"Aerodynamically shaped like an arrowhead, equipped like a luxury car, sprung like a sedan chair" was how the magazine 'hobby' described Citroën's sensational new release, the SM, in 1970. It is clear that author Heinz Kranz was enthusiastic about the new sports sedan. This vehicle report reproduces the original wording of the article from back then and is illustrated with the high-resolution images of the time.
12,920 Citroën SMs were built between 1970 and 1975. This meant that the sporty French car performed far below expectations and the joint production with Maserati, which supplied the V6 engine, was not crowned with success. The elegant Gran Turismo was supposed to succeed the great sports cars from Delahaye, Bugatti, Facel-Vega and Talbot-Lago. This vehicle report tells the story of the beautiful Citroën SM and portrays the car, which was exhibited at the 1973 Geneva Motor Show, in detail. The report is supplemented by technical data and many historical photographs.
When Citroën presented the SM with the Maserati V6 engine in 1970, this car was unrivaled from the manufacturer's point of view and represented a new automotive category. The coachbuilder Chapron converted the SM into the Mylord convertible and made it even more extraordinary. This vehicle report portrays the SM Mylord and tells the story of a special specimen.
