Car articles about Citroën Traction Avant 7 UA by year
This year marks the 90th anniversary of the Citroën Traction Avant, a car that was even further ahead of its time than the famous DS when it made its debut. This article takes a holistic look at the revolutionary car and places it in the history of the automobile.
Even before the revolutionary Traction Avant went into series production, Citroën had already thought about a later top-of-the-range engine - not in the form of the six-cylinder engine that appeared in 1938, however, but in the form of a V8 engine developed in-house. Test cars were driven and brochures were printed, but then the project was abruptly halted. To this day, the 22 CV remains one of the greatest mysteries in the brand's history.
At the end of 1938, the six-cylinder engine finally gave the Traction Avant the engine power to match its outstanding chassis. Although hardly changed externally, the technology was constantly developed further, so that even in the mid-fifties one of the most old-fashioned cars still had one of the most advanced wheel suspensions. This article is dedicated to the last Citroën saloon with a six-cylinder engine until the appearance of the XM.
The Citroën DS became a car of the century, which soon had a large clientele behind it and which can still count on a large number of loyal and enthusiastic owners today. The car was and is something unique and is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year. Let's take a look back at the design and technology and follow its complex development.
