1972 CITROËN SM Numéro de série 00SC1197 GT française par excellence Carte grise française Lancée en mars 1970 et basée sur la plateforme de la DS, la SM eut la malchance de naître dans une période difficile pour les grosses cylindrées. Développée en partie avec Maserati, la SM était particulièrement en avance sur son temps avec un dessin des plus remarquables ainsi qu’une suspension hydropneumatique chère à la firme aux chevrons. Bien que l’on puisse penser que sa mécanique s’avère être issue directement du V8 de la Maserati Indy auquel on aurait amputé deux cylindres. Il s’avère pourtant que le moteur de la SM de série fut développé à partir d’une feuille blanche. Fort de 6 cylindres placés en V, le moteur de la SM développait 170 chevaux à 5500 tours par minutes sur les millésimes 1970 à 1972 équipés de carburateurs. Le millésime 1973 pour sa part se dote d’une injection électronique Bosch D-Jetronic portant sa puissance à 178 chevaux tout en augmentant le couple et diminuant la consommation de Sa Majesté Citroën. Equipée de quatre freins à disques avec commande et assistance hydraulique, d’une direction assistée Diravi, de projecteurs directionnels, le tout offrant un CX de seulement 0.339, la SM avait tout pour réussir ! Malheureusement, la crise pétrolière et les soucis de fiabilités rencontrés par la SM mirent fin à sa carrière dès 1975 après 12 920 exemplaires de fabriqués. La SM que nous proposons aujourd’hui à la vente est une version à injection qui, bien qu’immatriculée en 1972 fait donc partie du millésime 1973. Sa carrosserie signée Robert Opron est dans un état proche de la perfection et revêt un très beau brun métallisé. L’intérieur se pare de cuir marron et s’avère être en excellent état ! Bien qu’elle démarre et se lève, cette SM affichant près de 100 000 kilomètres nécessiterait une petite révision avant de pouvoir rouler à nouveau. Dans une élégante configuration, cette Citroën représente l’occasion d’acquérir ce qui semble encore aujourd’hui être le seul projet d’une véritable GT française et haut de gamme de l’après-guerre. 1973 CITROEN SM INJECTION Serial number 00SC1197 Most famous French GT French title Launched in March 1970 and based on the DS platform, the SM had the misfortune to be born in a difficult period for large cars. Developed in part with Maserati, the SM was particularly ahead of its time with a remarkable design and hydropneumatic suspension dear to the herringbone firm. Although we can think that its engine comes directly from the V8 of the Maserati Indy which would have been amputated of two cylinders. However, it turns out that the engine of the serial SM was developed from a blank sheet. With 6 cylinders placed in V, the engine of the SM developed 170 horses at 5500 revolutions per minute from 1970 to 1972 versions equipped with carburettors. The 1973 version, on the other hand, features a Bosch D-Jetronic electronic fuel injection boosting its power output to 178 horsepower while increasing torque and reducing Citroën's consumption. Equipped with four disc brakes with hydraulic control and assistance, Diravi power steering, directional floodlights, all offering a CX of only 0.339, the SM had it all! Unfortunately, the oil crisis and the concerns of reliability encountered by the SM ended its career in 1975 after 12 920 copies of manufactured. The SM that we offer today for sale is an injection version which, although registered in 1972 is part of the 1973 series. His Robert Opron's body is in a state of perfection and is a very beautiful brown metallic. The interior is adorned with brown leather and proves to be in excellent condition! Although it starts and rises, this SM, which displays nearly 100,000 kilometers, would need a little overhaul before it can roll again. In an elegant configuration, this Citroën represents the opportunity to acquire what still seems today to be the only project of a true French and high-end GT of the post-war period.
