The Citroën SM was the top model of the French company Citroën in the 1970s. It is not known if the letters SM stand for anything. Some sources say that the S could come from ‘Project S’, others that SM would mean “Sport Maserati”, and others that it would stand for Sa Majesté, which means Her Majesty – this following the example of DS, Déesse. In 1961 Citroën launched ‘Project S’, with the aim of developing a luxury car with revolutionary performance such as a top speed of more than 180 km/h and advanced technical refinements based on the DS. The first contacts with Maserati, Italy, for the development of a new engine block, followed two years later. In 1968 Citroën took over the Italian company, with the aim of using Maserati’s powerful V6 engine for the SM. This USA version is in good condition but the brakes need some attention. To get a good idea of the car, we advise you to come to one of the viewing days.
