The work of an exceptionally talented team, the DS Citroën had the difficult task in 1955 of following on from the Traction Avant model. The public was astounded by the unprecedented and highly modernistic shape, which was the triumphant masterpiece of Flaminio Bertoni. But almost equal surprise was created by the many technical innovations, including amongst others hydropneumatic suspension, high ratio power steering, high pressure assisted disc brakes and semi-automatic gearbox.
A career spanning twenty years and encompassing a range of versions from elegant dropheads to estate car bodies also included motorsports successes such as outright victory in the 1958 Monte-Carlo Rally.
A real icon and a symbol of a whole era of brilliant French engineering achievement, the DS is one of the most sought after classic cars in the world. Enthusiasts in such places as California and Australia still drive these cars daily, providing a tribute to the model's robustness and ease of use.
