Citroen DS23 Pallas Green Norev 1:18 181570 Diecast
1 / 8
Norev's 1:18 diecast Citroen DS23 Pallas in green represents the final and most powerful DS engine option, paired with the Pallas trim's added chrome and comfort touches. The DS's hydropneumatic self-leveling suspension and Bertoni-designed shape made it one of the most technically advanced sedans of its era, a reputation this diecast wears well.

About the Citroen DS23 Pallas Green Norev 1:18

TL;DR: The Norev Citroen DS23 Pallas 1:18 diecast reproduces the final and most powerful DS engine variant in green, dressed in the Pallas trim's extra brightwork and comfort features. It captures Flaminio Bertoni's aerodynamic 1955 shape at its most refined, a fitting anchor for a Citroen or 1970s luxury sedan display.

By 1974 the DS had been in production for nearly two decades, and the 23-series engine represented the model's final and strongest form before Citroen replaced it with the CX in 1975, closing out one of the most influential sedan designs of the postwar era.

A Diecast Built Around the DS's Engineering Reputation

The DS earned its reputation on hydropneumatic self-leveling suspension, a system that let the real car glide over rough roads and even limp home on three wheels if one tire failed, a party trick period reviewers wrote about constantly. Norev's diecast does not replicate that hydraulic system, naturally, but it does capture the low, swept-back roofline and forward-leaning nose that made Bertoni's 1955 design look futuristic well into the 1970s. The Pallas badge added extra chrome trim, better sound insulation, and upgraded upholstery over standard DS trim, and the model reflects that with brighter detailing around the grille and window surrounds. Zinc alloy construction gives the body real heft in hand, with opening doors revealing a cabin styled closer to a lounge than a typical family sedan interior of the period. Norev's French-classics catalog treats the DS as a flagship subject, and the finish level here matches that status without pushing into resin-tier pricing.

The DS23's Place in a 1970s French Collection

The 23-series engine, a 2.3-liter fuel-injected unit, was the most powerful the DS ever received, arriving late in the car's life as Citroen sharpened performance before the CX took over. That makes a DS23 a meaningful bookend for a chronology built around the DS, sitting well past the earlier DS19 and DS21 and standing in for the model's engineering peak. Displayed beside other Norev Citroens of the era, the DS23 Pallas reads as the senior car of the group, the one with the most trim and the largest engine, and its green finish gives it a period-correct color that avoids the more common black or white DS liveries seen elsewhere. For a collector working through Citroen's postwar sedan lineage, this is close to the natural high point before the badge moved on to a different design language entirely.
