04.07.2016Rest period for the nerves - new DS 4 from Norev

No, I really don't need this every night: A soccer game in which even the penalty shots goes into overtime and in which the fate of the national team in the EURO / EM 2016 is at stake - no, please not again! even when it turned out good and Germany is in the semifinals, it helps (at least me) just to come down  alittle. This is best done with a model car. Do you also think so? but of recent events, we remain in France and take a look at the new DS 4, that Norev now offered in 1:43 scale. DS Automobiles is an independent brand in the Citroën group and speak the upper house of rich tradition company in June, 2014.

This development is characterized also by the team at Norev after. The car model manufacturers from the French Vaulx-en-Vaulin ask ourselves a DS 4 available, where the characteristics of the new brand identity is understandable.

The model car with the item number 155457 is delivered in Polar White and forms the DS 4 of the model year 2015 in accordance with. How otherwise used by Norev, agree Design and appearance exactly matches the model available from 26870.00 euros. A very good first impression triggers the sculpturally shaped front apron, which is the large ventilation grilles and the ingeniously designed to match the grille accents. The inner workings of the headlights has been carefully reconstructed. The brand's grill mask and the exterior mirror housings exude a sense of luxury. The glazing, which also includes the roof, blends perfectly into the environment from die-cast zinc. An eyecatcher are the replicas of the two-tone alloy wheels.
