Citroën SM (1970 to 1975)

The Citroën SM was introduced in 1970. The SM was a series of sporty coupes created by Citroën in order to take advantage of their advanced hydropneumatic suspension with a Maserati V6 engine. As Citroën had acquired Maserati in 1968, this was not such a crazy feat. The result of this combination was a car lauded for its ride and handling, as well as its dynamic capabilities. Over the course of production, a 2.7L or 3.0L V6 unit were fitted alongside a 3 speed automatic or 5 speed manual. Production of the Citroën SM ended in 1975.
