DS 3 Dark Light Limited Edition Front ViewDS 3 Dark Light Limited Edition is not a HIM-dedicated vehicle. If you are fan of the band, then you should know what I am talking about. For those who aren't familiar, HIM are a very cool band from Finland, dedicatedly playing the so called "love metal" for more than 24 years. They became extremely popular in the US with their fifth album, called ‘Dark Light', and are also best friends with the professional skateboarder Bam Margera. Being also an MTV Jackass star, he was the person who made the ‘Heartagram' symbol popular, which by the way is originally HIM's logo.

Enough off-topic. The here-presented limited edition of DS 3 will be produced in only 300 examples. It will be strictly distributed only in the UK.

Characteristic Design for the Exterior

If you are wondering why this DS 3 is called ‘Dark Light', here's the answer. The car is painted in Perla Nera Black metallic, but features one-off clear-backed metallic vinyl wrap along each side. The vinyl gives the feel that the black-as-the-night vehicle is slightly illuminated by the rising sunlight.
