Destined to take up the legacy of the DS, the Citroën CX represented a successful synthesis between originality and mechanical refinement. For the technical part, the CX owed a lot not only to the DS but also to the SM Maserati coupe. GS, on the other hand, was inspired by style in general. The result was a high-class car which, in production since 1974, was Citroën's workhorse. Produced in over 1 million specimens until 1991, the CX had engines from 2000 to 2500cc. It was also the last Citroën of the Michelin era before the wedding with Peugeot.
