Never heard about this one.

Spotted in Torrance CA

Spotted this modern hilux just outside of DC with normal maryland plates, no clue how they were able to get this registered. LHD too

DS the luxury brand of Citroen was never that popular in the UK, but while most of their models can be seen from time to time, the DS9 isn’t one of those cars, only around 140 to 150 cars were ever sold in the UK in the 4 years that they were sold for, from 2020 to early 2024 and there’s currently 142 examples road legal. With the prices starting at over £60k it easy to see why it didn’t sell.

I believe it was originally developed for the Chinese market, where it was built instead of France. It was the first DS model that was sold in both Europe and Asia. Only a few thousand cars were sold worldwide.

Saw this car a while ago on the way to LA!

I’ve seen about 5 of each that I can remember.

Unknown if it's "rare" but XLR's aren't a dime a dozen, so to see an edition like this is certainly neat. It wasn't in great shape, especially the hood and headlights, but it's also 15-20 years old, so some marks are to be expected
