In 1970, Citroën presented a car that was far ahead of its time: the Citroën SM. <br> <br> The SM was the result of Citroën's ambition to bring together technology, comfort and performance in one special Gran Turismo. <br> <br> Under the long bonnet was a powerful Maserati V6 engine, with which Citroën gave the SM a sporty character that was unusual for the brand. <br> The collaboration with Maserati not only gave the SM its special engine, but also an exclusive look and a place all its own within the automotive world. <br> <br> With its streamlined body, low nose and characteristic rear, the SM immediately distinguished itself from any other car on the market. <br> The SM was also technically remarkable, including the well-known hydropneumatic suspension from Citroën and an advanced hydraulic system for various functions. <br> <br> The car also had a special steering and braking system, with which Citroën once again showed that it liked to question traditional car technology. <br> When it was introduced, the SM was intended for drivers who were looking for not only speed, but also comfort, silence and an exceptional driving experience. <br> <br> The combination of a Maserati engine and Citroën's innovative technology made the SM one of the most special European cars of its time. <br> In 1971, chassis number 00SB5386 came on the market as one of the early examples of this special Gran Turismo. <br> <br> With the SM, Citroën wanted to show that a luxury travel car could be technically innovative, comfortable and sporty at the same time. <br> More than half a century later, the Citroën SM is still considered a unique chapter in the history of both Citroën and Maserati. <br> = More information = Transmission: Handgeschakel
