1970 CITROEN Type : SM Serial number: SB0322 French registration The 322nd produced Desirable carburetor version Timeless configuration Launched in March 1970 and based on the DS platform, the SM had the misfortune to be born in a difficult period for large-displacement 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 with the chevrons. Although its powertrain may have been derived directly from the Maserati Indy's V8, with two cylinders amputated, the production SM's engine was actually developed from scratch. With 6 cylinders in a V-shape, the SM's engine produced 170 hp at 5,500 rpm on carburettor-equipped 1970 to 1972 models. With its four disc brakes with hydraulic control and assistance, Diravi power steering and directional headlamps, and a CX of just 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 only 12,920 examples had been built. This Citroën SM is a carbureted version. It is in good cosmetic condition. In the Pottier collection since 2019, the car has been serviced by SM Passion. However, due to its prolonged immobilization, after having been integrated into our collector's personal museum, and although the engine is running, the technical inspection is being revisited for a leak on the left rear sphere and for the malfunctioning of the parking brake. 1970 CITROEN Type: SM Serial number: SB0322 French registration The 322nd produced Desirable carburettor version Timeless configuration Launched in March 1970 and based on the DS platform, the SM had the misfortune to be born in a difficult period for large cars.
