17 min • 14 januari 2025

In this Vintage Car Chronicles episode, we take a deep dive into the innovative history of the Citroën SM, a high-performance luxury coupe that combined Citroën’s avant-garde technology with Maserati's powerful engineering. Launched in 1970, the SM brought together Citroën’s iconic hydro-pneumatic suspension with Maserati’s V6 engine, creating a Grand Tourer like no other. Discover how this “Sport Maserati” model captivated the automotive world, and learn about its advanced features such as the DIRAVI power steering, self-leveling suspension, and swiveling headlights. We'll also explore why the SM's journey, despite its potential, was short-lived and how its unique blend of French and Italian engineering left a lasting impact on automotive history.
