The Citroen SM has its own unique style with a dramatic fastback, squared off rear end, small fender skirts and quad round headlamps that are recessed. The SM was unusually aerodynamic for its era, with Kamm tail and generating a low drag coefficient of 0.26. The car came standard with a hydro-pneumatic self-leveling and variable height suspension, anti-locking front and rear disc brakes, air conditioning and a radio that is uncommonly located in the console. The 1971 Import Buyers Guide said the car “was like being in another world- a world of speed, comfort and safety never felt before on any other car we have driven!”

This attractive Citroen SM is finished in a metallic blue exterior with small fender skirts, radial tires and stainless wheel covers. The interior is fitted with power windows, AM radio, tan leather that shows its age, and matching tan carpet. Powering the car is a V-6 Maserati engine with dual exhaust, connected to a manual front-wheel drive gearbox.

The Citroen SM received accolades when introduced and was the recipient of the 1972 Motor Trend Car of the Year Award. In 2005, as a signal to the way this car has endured in people’s hearts over the ensuing years, the design placed eleventh in the Automobile Magazine “100 Coolest Cars” listing.
