The silhouette of the goddess, more than five meters long, graced the covers of glossy magazines and was also used in cinema. In Buñuel's "Belle de jour," for example, Catherine Deneuve stepped out of a DS cab.

The experienced chauffeur was able to keep the limousine under control and bring it to safety despite two shot-out tires.

The special features of the unique DS7 Crossback Présidentiel include a roof that can be opened so that Emmanuel Macron can wave to the people on the Champs-Elysées.
