In what could be his last World Rally Championship, Sebastien Loeb will drive this Citroen DS3 WRC next year and while we only get a fleeting, in-the-dark glimpse of the car in this video, we can’t wait to see it revealed on September 30th. The 2011 Citroen rally model will be presented at the 2010 Paris Motor Show in what will be a busy event for French car manufacturers. Meanwhile, the WRC is getting awfully sexy, with the Mini Countryman competing next year as well. Bring it on!

Here are some pics of the Citroen DS3 rally version testing to meet current guidelines for manufacturers under new WRC regulations for 2011. The DS3 R3 will be equipped with a 1.6-litre turbo engine, and you can see all the racing touch-ups required with internal roll-bar, lowered skirts, racing wheels and tyres, and large front air intake.

The Citroen DS3 will enter the R3T category where it should cross swords with the Abarth 500 R3T. We can’t wait for more details and official pics of this Citreon DS3 rally, and hope to see it churning up some dirt on the rally circuit in the future.
