Superb condition
Launched in March 1970 and based on the DS platform, the SM had the misfortune to be born in a difficult period for big cars. Developed in part with Maserati, the SM was particularly ahead of its time with a remarkable design and a hydropneumatic suspension system dear to the firm. Although one could think that its mechanics were directly derived from the Maserati Indy V8, to which two cylinders were amputated. However, it turns out that the engine of the production SM was developed from scratch. With six cylinders in a V-shape, the SM's engine developed 170 horsepower at 5500 rpm on the carburettor-equipped 1970 to 1972 models. Equipped with four disc brakes with hydraulic control and assistance, Diravi power steering, directional headlamps, all offering a CX of only 0.339, the SM had everything to succeed! Unfortunately, the oil crisis and the reliability problems encountered by the SM put an end to its career in 1975 after 12,920 cars were produced.
This Citroën SM presented here is a carburettor version in very good condition and with a very low original mileage of 52,536 kms. The white exterior paintwork perfectly marks its sublime lines. The engine, the gearbox and the clutch are perfectly functional and the black interior is almost flawless. This is an opportunity to treat yourself to a model and an association of mythical manufacturers from the 70s.
