DS N°4 SAILGP: PERFORMANCE IN THE COLOURS OF DS AUTOMOBILES SAILGP TEAM FRANCE AT THE ROLEX SWITZERLAND SAIL GRAND PRIX IN GENEVA

• Since January 2026, DS Automobiles has been title partner of the DS Automobiles SailGP Team France squad that competes in the SailGP championship, one of the fastest-growing international sports competitions today.

•  For the Rolex Switzerland Sail Grand Prix of Geneva, which will take place on 19 and 20 September on Lake Geneva, DS Automobiles is unveiling a unique DS N°4 clad in an exclusive livery.

•  Inspired by DS Automobiles SailGP Team France’s F50 catamaran, this livery transfers the world of high-performance inshore sailing to DS N°4’s curves. It uses the team’s iconic colours, Midnight Blue and Metallic Gold, to create an instant visual link with the boat competing in the SailGP championship.

For the Rolex Switzerland Sail Grand Prix of Geneva, held on 19 and 20 September on Lake Geneva, DS Automobiles is strengthening its commitment to SailGP Team France by unveiling a unique DS N°4 in an exclusive livery for the occasion. It establishes a bridge between land and water and underlines the values shared by the French premium manufacturer and the French team: design, technological mastery, performance and efficiency.

DS Automobiles and SailGP Team France: a shared vision of performance

The SailGP championship brings together thirteen national teams over thirteen events held in some of the world’s largest cities. After ten meetings since the season opener in Perth, the Rolex Switzerland Sail Grand Prix of Geneva is the eleventh round and the last European Grand Prix of 2026. Two decisive events in the United Arab Emirates will follow: Dubai on 21 and 22 November, then the season finale in Abu Dhabi, on 28 and 29 November. Held as close as possible to the spectators, the regattas feature the F50s, catamarans flying on their foils capable of exceeding 100 km/h.

This first season in the colours of DS Automobiles has already been marked by a benchmark performance: at Sassnitz in August, the French F50 reached 58.11 knots, or 107.63 km/h, setting an absolute speed record in SailGP. Following the Valencia Grand Prix, DS Automobiles SailGP Team France is in the middle of a particularly tight field, with three rounds still to go to stand out from the competition.

On an F50 as well as a DS N°4, performance is not just about speed. It is born from the balance between aerodynamics, energy management, precise tuning and the collective intelligence of the development teams. In Geneva, the meeting between DS N°4 and the spectacular world of SailGP gives concrete expression to this shared vision.

From the F50 to DS N°4: one shared signature of performance

Inspired by the F50 of the DS Automobiles SailGP Team France, DS N°4’s exclusive livery reinterprets the rules of high-performance inshore sailing in a dynamic and refined way.

The combination of Midnight Blue and Metallic Gold, the team’s iconic colours, establishes an immediate relationship with the catamaran entered in the championship. The golden lines that run through the bodywork evoke the lines of the F50’s rigid wing, graphically conveying the power of the wind, speed and fluidity of movement.

The punctuated patterns that envelop the shape echo trajectories and data that shape performance in SailGP. Their progressive density support DS N°4’s dimensions, while the convergence of the lines asserts its momentum and gives graphic expression to the aerodynamic flows. Put together they transform the wind, speed and competitive spirit into an elegant and immediately recognisable visual signature.

DS N°4: a unique multi-energy offering in its segment

A compact saloon with a distinctive design combining elegance, presence and refinement, DS N°4 is the only one in its segment to have such a complete multi-energy range. Available in HYBRID 145, PLUG-IN HYBRID 240, 100% electric E-TENSE and Diesel BlueHDi 130 Automatic versions, DS N°4 provides everyone with the choice of the solution best suited to their uses.

This peace of mind extends beyond driving with DS SERENITY: a premium warranty of up to 8 years or 160,000 km, including infotainment system, complemented by 24/7 roadside assistance in 47 countries and the provision of a courtesy vehicle.

The same responsible ambition

The SailGP championship is recognised for its commitment to more responsible competition. Through its Impact League, the championship rewards the teams most committed to sustainable development, reducing their environmental footprint and outreach initiatives.

This quest for efficiency and responsible performance continues in the partnership between DS Automobiles and K-Challenge, which develops and operates the F50 for DS Automobiles SailGP Team France. Committed to the same dynamic of innovation, the two partners are exploring new solutions in terms of energy management, aerodynamics and materials. These areas resonate directly with DS N°4, whose elaborate shape, multi-energy offering and in-car technology illustrate the same desire to combine control, efficiency and driving pleasure. After Formula E, SailGP is a new testing ground for DS Automobiles production models.
