1972 Citroën SM Maserati
Concours condition
Performance and reliability
The ultimate version in the XK series
Registration: Normal series French registration certificate
Chassis n°: 00SB9182
Introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in 1970, the SM - for Project S Maserati - made a striking debut with its innovative styling by Robert Opron. Its taut lines gave the SM an exceptionally dynamic look. Its excellent drag coefficient of 0.46 was the result of extensive wind tunnel work, which determined its overall appearance. Taking advantage of Citroën‘s takeover of Maserati in 1968, under the bonnet the SM had a completely new twin-cam V6 engine with a capacity of 2670cc bearing the trident logo. Making use of the hydropneumatic suspension from the DS, it retained the level of comfort that Citroën held dear, while the new Diravi steering with a power-assisted return mechanism made it possible to maintain high speeds with complete ease. Only 12,920 cars would be sold during the model's five years in production. Increasingly sought after today, the SM is attracting more and more interest. The perfect blend of modernity, comfort and performance, the SM is a true GT, which is different, prestigious and stylish.
In the hands of her second owner since 1975, our Citroën SM has the highly prized specification with three Weber carburettors. She was delivered new in April 1972 wearing the striking and unusual metallic silver green shade of paint which suits the car perfectly, particularly with upholstery in black leather. She was equipped with air conditioning. The owner of a garage near Paris bought the car from the first lady owner, a client of his who found the SM too large for her. This vehicle therefore has the advantage of an exceptionally stable history. Having recently been “round the clock” the odometer reads just over 100 000 kilometres. In early 2018 a mechanical overhaul was completed, including the 2.7 litre engine, the carburettors,
