Heavy Metal Affliction 1969 Citroen DS 21 Pallas

gota love Citroen for trying and (mostly, outside the US anyway) succeeding at standing apart, with style - a survey by Classic & Sports Car magazine of a panel of car designers picked the Citroen DS “most beautiful car” Ever. You want to know how to ruin a DS? - Turn it into Captain Kirk’s (and/or Cat Woman’s) Hot Rod [LINK]

Great read as always John man that car really is an icon in France.
I also like those wheels.
And because Horizon 2 is in France it would be great if this car is added.

Very nice article.
I see some innovative features in the appearance. The unusual design of the body, but successfully combines straight and curved lines. Very low landing, a huge area of glazing, large front and rear overhangs, sleek tail, closing the wheel. Also known for its hydropneumatic self-levelling suspension, and advanced achievable standards in automobile ride quality, handling, and braking. With front power disc brakes and directional headlamps, this helps achieve sharp handling combined with very high ride quality. And it features an automatic headlight levelling system to offset dynamic variations in attitude.
I think this was the exotic car for an entire generation.

hi John
it’s always a pleasure to see Citroën lovers and even
more when it is a DS!
I am french was born in the early 70’s I had several times
lucky to housed aboard a DS.
too young to drive but
the eyes of a child it was like mounted
aboard a spaceship !!
( my father did not own … but it had a Renault 10 Gordini;) )
although I’m not a fan of wheels hypnotic
it will remain legendary.
John thank you for returning to my childhood
I hope to see one day on our roads
Forza :wink:

the citroen looks groovy inside, and out, love the colour and wheels,

Great car!

Great car indeed!

Innovative features, like the directionnal headlamps, hydraulic gear selector, hydraulic suspension, and other things I don’t really understand, are… innovative.

Now john, a few months ago, I lost my game saves on ALL MY GAMES, so that means I lost my unicorns on Forza. God that sucks! I had all the unicorns on Forza, some of them four times! I would like to get them back as I miss them. I don’t play much Xbox, but when I do, I play Forza, and when I play Forza, I use Unicorns :slight_smile:

The spedometer doubles as a braking distance meter?! Thats awesome! I would love to own one of these cars, the design is so unique nothing else like it on the street.

I have never seen one of these cars before. I never even knew it existed. Which is quite surprising after seeing how many innovative features it has. It has so many cool little features that I couldn’t possibly pick a favorite. I’m not surprised that it attracted a bit of attention at StanceWars though. I know stance guys love that kind of suspension. I think I can now add the Citroen DS to the list of awesome cars I will never own. Also Siebe’s mustache game is on point.
