geneva International Auto Salon.
Citroën's answer to the Focus ST and RenaultSport Megane is based on the five-door DS4 hatchback but features a more aggressive look thanks to a textured-effect matt grey paint and new carbon fibre components that include an air diffuser, front splitter and wheel arch extensions.
