Citroën Tells Success Story
Citroën has announced details of the ‘Citroën Story’ Festival 2010, which will be held at the Zolder race circuit in Belgium this weekend, on 24th & 25th of April.
Over 1,000 Citroën vehicles are expected to attend - including 40 SM and 40 GS - to celebrate the 40th anniversary of two models that have influenced and shaped the history of Citroën.
The beautifully sleek SM combined high performance handling with luxury, quality and comfort. This technologically advanced model distinguished itself from contemporaries by its ability to travel at high speeds over long distances - without the driver or passengers showing signs of fatigue.
The GS, named ‘European Car of the Year’ in 1971, was one of the most advanced cars in its class at the time and a leader for comfort and safety.
The car’s hydraulic suspension was particularly praised for delivering a smooth ride experience. A major international success, the model sold almost 1.9 million examples worldwide.
Called the ‘Event of the Year’ by the Amicale Citroën Internationale Club, a parade around the Zolder circuit will also feature famous sporting Citroën models including a 1972 rally version of the DS, the 1973 Bandama Rally SM, a 1993 ZX Rallye Raid and the 2003 Xsara WRC.
Citroën’s modern day ‘Créative Technologie’ will also be showcased, with the recently launched DS3 available for test drives.
