Citroën M35 - Hotrod with sugar water wankel engine

September 28, 2012 — Peter Ruch (Radical-Mag)42

At the end of the sixties, Citroën believed in the future of the Wankel engine and invested generously in corresponding models. The first commercially available Citroën Wankel vehicle was the M35, which was loosely based on the Ami 6/8 but priced several classes higher. Citroën wanted to gain experience with this car and sold a limited number of them to "test drivers". It was not a success, although the silky engine still impresses today. This report describes the history of the Citroën Wankel vehicles and provides driving impressions on board the M35, illustrated with current and historical pictures.
