MOTOR:

A car in this category deserves a six-cylinder. Citroën did not think so. and here we face the four-cylinder in traditional vertical line installed with a displacement of 2. 47 cc Compression is 8. 7: 1 and power. thanks to electronic fuel injection is 141 hp. SAE. at 5. 00 rpm.

This is a conventional engine design. almost "square" (career and substantially equivalent diameter of the cylinder) liquid-cooled and endowed the most sophisticated and modern energy system that exists: the electronic injection.

As this vehicle is a real complex. interdependent body without running the engine nothing works. Steering and suspension. brake and clutch require energy source that is this central agency able to operate all

It not only has all the praise of the most important magazines. but after a survey title: the most beautiful car history. "also won third place in the competition car Century proclaimed the Ford T as the car par excellence of the twentieth century . and fifth among the 100 most important cars of the century by French publication 'Automobile Magazine.

It was the attraction of the Paris Motor Show in 1955. In less than an hour. open the show already had 743 orders and 12 000 at the end of the day !!!.

Interior details:

A spacious and comfortable interior that housed the original single-arm wheel is adorned with a green and yellow spring DS champagne with both white- band wheels with these words. strictly true:

The council is a true sculpture. All buttons are fully integrated and accessible without taking your hands off the wheel. Its shape naturally down allows light and accentuates the impression of space. The entire cabin reflects the concern for ergonomics designers. For example. there is easy to see a whole new door handle. No need to make any useless to push the door open and contortion. Both actions are accompanied by a single movement.

Mechanics:

Front wheel drive.

5 speed. manual gearbox.

Brakes front disc and rear drum hydraulically assisted (the first car in the world that offered in series).

Hydraulically assisted rack address.

Suspension:

Its main novelty was the incorporation of hydropneumatic suspension with automatic height correction. All important mechanisms were assisted: gearbox. clutch. steering. brakes (front disc. for the first time in the world a series of vehicle). two independent brake circuits. automatic delivery of load braking function. etc.

What made the DS. even superior. was the embodiment of self-leveling height to maintain a constant march. indifferent to the load.

He offered many advantages. low center of gravity. proper alignment of the headlights beams.
