A Brief History of the Citroën SM

The Citroën SM made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show in 1970 as a flagship grand tourer. It was the result of Citroën’s ambition to create a luxury car that combined the company’s advanced technologies with the sporty performance of a Maserati engine.

The SM was powered by a Maserati V6 engine, available in 2.7L or 3.0L configurations, delivering power and refinement that complemented its futuristic styling. With its aerodynamic design, the SM offered exceptional performance and a top speed of over 220 km/h (137 mph), making it one of the fastest front-wheel-drive cars of its time.

Its groundbreaking features included:

• Hydropneumatic Suspension: A hallmark of Citroën, providing an unparalleled smooth ride and self-leveling capabilities.
• Variable-Assist Power Steering (DIRAVI): Revolutionary steering technology that adjusted resistance based on speed.
• Aerodynamic Design: Featuring a Kammback rear for enhanced stability and a drag coefficient of just 0.26.
• Luxurious Interior: A cockpit designed for comfort and elegance, with premium materials and innovative controls.

The Citroën SM was ahead of its time, earning accolades such as the European Car of the Year runner-up in 1971 and widespread admiration for its innovation.
