A large gran turismo with a Maserati engine and headlamps that turn with the steering.

Citroën owned Maserati and put a V6 in a car with the DS's suspension. The SM was technically very advanced but arrived just before the oil crisis and sold poorly.

Materials: Steel body; Maserati V6 engine

Manufacture: Made in Paris and later by Ligier; hydropneumatic suspension.

The glass front with six headlamps.

The long, tapering tail.
