A DS 3 E-TENSE FROM THE ANTOINE DE SAINT EXUPERY COLLECTION SOLD FOR €75,000 AT AN AUCTION TO RAISE FUNDS FOR PEDIATRIC CANCER RESEARCH
Inspired by the author’s poetic universe, the DS 3 E-TENSE COLLECTION ANTOINE DE SAINT EXUPERY pays tribute to the masterpiece “The Little Prince”. This model is a true invitation to travel, demonstrating that you don’t have to leave the earth to change the world.
The DS 3 E-TENSE COLLECTION ANTOINE DE SAINT EXUPERY made available to the Antoine de Saint Exupéry Youth Foundation by DS Automobiles is the fruit of a partnership signed between the two entities in May 2024. On this occasion, the Marque unveiled a collection bearing the name of the writer and aviator who died 80 years earlier. DS 3, DS 4 and DS 7 were offered with a wide range of engines and distinctive equipment.
The auctioned DS 3 E-TENSE COLLECTION ANTOINE DE SAINT EXUPERY was donated to the Fondation Gustave Roussy by the Antoine de Saint Exupéry Youth Foundation in support of the “Curing childhood cancer in the 21st century” campaign.

Each of them invited the participants to get involved for the benefit of children suffering from cancer.
“The DS 3 E-TENSE, in its exclusive COLLECTION ANTOINE DE SAINT EXUPERY livery, is the perfect blend of boldness, comfort and refinement. You’ll even have the opportunity to make it unique in the world by customizing it in close collaboration with the designers at the DS DESIGN STUDIO”.

DS Automobiles has made an additional contribution by adding an exceptional event to the “DS Automobiles” lot of this charity auction. The winner of the DS 3 E-TENSE ANTOINE DE SAINT EXUPERY will have the exceptional opportunity to visit the DS DESIGN STUDIO in the company of Thierry Metroz, Styling Director of DS Automobiles, and personalize his or her purchase with DS Automobiles designers.
Olivier d’Agay, President of the Antoine de Saint Exupéry youth Foundation and grand-nephew of the writer-aviator, was also present.
“I’m delighted that DS Automobiles has decided to commemorate the death of Antoine de Saint Exupéry on July 31, 1944. He is as much a part of France’s cultural heritage as the DS, arguably the most ingenious automobile ever invented. With the DS E-TENSE COLLECTION ANTOINE DE SAINT EXUPERY, we wanted to convey the emotion of his work, and I think the result is a great success, both subtle and intelligent. I’m delighted that we have joined forces to support the Gustave Roussy Foundation in its fight against pediatric cancer.
Olivier d’Agay – President of the Antoine de Saint Exupéry Youth Foundation
