Mon rêve le plus absolu : sa Majesté la SM ❤️

What a carriage. The manner she stops then kicks up her bottom as soon as the reverse gear is engaged is thing to behold.

One of the coolest 70scars ever.

This film brought the SM to so many people. It was worth the loss of one.

Prendi il confort Citroen, aggiungi un motore 8V Maserati poi toglieteli 2 cilindri, una silhouette da GT et voila' la SM! Chapeau!😊🐎🐎🐎

Very, very true. And it is demonstrated by the stunt driver - not Burt Reynolds - at the wheel. The name of the car on the front license plate is well featured. I wonder how much Citroen North America paid to place the SM in this film. It is obviously a product placement.

I remember an early-70s American TV series that may have lasted five episodes, set in the future, and the protagonist drove a Citroen-Maserati SM. Then there was the Columbo episode where Columbo was scrounging change to gas up his "It's a French car" Peugeot and the murderer, driving a "Mine is French, too" SM, offers to help out with a few bucks

It's not uncommon for cars to be "sacrificed" in a chase. It just feels worse because SMs are so rare. No doubt there was some product placement going on, and the SM's unique capabilities got a real workout with a stunt driver at the helm!

At least 20 years ahead of it´s time in 1970. Even by today´s standards not an oldfashioned car... comfort, roadholding, steering still better than in many of today´s cars. Masses of character, lovely engine which is reliable if you treat it with respect (as any sophisticated engine!!!); It had an automatic aircondition, rainsensor wipers (in 1970!!!), bonded front and rear screen as well as hydraulicly operated swivelling headlights (mecanical on the DS). The headlights had over 2000 Lumen in 1970!!! And everything is selflevelling! So what did Volkswagen produce back in 1970??? The Beetle = Hitlers revenge!!! Rubbish on wheels! And the world famous widow makers 411 and 412 (unrepairable rubbish with unaccessible engine bay)... the worst constuctions in automobile history ever! Uninspired and the meaning of innovation never ever heard of before... Just as today....
