The '''Citroën SM''' was a high performance coupé produced by the French manufacturer [[Citroën]] between 1970 and 1975. It was the first GT car from the company with high performance, comfort and safety, all in a Front-Wheel drive package. The SM placed third in the 1971 [[European Car of the Year]] contest, trailing its stablemate [[Citroën GS]], and won the 1972 [[Motor Trend Car of the Year]] award in the US in 1972.<br />
<br />
===Styles and Major Options===<br />
The Citroen SM was only produced in one body style: Two doors, Fastback body and Left-Hand drive. Still, there are some different styles:<br />
*Coachbuilder [[Henri Chapron]] produced 7 SM convertibles and 8 sedans. These are named Mylord and Opera respectively.<br />
**[[Henri Chapron]] also modified 2 SM to be 4-Door convertibles. These were used by French presidents for parades.<br />
*Heuliez made 2 SM Targa-Top dubbed Espace.<br />
*Some SM were converted to Right-Hand drive in the UK and recently in Australia.<br />
<br />
The standard wheels are made out of steel with stainless trims, but a factory option was available for lightweight wheels made of composites. These wheels weight is less than half the standard weight and are possibly a unique application of composites on a production vehicle.<br />
<br />
An unusual option available was a set of luggage designed to fit perfectly into the SM's boot.<br />

===Engine and Transmission===<br />
The engine, dubbed "C114-1" was a Maserati derived 2.7L V6 developing 170 BHP. In 1971, it entered into production a new variant of the car featuring the same V6 but now with 2965cc of capacity and developing 180 BHP. It was dubbed "C114-11". These engines used Weber 42 DCNF carburettors and could be fitted with either a 5-Speed manual or a 3-Speed Borg Warner automatic gearbox. In 1973, the 2.7L V6 was fitted with Bosch D-Jetronic fuel injection, increasing the power to 178 BHP. This new engine was dubbed "C114-03". In 1974 till the end of production, the 5-Speed manual became unavailable for the 3.0L, leaving the automatic as the only gearbox for that model.<br />
<br />
===Performance===<br />
*Top Speed: 137 MPH.<br />
*0-60 MPH: 8.9 Sec.<br />
<br />
===Reliability===<br />
Warranty options and scheduled maintainence information should be mentioned here. <br />
<br />
===Safety===<br />
The wiper mechanism is 'sensitive' to rain and the windscreen featured De-Frosting capabilities.<br />
<br />
The braking system, adapted from the DS, employs disk brakes at all four corners (the DS has drums at the rear), with the front brakes being inboard, and cooled via large ducts on the front underside of the car. The front/rear balance of the brakes is self-adjusted hydraulically according to the weight in the rear of the car.<br />
<br />
The car featured 3-Point seat belts on all four seats and the steering column is adjustable in both height and reach.<br />
<br />
It had 6 front lights (3 on each side), all of which featured iodine lamps and automatic attitude-correction devices [http://wikicars.org/wiki/en/index.php?title=Citro%C3%ABn_SM&action=submit#Unique_Attributes (See Unique Attributes).]<br />

==Unique Attributes==<br />
The SM combines many unusual and innovative features, some of which are only just becoming commonplace on cars of today. It borrows heavily from the innovations introduced on the DS, by including hydro-pneumatic, self-leveling suspension and self-leveling lights that swiveled with the steering (Except in the USA, where these were illegal at the time).<br />
<br />
The steering used a brand new system called "DIRAVI". Thanks to this, the steering is self-centering and fully-powered. This feature allows the front wheels to run near-zero caster, and means that there is no camber change as lock is applied, and also ensures that the maximum amount of tyre area is in contact with the road at all times. The system also adjusts the hydraulic pressure on the steering centering cam according to vehicle speed so that the amount of steering feel remained almost constant at any speed, counteracting the tendency of manual and ordinary power assisted steering to feel light at high speed. Thus the car turns easily at low speed, emphasized by high gearing given two turns lock-lock, and relatively more effort is required at higher speed. Many contemporary reviewers remarked that this system would take at least 50 miles (80 km) of driving to become familiar, but once the driver is accustomed to the system traditional steering feels old-fashioned.<br />
<br />
The car was also well known for having a remarkable stopping distance thanks to the hydraulically assisted discs on all wheels.<br />

<br />
==Worldwide==<br />
The car was sold in the US but it had to be fitted with different headlights as the ones used by the standard model were illegal in that time. The car left the US market quite soon as it could not compile with the bumpers safety requirements because of the hydropneumatic suspension used in the car.<br />
<br />
The SM also suffered from poor sales in the UK, probably because it was only available in Left-Hand drive.<br />
<br />
==Design quirks and oddities==<br />
*Jay Leno has a stock 1972 Citroën SM in his classic car collection.<br />
*Ben Stiller is kidnapped in a SM in the movie Zoolander.<br />
*Janet Jackson appears in an SM in the video of her hit song ''"I Get Lonely"''.<br />

==Criticisms==<br />
Please make sure to '''''keep critiques in a third-person point of view'''''. If using criticisms from a reputable automotive source, then '''''please make sure to cite the quote'''''.<br />
<br />
==Worldwide==<br />
The car was sold in the US but it had to be fitted with different headlights as the ones used by the standard model were illegal in that time. The car left the US market quite soon as it could not compile with the bumpers safety requirements because of the hydropneumatic suspension used in the car.<br />
<br />
The SM also suffered from poor sales in the UK, probably because it was only available in Left-Hand drive.<br />
<br />
==Design quirks and oddities==<br />
*Jay Leno has a stock 1972 Citroën SM in his classic car collection.<br />
*Ben Stiller is kidnapped in a SM in the movie Zoolander.<br />
*Janet Jackson appears in an SM in the video of her hit song ''"I Get Lonely"''.<br />

==Criticisms==<br />
The brakes, while servo assisted, are "barely" assisted and with no ABS, its very easy to lock the wheels.<br />
Also according to motoring journalist John Barker, the door mirrors get in the way if you try to look if anything is coming. He says, "The driver’s door mirror gets in the way looking into right-hand turns".<br />
It has very limited availability due to the fact that only 50 are made every year.<br />

The M600 engine uses a 4439 cc 60-degree Yamaha derived Volvo "B8444S" V8 engine which is also used in the [[Volvo XC90]] but with twin Garrett turbochargers equipped with Variable Boost. This allows the user to choose from 450 BHP (Road setting, 0.6 bar pressure), 550 BHP (Track setting, 0.8 bar)and 650 BHP (Race setting, 1.0 bar) through the use of a switch in the interior. The engine also features Electronic Fuel Injection and has a compression ratio of 9.50:1. It uses a Oerlikon Graziano transaxle six-speed Twin Clutch manual gearbox and a RPM redline at 7000.<br />

==Criticisms==<br />
The brakes, while servo assisted, are "barely" assisted and with no ABS, its very easy to lock the wheels.<br />
Also according to motoring journalist John Barker, the door mirrors get in the way if you try to look if anything is coming. He says, "The driver’s door mirror gets in the way looking into right-hand turns".<br />
It has very limited availability due to the fact that only 50 are made every year.<br />

The '''Citroën SM''' was a high performance coupé produced by the French manufacturer [[Citroën]] between 1970 and 1975. It was the first GT car from the company with high performance, comfort and safety, all in a Front-Wheel drive package. The SM placed third in the 1971 [[European Car of the Year]] contest, trailing its stablemate [[Citroën GS]], and won the 1972 [[Motor Trend Car of the Year]] award in the US in 1972.<br />
<br />
===Styles and Major Options===<br />
The Citroen SM was only produced in one body style: Two doors, Fastback body and Left-Hand drive. Still, there are some different styles:<br />
*Coachbuilder [[Henri Chapron]] produced 7 SM convertibles and 8 sedans. These are named Mylord and Opera respectively.<br />
**[[Henri Chapron]] also modified 2 SM to be 4-Door convertibles. These were used by French presidents for parades.<br />
*Heuliez made 2 SM Targa-Top dubbed Espace.<br />
*Some SM were converted to Right-Hand drive in the UK and recently in Australia.<br />
<br />
The standard wheels are made out of steel with stainless trims, but a factory option was available for lightweight wheels made of composites. These wheels weight is less than half the standard weight and are possibly a unique application of composites on a production vehicle.<br />
<br />
An unusual option available was a set of luggage designed to fit perfectly into the SM's boot.<br />

===Engine and Transmission===<br />
The engine, dubbed "C114-1" was a Maserati derived 2.7L V6 developing 170 BHP. In 1971, it entered into production a new variant of the car featuring the same V6 but now with 2965cc of capacity and developing 180 BHP. It was dubbed "C114-11". These engines used Weber 42 DCNF carburettors and could be fitted with either a 5-Speed manual or a 3-Speed Borg Warner automatic gearbox. In 1973, the 2.7L V6 was fitted with Bosch D-Jetronic fuel injection, increasing the power to 178 BHP. This new engine was dubbed "C114-03". In 1974 till the end of production, the 5-Speed manual became unavailable for the 3.0L, leaving the automatic as the only gearbox for that model.<br />

<br />
===Safety===<br />
The wiper mechanism is 'sensitive' to rain and the windscreen featured De-Frosting capabilities.<br />
<br />
The braking system, adapted from the DS, employs disk brakes at all four corners (the DS has drums at the rear), with the front brakes being inboard, and cooled via large ducts on the front underside of the car. The front/rear balance of the brakes is self-adjusted hydraulically according to the weight in the rear of the car.<br />
<br />
The car featured 3-Point seat belts on all four seats and the steering column is adjustable in both height and reach.<br />
<br />
It had 6 front lights (3 on each side), all of which featured iodine lamps and automatic attitude-correction devices [http://wikicars.org/wiki/en/index.php?title=Citro%C3%ABn_SM&action=submit#Unique_Attributes (See Unique Attributes).]<br />

==Unique Attributes==<br />
The SM combines many unusual and innovative features, some of which are only just becoming commonplace on cars of today. It borrows heavily from the innovations introduced on the DS, by including hydro-pneumatic self-leveling suspension, and self-leveling lights that swiveled with the steering (Except in the USA, where these were illegal at the time).<br />
<br />
The steering is self-centering and fully-powered (as opposed to hydraulically assisted). This feature allows the front wheels to run near-zero caster, and means that there is no camber change as lock is applied, and also ensures that the maximum amount of tyre area is in contact with the road at all times. The system also adjusts the hydraulic pressure on the steering centering cam according to vehicle speed so that the amount of steering feel remained almost constant at any speed, counteracting the tendency of manual and ordinary power assisted steering to feel light at high speed. Thus the car turns easily at low speed, emphasized by high gearing given two turns lock-lock, and relatively more effort is required at higher speed. Many contemporary reviewers remarked that this system would take at least 50 miles (80 km) of driving to become familiar, but once the driver is accustomed to the system traditional steering feels old-fashioned[3].<br />

<br />
==Worldwide==<br />
The car was sold in the US but it had to be fitted with different headlights as the ones used by the standard model were illegal in that time. The car left the US market quite soon as it could not compile with the bumpers safety requirements because of the hydropneumatic suspension used in the car.<br />
<br />
The SM also suffered from poor sales in the UK, probably because it was only available in Left-Hand drive.<br />
<br />
==Design quirks and oddities==<br />
*Jay Leno has a stock 1972 Citroën SM in his classic car collection.<br />
*Ben Stiller is kidnapped in a SM in the movie Zoolander.<br />

In 1971, it entered into production a new variant of the car featuring the same V6 but now with 2965cc of capacity and developing 180 BHP. It was dubbed "C114-11". These engines used Weber 42 DCNF carburettors and could be fitted with either a 5-Speed manual or a 3-Speed Borg Warner automatic gearbox. In 1973, the 2.7L V6 was fitted with Bosch D-Jetronic fuel injection, increasing the power to 178 BHP. This new engine was dubbed "C114-03". In 1974 till the end of production, the 5-Speed manual became unavailable for the 3.0L, leaving the automatic as the only gearbox for that model.<br />

The front/rear balance of the brakes is self-adjusted hydraulically according to the weight in the rear of the car.<br />
<br />
The car featured 3-Point seat belts on all four seats and the steering column is adjustable in both height and reach.<br />
<br />
It had 6 front lights (3 on each side), all of which featured iodine lamps and automatic attitude-correction devices [http://wikicars.org/wiki/en/index.php?title=Citro%C3%ABn_SM&action=submit#Unique_Attributes (See Unique Attributes).]<br />

The '''Citroën SM''' was a high performance coupé produced by the French manufacturer [[Citroën]] between 1970 and 1975. It was the first GT car from the company with high performance, comfort and safety, all in a Front-Wheel drive package. The SM placed third in the 1971 [[European Car of the Year]] contest, trailing its stablemate [[Citroën GS]], and won the 1972 [[Motor Trend Car of the Year]] award in the US in 1972.<br />
<br />
===Styles and Major Options===<br />
The Citroen SM was only produced in one body style: Two doors, Fastback body and Left-Hand drive. Still, there are some different styles:<br />
*Coachbuilder [[Henri Chapron]] produced 7 SM convertibles and 8 sedans. These are named Mylord and Opera respectively.<br />
**[[Henri Chapron]] also modified 2 SM to be 4-Door convertibles. These were used by French presidents for parades.<br />
*Heuliez made 2 SM Targa-Top dubbed Espace.<br />
*Some SM were converted to Right-Hand drive in the UK and recently in Australia.<br />
<br />
The standard wheels are made out of steel with stainless trims, but a factory option was available for lightweight wheels made of composites. These wheels weight is less than half the standard weight and are possibly a unique application of composites on a production vehicle.<br />
<br />
A quite strange option was a set of luggage designed to fit perfectly on the SM's boot.<br />

===Engine and Transmission===<br />
The engine, dubbed "C114-1" was a Maserati derived 2.7L V6 developing 170 BHP. In 1971, it entered into production a new variant of the car featuring the same V6 but now with 2965cc of capacity and developing 180 BHP. It was dubbed "C114-11". These engines used Weber 42 DCNF carburettors and could be fitted with either a 5-Speed manual or a 3-Speed Borg Warner automatic gearbox. In 1973, the 2.7L V6 was fitted with Bosch D-Jetronic fuel injection, increasing the power to 178 BHP. This new engine was dubbed "C114-03". In 1974 till the end of production, the 5-Speed manual became unavailable for the 3.0L, leaving the automatic as the only gearbox for that model.<br />
<br />
===Performance===<br />
*Top Speed: 137 MPH.<br />
*0-60 MPH: 8.9 Sec.<br />
<br />
===Reliability===<br />
Warranty options and scheduled maintainence information should be mentioned here. <br />
<br />
===Safety===<br />
The wiper mechanism is 'sensitive' to rain and the windscreen featured De-Frosting capabilities.<br />
<br />
The braking system, adapted from the DS, employs disk brakes at all four corners (the DS has drums at the rear), with the front brakes being inboard, and cooled via large ducts on the front underside of the car. The front/rear balance of the brakes is self-adjusted hydraulically according to the weight in the rear of the car.<br />
<br />
The car featured 3-Point seat belts on all four seats and the steering column is adjustable in both height and reach.<br />
<br />
It had 6 front lights (3 on each side), all of which featured iodine lamps and automatic attitude-correction devices (See Unique Attributes).<br />

==Unique Attributes==<br />
The SM combines many unusual and innovative features, some of which are only just becoming commonplace on cars of today. It borrows heavily from the innovations introduced on the DS, by including hydro-pneumatic self-leveling suspension, and self-leveling lights that swiveled with the steering (Except in the USA, where these were illegal at the time).<br />
<br />
The steering is self-centering and fully-powered (as opposed to hydraulically assisted). This feature allows the front wheels to run near-zero caster, and means that there is no camber change as lock is applied, and also ensures that the maximum amount of tyre area is in contact with the road at all times. The system also adjusts the hydraulic pressure on the steering centering cam according to vehicle speed so that the amount of steering feel remained almost constant at any speed, counteracting the tendency of manual and ordinary power assisted steering to feel light at high speed. Thus the car turns easily at low speed, emphasized by high gearing given two turns lock-lock, and relatively more effort is required at higher speed. Many contemporary reviewers remarked that this system would take at least 50 miles (80 km) of driving to become familiar, but once the driver is accustomed to the system traditional steering feels old-fashioned[3].<br />

The engine, dubbed "C114-1" was a Maserati derived 2.7L V6 developing 170 BHP. In 1971, it entered into production a new variant of the car featuring the same V6 but now with 2965cc of capacity and developing 180 BHP. It was dubbed "C114-11". These engines used Weber 42 DCNF carburettors and could be fitted with either a 5-Speed manual or a 3-Speed Borg Warner automatic gearbox. In 1973, the 2.7L V6 was fitted with Bosch D-Jetronic fuel injection, increasing the power to 178 BHP. This new engine was dubbed "C114-03". In 1974 till the end of production, the 5-Speed manual became unavailable for the 3.0L, leaving the automatic as the only gearbox for that model.<br />

The SM combines many unusual and innovative features, some of which are only just becoming commonplace on cars of today. It borrows heavily from the innovations introduced on the DS, by including hydro-pneumatic self-leveling suspension, and self-leveling lights that swiveled with the steering (Except in the USA, where these were illegal at the time).<br />
<br />
The steering is self-centering and fully-powered (as opposed to hydraulically assisted). This feature allows the front wheels to run near-zero caster, and means that there is no camber change as lock is applied, and also ensures that the maximum amount of tyre area is in contact with the road at all times. The system also adjusts the hydraulic pressure on the steering centering cam according to vehicle speed so that the amount of steering feel remained almost constant at any speed, counteracting the tendency of manual and ordinary power assisted steering to feel light at high speed. Thus the car turns easily at low speed, emphasized by high gearing given two turns lock-lock, and relatively more effort is required at higher speed. Many contemporary reviewers remarked that this system would take at least 50 miles (80 km) of driving to become familiar, but once the driver is accustomed to the system traditional steering feels old-fashioned[3].<br />
<br />
Standard wheels are steel with stainless trims, but a factory option was available for lightweight wheels made of composites. These wheels weigh less than half the standard weight and are possibly a unique application of composites on a production vehicle.<br />

The '''Citroën SM''' was a high performance coupé produced by the French manufacturer [[Citroën]] between 1970 and 1975. It was the first GT car from the company with high performance, comfort and safety, all in a Front-Wheel drive package. The SM placed third in the 1971 [[European Car of the Year]] contest, trailing its stablemate [[Citroën GS]], and won the 1972 [[Motor Trend Car of the Year]] award in the US in 1972.<br />
<br />
===Styles and Major Options===<br />
The Citroen SM was only produced in one body style: Two doors, Fastback body and Left-Hand drive. Still, there are some different styles:<br />
*Coachbuilder [[Henri Chapron]] produced 7 SM convertibles and 8 sedans. These are named Mylord and Opera respectively.<br />
**[[Henri Chapron]] also modified 2 SM to be 4-Door convertibles. These were used by French presidents for parades.<br />
*Heuliez made 2 SM Targa-Top dubbed Espace.<br />
*Some SM were converted to Right-Hand drive in the UK and recently in Australia.<br />

In 1971, it entered into production a new variant of the car featuring the same V6 but now with 2965cc of capacity and developing 180 BHP. It was dubbed "C114-11". These engines used Weber 42 DCNF carburettors and could be fitted with either a 5-Speed manual or a 3-Speed Borg Warner automatic gearbox. In 1973, the 2.7L V6 was fitted with Bosch D-Jetronic fuel injection, increasing the power to 178 BHP. This new engine was dubbed "C114-03". In 1974 till the end of production, the 5-Speed manual became unavailable for the 3.0L, leaving the automatic as the only gearbox for that model.<br />

Warranty options and scheduled maintainence information should be mentioned here. <br />
<br />
===Safety===<br />
The wiper mechanism is 'sensitive' to rain and the windscreen featured De-Frosting capabilities.<br />
<br />
The braking system, adapted from the DS, employs disk brakes at all four corners (the DS has drums at the rear), with the front brakes being inboard, and cooled via large ducts on the front underside of the car. The front/rear balance of the brakes is self-adjusted hydraulically according to the weight in the rear of the car.<br />

===Engine and Transmission===<br />
The engine, dubbed "C114-1" was a Maserati derived 2.7L V6 developing 170 BHP. In 1971, it entered into production a new variant of the car featuring the same V6 but now with 2965cc of capacity and developing 180 BHP. It was dubbed "C114-11". These engines used Weber 42 DCNF carburettors and could be fitted with either a 5-Speed manual or a 3-Speed Borg Warner automatic gearbox. In 1973, the 2.7L V6 was fitted with Bosch D-Jetronic fuel injection, increasing the power to 178 BHP. This new engine was dubbed "C114-03". In 1974 till the end of production, the 5-Speed manual became unavailable for the 3.0L, leaving the automatic as the only gearbox for that model.<br />
<br />
===Performance===<br />
*Top Speed: 137 MPH.<br />
*0-60 MPH: 8.9 Sec.<br />
<br />
===Reliability===<br />
Warranty options and scheduled maintainence information should be mentioned here. <br />
<br />
===Safety===<br />
The wiper mechanism is 'sensitive' to rain and the windscreen featured De-Frosting capabilities.<br />
<br />
The braking system, adapted from the DS, employs disk brakes at all four corners (the DS has drums at the rear), with the front brakes being inboard, and cooled via large ducts on the front underside of the car. The front/rear balance of the brakes is self-adjusted hydraulically according to the weight in the rear of the car.<br />
<br />
The car featured 3-Point seat belts on all four seats and the steering column is adjustable in both height and reach.<br />
<br />
It had 6 front lights (3 on each side), all of which featured iodine lamps and automatic attitude-correction devices (See Unique Attributes).<br />

==Unique Attributes==<br />
The SM combines many unusual and innovative features, some of which are only just becoming commonplace on cars of today. It borrows heavily from the innovations introduced on the DS, by including hydro-pneumatic self-leveling suspension, and self-leveling lights that swiveled with the steering (Except in the USA, where these were illegal at the time).<br />
<br />
The steering is self-centering and fully-powered (as opposed to hydraulically assisted). This feature allows the front wheels to run near-zero caster, and means that there is no camber change as lock is applied, and also ensures that the maximum amount of tyre area is in contact with the road at all times. The system also adjusts the hydraulic pressure on the steering centering cam according to vehicle speed so that the amount of steering feel remained almost constant at any speed, counteracting the tendency of manual and ordinary power assisted steering to feel light at high speed. Thus the car turns easily at low speed, emphasized by high gearing given two turns lock-lock, and relatively more effort is required at higher speed. Many contemporary reviewers remarked that this system would take at least 50 miles (80 km) of driving to become familiar, but once the driver is accustomed to the system traditional steering feels old-fashioned[3].<br />
<br />
Standard wheels are steel with stainless trims, but a factory option was available for lightweight wheels made of composites. These wheels weigh less than half the standard weight and are possibly a unique application of composites on a production vehicle.<br />

The car left the US market quite soon as it could not compile with the bumpers safety requirements because of the hydropneumatic suspension used in the car.<br />

The '''Citroën SM''' was a high performance coupé produced by the French manufacturer [[Citroën]] between 1970 and 1975. It was the first GT car from the company with high performance, comfort and safety, all in a Front-Wheel drive package. The SM placed third in the 1971 [[European Car of the Year]] contest, trailing its stablemate [[Citroën GS]], and won the 1972 [[Motor Trend Car of the Year]] award in the US in 1972.<br />
<br />
===Styles and Major Options===<br />
The Citroen SM was only produced in one body style: Two doors, Fastback body and Left-Hand drive. Still, there are some different styles:<br />
*Coachbuilder [[Henri Chapron]] produced 7 SM convertibles and 8 sedans. These are named Mylord and Opera respectively.<br />
**[[Henri Chapron]] also modified 2 SM to be 4-Door convertibles. These were used by French presidents for parades.<br />
*Heuliez made 2 SM Targa-Top dubbed Espace.<br />
*Some SM were converted to Right-Hand drive in the UK and recently in Australia.<br />

===Engine and Transmission===<br />
The engine, dubbed "C114-1" was a Maserati derived 2.7L V6 developing 170 BHP. In 1971, it entered into production a new variant of the car featuring the same V6 but now with 2965cc of capacity and developing 180 BHP. It was dubbed "C114-11". These engines used Weber 42 DCNF carburettors and could be fitted with either a 5-Speed manual or a 3-Speed Borg Warner automatic gearbox. In 1973, the 2.7L V6 was fitted with Bosch D-Jetronic fuel injection, increasing the power to 178 BHP. This new engine was dubbed "C114-03". In 1974 till the end of production, the 5-Speed manual became unavailable for the 3.0L, leaving the automatic as the only gearbox for that model.<br />
<br />
===Performance===<br />
*Top Speed: 137 MPH.<br />
*0-60 MPH: 8.9 Sec.<br />
<br />
===Reliability===<br />
Warranty options and scheduled maintainence information should be mentioned here. <br />
<br />
===Safety===<br />
The wiper mechanism is 'sensitive' to rain and the windscreen featured De-Frosting capabilities.<br />
<br />
The braking system, adapted from the DS, employs disk brakes at all four corners (the DS has drums at the rear), with the front brakes being inboard, and cooled via large ducts on the front underside of the car. The front/rear balance of the brakes is self-adjusted hydraulically according to the weight in the rear of the car.<br />
<br />
The car featured 3-Point seat belts on all four seats and the steering column is adjustable in both height and reach.<br />
<br />
It had 6 front lights (3 on each side), all of which featured iodine lamps and automatic attitude-correction devices (See Unique Attributes).<br />

==Unique Attributes==<br />
The SM combines many unusual and innovative features, some of which are only just becoming commonplace on cars of today. It borrows heavily from the innovations introduced on the DS, by including hydro-pneumatic self-leveling suspension, and self-leveling lights that swiveled with the steering (Except in the USA, where these were illegal at the time).<br />
<br />
The steering is self-centering and fully-powered (as opposed to hydraulically assisted). This feature allows the front wheels to run near-zero caster, and means that there is no camber change as lock is applied, and also ensures that the maximum amount of tyre area is in contact with the road at all times. The system also adjusts the hydraulic pressure on the steering centering cam according to vehicle speed so that the amount of steering feel remained almost constant at any speed, counteracting the tendency of manual and ordinary power assisted steering to feel light at high speed. Thus the car turns easily at low speed, emphasized by high gearing given two turns lock-lock, and relatively more effort is required at higher speed. Many contemporary reviewers remarked that this system would take at least 50 miles (80 km) of driving to become familiar, but once the driver is accustomed to the system traditional steering feels old-fashioned[3].<br />
<br />
Standard wheels are steel with stainless trims, but a factory option was available for lightweight wheels made of composites. These wheels weigh less than half the standard weight and are possibly a unique application of composites on a production vehicle.<br />

The Citroën SM was a high performance coupé produced by the French manufacturer Citroën between 1970 and 1975. It was the first GT car from the company with high performance, comfort and safety, all in a Front-Wheel drive package. The SM placed third in the 1971 European Car of the Year contest, trailing its stablemate Citroën GS, and won the 1972 Motor Trend Car of the Year award in the US in 1972.<br />
===Styles and Major Options===<br />
The Citroen SM was only produced in one body style: Two doors, Fastback body and Left-Hand drive. Still, there are some different styles:<br />
*Coachbuilder Henri Chapron produced 7 SM convertibles and 8 sedans. These are named Mylord and Opera respectevly.<br />
**Henri Chapron also modified 2 SM to be 4-Door convertibles. These were used by French presidents for parades.<br />
*Heuliez made 2 SM Targa-Top dubbed Espace.<br />
*Some SM were converted to Right-Hand drive in the UK and also in Australia.<br />

===Engine and Transmission===<br />
The engine, dubbed "C114-1" was a Maserati derived 2.7L V6 developing 170 BHP. In 1971, it entered into production a new variant of the car featuring the same V6 but now with 2965cc of capacity and developing 180 BHP. It was dubbed "C114-11". These engines used Weber 42 DCNF carburettors and could be fitted with either a 5-Speed manual or a 3-Speed Borg Warner automatic gearbox. In 1973, the 2.7L V6 was fitted with Bosch D-Jetronic fuel injection, increasing the power to 178 BHP. This new engine was dubbed "C114-03". In 1974 till the end of production, the 5-Speed manual became unavailable for the 3.0L, leaving the automatic as the only gearbox for that model.<br />

<br />
===Safety===<br />
The wiper mechanism is 'sensitive' to rain and the windscreen featured De-Frosting capabilities.<br />
<br />
The braking system, adapted from the DS, employs disk brakes at all four corners (the DS has drums at the rear), with the front brakes being inboard, and cooled via large ducts on the front underside of the car. The front/rear balance of the brakes is self-adjusted hydraulically according to the weight in the rear of the car.<br />
<br />
The car featured 3-Point seat belts on all four seats and the steering column is adjustable in both height and reach.<br />
<br />
It had 6 front lights (3 on each side), all of which featured iodine lamps and automatic attitude-correction devices (See Unique Attributes).<br />

==Unique Attributes==<br />
The SM combines many unusual and innovative features, some of which are only just becoming commonplace on cars of today. It borrows heavily from the innovations introduced on the DS, by including hydro-pneumatic self-leveling suspension, and self-leveling lights that swiveled with the steering (Except in the USA, where these were illegal at the time).<br />
<br />
The steering is self-centering and fully-powered (as opposed to hydraulically assisted). This feature allows the front wheels to run near-zero caster, and means that there is no camber change as lock is applied, and also ensures that the maximum amount of tyre area is in contact with the road at all times. The system also adjusts the hydraulic pressure on the steering centering cam according to vehicle speed so that the amount of steering feel remained almost constant at any speed, counteracting the tendency of manual and ordinary power assisted steering to feel light at high speed. Thus the car turns easily at low speed, emphasized by high gearing given two turns lock-lock, and relatively more effort is required at higher speed. Many contemporary reviewers remarked that this system would take at least 50 miles (80 km) of driving to become familiar, but once the driver is accustomed to the system traditional steering feels old-fashioned[3].<br />
<br />
Standard wheels are steel with stainless trims, but a factory option was available for lightweight wheels made of composites. These wheels weigh less than half the standard weight and are possibly a unique application of composites on a production vehicle.<br />

The car was sold in the US but it had to be fitted with different headlights as the ones used by the standard model were illegal in that time. The car left the US market soon as, it could not compile with the bumpers safety requirements because of the hydropneumatic suspension used in the car.<br />

The SM also suffered from poor sales in the UK, mainly due to the fact that it was only available in Left-Hand drive.<br />

The Citroën SM was a high performance coupé produced by the French manufacturer Citroën between 1970 and 1975. It was the first GT car from the company with high performance, comfort and safety, all in a Front-Wheel drive package. The SM placed third in the 1971 European Car of the Year contest, trailing its stablemate Citroën GS, and won the 1972 Motor Trend Car of the Year award in the US in 1972.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
===Styles and Major Options===<br />
The Citroen SM was only produced in one body style: Two doors, Fastback body and Left-Hand drive. Still, there are some different styles:<br />
*Coachbuilder Henri Chapron produced 7 SM convertibles and 8 sedans. These are named Mylord and Opera respectevly.<br />
**Henri Chapron also modified 2 SM to be 4-Door convertibles. These were used by French presidents for parades.<br />
*Heuliez made 2 SM Targa-Top dubbed Espace.<br />
*Some SM were converted to Right-Hand drive in the UK and also in Australia.<br />

The Citroën SM was a high performance coupé produced by the French manufacturer Citroën between 1970 and 1975. It was the first GT car from the company with high performance, comfort and safety, all in a Front-Wheel drive package. The SM placed third in the 1971 European Car of the Year contest, trailing its stablemate Citroën GS, and won the 1972 Motor Trend Car of the Year award in the US in 1972.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
===Styles and Major Options===<br />
The Citroen SM was only produced in one body style: Two doors, Fastback body and Left-Hand drive. Still, there are some different styles:<br />
*Coachbuilder Henri Chapron produced 7 SM convertibles and 8 sedans. These are named Mylord and Opera respectevly.<br />
**Henri Chapron also modified 2 SM to be 4-Door convertibles. These were used by French presidents for parades.<br />
*Heuliez made 2 SM Targa-Top dubbed Espace.<br />
*Some SM were converted to Right-Hand drive in the UK and also in Australia.<br />

===Engine and Transmission===<br />
The engine, dubbed "C114-1" was a Maserati derived 2.7L V6 developing 170 BHP. In 1971, it entered into production a new variant of the car featuring the same V6 but now with 2965cc of capacity and developing 180 BHP. It was dubbed "C114-11". These engines used Weber 42 DCNF carburettors and could be fitted with either a 5-Speed manual or a 3-Speed Borg Warner automatic gearbox. In 1973, the 2.7L V6 was fitted with Bosch D-Jetronic fuel injection, increasing the power to 178 BHP. This new engine was dubbed "C114-03". In 1974 till the end of production, the 5-Speed manual became unavailable for the 3.0L, leaving the automatic as the only gearbox for that model.<br />
<br />
===Performance===<br />
*Top Speed: 137 MPH.<br />
*0-60 MPH: 8.9 Sec.<br />
<br />
===Reliability===<br />
Warranty options and scheduled maintainence information should be mentioned here. <br />
<br />
===Safety===<br />
The wiper mechanism is 'sensitive' to rain and the windscreen featured De-Frosting capabilities.<br />
<br />
The braking system, adapted from the DS, employs disk brakes at all four corners (the DS has drums at the rear), with the front brakes being inboard, and cooled via large ducts on the front underside of the car. The front/rear balance of the brakes is self-adjusted hydraulically according to the weight in the rear of the car.<br />
<br />
The car featured 3-Point seat belts on all four seats and the steering column is adjustable in both height and reach.<br />
<br />
It had 6 front lights (3 on each side), all of which featured iodine lamps and automatic attitude-correction devices (See Unique Attributes).<br />

==Unique Attributes==<br />
The SM combines many unusual and innovative features, some of which are only just becoming commonplace on cars of today. It borrows heavily from the innovations introduced on the DS, by including hydro-pneumatic self-leveling suspension, and self-leveling lights that swiveled with the steering (Except in the USA, where these were illegal at the time).<br />
<br />
The steering is self-centering and fully-powered (as opposed to hydraulically assisted). This feature allows the front wheels to run near-zero caster, and means that there is no camber change as lock is applied, and also ensures that the maximum amount of tyre area is in contact with the road at all times. The system also adjusts the hydraulic pressure on the steering centering cam according to vehicle speed so that the amount of steering feel remained almost constant at any speed, counteracting the tendency of manual and ordinary power assisted steering to feel light at high speed. Thus the car turns easily at low speed, emphasized by high gearing given two turns lock-lock, and relatively more effort is required at higher speed. Many contemporary reviewers remarked that this system would take at least 50 miles (80 km) of driving to become familiar, but once the driver is accustomed to the system traditional steering feels old-fashioned[3].<br />
<br />
Standard wheels are steel with stainless trims, but a factory option was available for lightweight wheels made of composites. These wheels weigh less than half the standard weight and are possibly a unique application of composites on a production vehicle.<br />

The Citroën SM was a high performance coupé produced by the French manufacturer Citroën between 1970 and 1975. It was the first GT car from the company with high performance, comfort and safety, all in a Front-Wheel drive package. The SM placed third in the 1971 European Car of the Year contest, trailing its stablemate Citroën GS, and won the 1972 Motor Trend Car of the Year award in the US in 1972.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
===Styles and Major Options===<br />
The Citroen SM was only produced in one body style: Two doors, Fastback body and Left-Hand drive. Still, there are some different styles:<br />
*Coachbuilder Henri Chapron produced 7 SM convertibles and 8 sedans. These are named Mylord and Opera respectevly.<br />
**Henri Chapron also modified 2 SM to be 4-Door convertibles. These were used by French presidents for parades.<br />
*Heuliez made 2 SM Targa-Top dubbed Espace.<br />
*Some SM were converted to Right-Hand drive in the UK and also in Australia.<br />

===Engine and Transmission===<br />
The engine, dubbed "C114-1" was a Maserati derived 2.7L V6 developing 170 BHP. In 1971, it entered into production a new variant of the car featuring the same V6 but now with 2965cc of capacity and developing 180 BHP. It was dubbed "C114-11". These engines used Weber 42 DCNF carburettors and could be fitted with either a 5-Speed manual or a 3-Speed Borg Warner automatic gearbox. In 1973, the 2.7L V6 was fitted with Bosch D-Jetronic fuel injection, increasing the power to 178 BHP. This new engine was dubbed "C114-03". In 1974 till the end of production, the 5-Speed manual became unavailable for the 3.0L, leaving the automatic as the only gearbox for that model.<br />
<br />
===Performance===<br />
*Top Speed: 137 MPH.<br />
*0-60 MPH: 8.9 Sec.<br />
<br />
===Reliability===<br />
Warranty options and scheduled maintainence information should be mentioned here. <br />
<br />
===Safety===<br />
The wiper mechanism is 'sensitive' to rain and the windscreen featured De-Frosting capabilities.<br />
<br />
The braking system, adapted from the DS, employs disk brakes at all four corners (the DS has drums at the rear), with the front brakes being inboard, and cooled via large ducts on the front underside of the car. The front/rear balance of the brakes is self-adjusted hydraulically according to the weight in the rear of the car.<br />
<br />
The car featured 3-Point seat belts on all four seats and the steering column is adjustable in both height and reach.<br />
<br />
It had 6 front lights (3 on each side), all of which feature<br />

==Unique Attributes==<br />
The SM combines many unusual and innovative features, some of which are only just becoming commonplace on cars of today. It borrows heavily from the innovations introduced on the DS, by including hydro-pneumatic self-leveling suspension, and self-leveling lights that swiveled with the steering (Except in the USA, where these were illegal at the time).<br />
<br />
The steering is self-centering and fully-powered (as opposed to hydraulically assisted). This feature allows the front wheels to run near-zero caster, and means that there is no camber change as lock is applied, and also ensures that the maximum amount of tyre area is in contact with the road at all times. The system also adjusts the hydraulic pressure on the steering centering cam according to vehicle speed so that the amount of steering feel remained almost constant at any speed, counteracting the tendency of manual and ordinary power assisted steering to feel light at high speed. Thus the car turns easily at low speed, emphasized by high gearing given two turns lock-lock, and relatively more effort is required at higher speed. Many contemporary reviewers remarked that this system would take at least 50 miles (80 km) of driving to become familiar, but once the driver is accustomed to the system traditional steering feels old-fashioned[3].<br />
<br />
Standard wheels are steel with stainless trims, but a factory option was available for lightweight wheels made of composites. These wheels weigh less than half the standard weight and are possibly a unique application of composites on a production vehicle.<br />

The Citroën SM was a high performance coupé produced by the French manufacturer Citroën between 1970 and 1975. It was the first GT car from the company with high performance, comfort and safety, all in a Front-Wheel drive package. The SM placed third in the 1971 European Car of the Year contest, trailing its stablemate Citroën GS, and won the 1972 Motor Trend Car of the Year award in the US in 1972.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
===Styles and Major Options===<br />
The Citroen SM was only produced in one body style: Two doors, Fastback body and Left-Hand drive. Still, there are some different styles:<br />
*Coachbuilder Henri Chapron produced 7 SM convertibles and 8 sedans. These are named Mylord and Opera respectevly.<br />
**Henri Chapron also modified 2 SM to be 4-Door convertibles. These were used by French presidents for parades.<br />
*Heuliez made 2 SM Targa-Top dubbed Espace.<br />
*Some SM were converted to Right-Hand drive in the UK and also in Australia.<br />

===Engine and Transmission===<br />
The engine, dubbed "C114-1" was a Maserati derived 2.7L V6 developing 170 BHP. In 1971, it entered into production a new variant of the car featuring the same V6 but now with 2965cc of capacity and developing 180 BHP. It was dubbed "C114-11". These engines used Weber 42 DCNF carburettors and could be fitted with either a 5-Speed manual or a 3-Speed Borg Warner automatic gearbox. In 1973, the 2.7L V6 was fitted with Bosch D-Jetronic fuel injection, increasing the power to 178 BHP. This new engine was dubbed "C114-03". In 1974 till the end of production, the 5-Speed manual became unavailable for the 3.0L, leaving the automatic as the only gearbox for that model.<br />
<br />
===Performance===<br />
*Top Speed: 137 MPH.<br />
*0-60 MPH: 8.9 Sec.<br />
<br />
===Reliability===<br />
Warranty options and scheduled maintainence information should be mentioned here. <br />
<br />
===Safety===<br />
The wiper mechanism is 'sensitive' to rain, while the steering column is adjustable in both height and reach.<br />
<br />
The braking system, adapted from the DS, employs disk brakes at all four corners (the DS has drums at the rear), with the front brakes being inboard, and cooled via large ducts on the front underside of the car. The front/rear balance of the brakes is self-adjusted hydraulically according to the weight in the rear of the car.<br />

==Unique Attributes==<br />
The SM combines many unusual and innovative features, some of which are only just becoming commonplace on cars of today. It borrows heavily from the innovations introduced on the DS, by including hydro-pneumatic self-leveling suspension, and self-leveling lights that swiveled with the steering (Except in the USA where these were illegal at the time).<br />
<br />
The steering is self-centering and fully-powered (as opposed to hydraulically assisted). This feature allows the front wheels to run near-zero caster, and means that there is no camber change as lock is applied, and also ensures that the maximum amount of tyre area is in contact with the road at all times. The system also adjusts the hydraulic pressure on the steering centering cam according to vehicle speed so that the amount of steering feel remained almost constant at any speed, counteracting the tendency of manual and ordinary power assisted steering to feel light at high speed. Thus the car turns easily at low speed, emphasized by high gearing given two turns lock-lock, and relatively more effort is required at higher speed. Many contemporary reviewers remarked that this system would take at least 50 miles (80 km) of driving to become familiar, but once the driver is accustomed to the system traditional steering feels old-fashioned[3].<br />
<br />
Standard wheels are steel with stainless trims, but a factory option was available for lightweight wheels made of composites. These wheels weigh less than half the standard weight and are possibly a unique application of composites on a production vehicle.<br />

The Citroën SM was a high performance coupé produced by the French manufacturer Citroën between 1970 and 1975. It was the first GT car from the company with high performance, comfort and safety, all in a Front-Wheel drive package. The SM placed third in the 1971 European Car of the Year contest, trailing its stablemate Citroën GS, and won the 1972 Motor Trend Car of the Year award in the US in 1972.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
===Styles and Major Options===<br />
The Citroen SM was only produced in one body style: Two doors, Fastback body and Left-Hand drive. Still, there are some different styles:<br />
*Coachbuilder Henri Chapron produced 7 SM convertibles and 8 sedans. These are named Mylord and Opera respectevly.<br />
**Henri Chapron also modified 2 SM to be 4-Door convertibles. These were used by French presidents for parades.<br />
*Heuliez made 2 SM Targa-Top dubbed Espace.<br />
*Some SM were converted to Right-Hand drive in the UK and also in Australia.<br />

===Engine and Transmission===<br />
The engine, dubbed "C114-1" was a Maserati derived 2.7L V6 developing 170 BHP. In 1971, it entered into production a new variant of the car featuring the same V6 but now with 3000cc of capacity and developing 180 BHP. It was dubbed "C114-11". These engines used Weber 42 DCNF carburettors and could be fitted with either a 5-Speed manual or a 3-Speed Borg Warner automatic gearbox. In 1973, the 2.7L V6 was fitted with Bosch D-Jetronic fuel injection, increasing the power to 178 BHP. This new engine was dubbed "C114-03". In 1974 till the end of production, the 5-Speed manual became unavailable for the 3.0L, leaving the automatic as the only gearbox for that model.<br />
<br />
===Performance===<br />
*Top Speed: 137 MPH.<br />
*0-60 MPH: 8.9 Sec.<br />
<br />
===Reliability===<br />
Warranty options and scheduled maintainence information should be mentioned here. <br />
<br />
===Safety===<br />
The wiper mechanism is 'sensitive' to rain, while the steering column is adjustable in both height and reach.<br />
<br />
The braking system, adapted from the DS, employs disk brakes at all four corners (the DS has drums at the rear), with the front brakes being inboard, and cooled via large ducts on the front underside of the car. The front/rear balance of the brakes is self-adjusted hydraulically according to the weight in the rear of the car.<br />

==Unique Attributes==<br />
The SM combines many unusual and innovative features, some of which are only just becoming commonplace on cars of today. It borrows heavily from the innovations introduced on the DS, by including hydro-pneumatic self-leveling suspension, and self-leveling lights that swiveled with the steering (Except in the USA where these were illegal at the time).<br />
<br />
The steering is self-centering and fully-powered (as opposed to hydraulically assisted). This feature allows the front wheels to run near-zero caster, and means that there is no camber change as lock is applied, and also ensures that the maximum amount of tyre area is in contact with the road at all times. The system also adjusts the hydraulic pressure on the steering centering cam according to vehicle speed so that the amount of steering feel remained almost constant at any speed, counteracting the tendency of manual and ordinary power assisted steering to feel light at high speed. Thus the car turns easily at low speed, emphasized by high gearing given two turns lock-lock, and relatively more effort is required at higher speed. Many contemporary reviewers remarked that this system would take at least 50 miles (80 km) of driving to become familiar, but once the driver is accustomed to the system traditional steering feels old-fashioned[3].<br />
<br />
Standard wheels are steel with stainless trims, but a factory option was available for lightweight wheels made of composites. These wheels weigh less than half the standard weight and are possibly a unique application of composites on a production vehicle.<br />

The Citroën SM was a high performance coupé produced by the French manufacturer Citroën between 1970 and 1975. It was the first GT car from the company with high performance, comfort and safety, all in a Front-Wheel drive package. The SM placed third in the 1971 European Car of the Year contest, trailing its stablemate Citroën GS, and won the 1972 Motor Trend Car of the Year award in the US in 1972.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
===Styles and Major Options===<br />
The Citroen SM was only produced in one body style: Two doors, Fastback body and Left-Hand drive. Still, there are some different styles:<br />
*Coachbuilder Henri Chapron produced 7 SM convertibles and 8 sedans. These are named Mylord and Opera respectevly.<br />
**Henri Chapron also modified 2 SM to be 4-Door convertibles. These were used by French presidents for parades.<br />
*Heuliez made 2 SM Targa-Top dubbed Espace.<br />
*Some SM were converted to Right-Hand drive in the UK and also in Australia.<br />

===Engine and Transmission===<br />
The engine, dubbed "C114-1" was a Maserati derived 2.7L V6 developing 170 BHP. In 1971, it entered into production a new variant of the car featuring the same V6 but now with 3000cc of capacity and developing 180 BHP. It was dubbed "C114-11". These engines used Weber 42 DCNF carburettors and could be fitted with either a 5-Speed manual or a 3-Speed Borg Warner automatic gearbox. In 1973, the 2.7L V6 was fitted with Bosch D-Jetronic fuel injection, increasing the power to 178 BHP. This new engine was dubbed "C114-03". In 1974 till the end of production, the 5-Speed manual became unavailable for the 3.0L, leaving the automatic as the only gearbox for that model.<br />
<br />
===Performance===<br />
*Top Speed: 137 MPH.<br />
*0-60 MPH: 8.9 Sec.<br />
<br />
===Reliability===<br />
Warranty options and scheduled maintainence information should be mentioned here. <br />
<br />
===Safety===<br />
The wiper mechanism is 'sensitive' to rain, while the steering column is adjustable in both height and reach.<br />
<br />
The braking system, adapted from the DS, employs disk brakes at all four corners (the DS has drums at the rear), with the front brakes being inboard, and cooled via large ducts on the front underside of the car. The front/rear balance of the brakes is self-adjusted hydraulically according to the weight in the rear of the car.<br />

==Unique Attributes==<br />
The SM combines many unusual and innovative features, some of which are only just becoming commonplace on cars of today. It borrows heavily from the innovations introduced on the DS, by including hydro-pneumatic self-leveling suspension, and self-leveling lights that swiveled with the steering (Except in the USA where these were illegal at the time).<br />
<br />
The steering is self-centering and fully-powered (as opposed to hydraulically assisted). This feature allows the front wheels to run near-zero caster, and means that there is no camber change as lock is applied, and also ensures that the maximum amount of tyre area is in contact with the road at all times. The system also adjusts the hydraulic pressure on the steering centering cam according to vehicle speed so that the amount of steering feel remained almost constant at any speed, counteracting the tendency of manual and ordinary power assisted steering to feel light at high speed. Thus the car turns easily at low speed, emphasized by high gearing given two turns lock-lock, and relatively more effort is required at higher speed. Many contemporary reviewers remarked that this system would take at least 50 miles (80 km) of driving to become familiar, but once the driver is accustomed to the system traditional steering feels old-fashioned[3].<br />
<br />
Standard wheels are steel with stainless trims, but a factory option was available for lightweight wheels made of composites. These wheels weigh less than half the standard weight and are possibly a unique application of composites on a production vehicle.<br />

==Criticisms==<br />
The brakes, while servo assisted, are "barely" assisted and with no ABS, its very easy to lock the wheels.<br />
Also according to motoring journalist John Barker, the door mirrors get in the way if you try to look if anything is coming. He says, "The driver’s door mirror gets in the way looking into right-hand turns".<br />
It has very limited availability due to the fact that only 50 are made every year.<br />

===Engine and Transmission===<br />
The M600 engine uses a 4.4 litre Yamaha derived Volvo B8444S engine which is also used in the [[Volvo XC90]] but with twin Garrett turbochargers equipped with Variable Boost. This allows the user to choose from 450 BHP (Road setting, 0.6 bar pressure), 550 BHP (Track setting, 0.8 bar)and 650 BHP (Race setting, 1.0 bar) through the use of a switch in the interior. It uses a Oerlikon Graziano transaxle with a six-speed Twin Clutch manual gearbox and a RPM redline at 7000.<br />
<br />
===Performance===<br />
*0-60 mph: 3.0 seconds<br />
*0-100 mph: 6.5 seconds<br />
*Top speed: 225 mph<br />
*Weight Distribution: 40/60 (Front/Rear)<br />
<br />
===Reliability===<br />
Warranty options and scheduled maintenance information should be mentioned here. <br />
<br />
===Safety===<br />
The only safety feature the car has is traction control. ABS, ESP and Airbags are all not available options.<br />

It features Air Conditioning and Radio. It comes with leather upholstered Sparco bucket seats with normal Three-point seatbelts. Most of the interior is upholstered in leather while the central console is made from carbon fiber. The Gearleaver is rised from the central console for faster and easier access to the driver. Both the steering wheel and the seats are adjustable although the seats only in reach (Forwards/Backwards). It also has a big boot for a supercar.

Also according to motoring journalist and TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson, is very comfortable. He says "It's quiet and extremely comfortable. It really does ride beatifully.".<br />

The brakes, while servo assisted, are "barely" assisted and with no ABS, its very easy to lock the wheels.<br />
Also according to motoring journalist John Barker, the door mirrors get in the way if you try to look if anything is coming. He says, "The driver’s door mirror gets in the way looking into right-hand turns".<br />
