According to a petrolhead friend, the lights turn in sync with the wheels (way before its time). And it has a Maserati engine. Name that jammer?

Anyone?

  3. The Tec Dr

    Easy peasy. It’s a Citroen SM and it was built after Citroen bought Maserati. Which is why it has a Maserati engine.

  5. Liam Deliverance

    A rather splendid and rare Citroen SM, first built in 1970. It was frowned upon to build large capacity engine luxury cars at the time in the post World war 2 era so this came with a relatively small 2.6L V6. The power steering was very innovative and the principle of it survives to this day, the idea was that the faster you went the less power assistance was given to the steering so that it was light steering for parking and slow maneuvers and heavy steering when traveling at motorway speeds.

  6. Slightly Bemused

    The directional lights were also on slightly later models of the Citroen DS, which the SM was supposed to replace, and the later CX. A friend had a CX and if I recall right, it was the inboard lights of the pair that turned, with the outboard pair staying pointed ahead. I never got to drive it so cannot comment on how much it adds to visibility at night. On our later, wider roads it is probably not as important as it was on narrower country bends.

  9. Fergalito

    Man they don’t make jammers like they used to.

    I’m far more likely to crane me neck and have a good gawk and swit-swoo at a 40 year old BMW or Ford Capri than any of the bland, uninteresting examples of contemporary car design.
