Citroen SM Road Test
Просмотров 3569 лет назад
This video features my car a few years ago in Dream Drives.
Please drive with the lights on, when filming the car!
Bad picture quality. Only 480p!
The most advanced car in the whole world!
Great video! I also did a video of the Citroen SM in my channel and I was always a big fan of that car! In terms of colour, the Citroen SM looks great in white but I'm a big fan of the green colour, or even red. The Citroen SM pairs very well with bright colours. Black or dark blue looks nice, but it makes the Citroen SM look like a 1970s French government car or something (like the Citroen DS)
Please don´t complain about the DS!
I saw one for sale for 300 Thousand euro.
Could only have been an Opera or a MyLord.
Perfect haircut, the SM is delighted about it!
3:06 The accessories belt is notorious for its zany path and its length. Not so improbable failure.
This car could have easily been in UFO series.
What a nice video! You are a great presenter, thank you!
He seems to think he's Jeremy Clarkson
Why would anybody want to think of themselves as Clarkson?
Why is this man not the fourth Top Gear presenter? Great music, pacing, editing and script
Alex used to write Top Gear
The car featured still exists - saw it driving through Ealing last year....
You can buy this car - visit The Market at themarket.co.uk/
He left some important details out. Like the hydro suspension that has 4 settings for ride height or the strange shaft that comes out of the front of the engine to drive the pumps and whatnot. Wish he would have given us a proper look under the bonnet.
The suspension has two positions. The upper and lower settings are for tire changing. It will move at high and low position but only at very low speed as the only springing is in the tires and rubber bump stops.
Huge Citroen fan and especially an SM fan, but I have to point out that the Oldsmobile Toronado was putting over twice the horsepower to its front wheels in 1966. The 1970 Toronado GT was a gorgeous beast. My garage for my dad cars will have these cars side by side....
FWD* not Dad Cars lol ;)
The 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado and one year later 1967 Cadillac Eldorado cost half as much as a 1970 SM. Bigger, roomier, heavier, more powerful, more luxurious, power everything. Any GM repair shop could maintain a Toronado/Eldorado. Citroën shops didn't like the Maserati motor; Maserati shops wouldn't let an SM on the lot, despite Citroën rescuing deceased Maserati from liquidation, replaced antique Maserati manufacturing machinery with modern numerical control machines.
@@algrayson8965 Forget the Eldorado, but while the Tornado, with masses more HP, could just about beat the SM off the line, it was no faster at the top end and what, pray tell me, was it's economy like? About 10mpg less than the slippery SM.
dream car right here.
This was Citroen's first car to have automatic transmission as an option, wasn't it? Or was it standard, with no manual available? The four-door Opera version of the car (which is at least 8 inches longer than the coupe), created by Henri Chapron, is gorgeous, too!
In Europe many of them have a 5-speed manual transmission.
Most USA SMs had the 5 speed manual. A few 2.7 litre automatics came over. The rest had the 3 litre as did the USA 5 speed cars for 1973. The Borg-Warner T 35 3 speed was a 1950s design in a FWD transaxle. I never had an Automatique. Mine were two 1972 5 speeds, a 1973 5 speed and a non-USA parts car. A friend had a 2.7 Automatique. The DS got the B-W automatic first but few were made. It was adequate for the DS 4 cylinder and 3-400 pounds lighter car. The SM Automatique earned a poor reputation for stripping the planetary and for being an unsporting slushbox. OK for a DS sedan but not for a GT autoroute car intended to cruise at 125 mph for hours.

if you're a petrol head.....one of the 100 things to buy before you die.....!!!!! but make sure has a European Glass front end, with 6 cibies !!! not the US spec axe murdered chopped front end !!!!!
so glad I kept mine.....love it,
The first minute I thought I was watching Top Gear, wow.
I owned this very car for 5 years selling it in 2002, I raced it round the neurborg ring, Spa, Lydon circuit, and castle coombe, I absolutely rang it's neck and it all held together, This was one of the most reliable classics I have ever owned. its an absolute delight to drive, so comfortable and surprisingly quick for a big car. and somehow hangs on round the corners.
+John Ridley So why did you sell your SM?
+sportsfreundberlin Hi, as I only had one spare garage space at the time, I decided to sell it to make room for another car, as I was now doing motorsports.
Gotta make a choice in live sometimes ..
hI john, Agree with you SM is the best classic ever...(just my view) oh and the R5 Turbo Gordini !!!!
forget the Italians SM, DS, CX are the cars I would have if I could afford them.
Good review on a current and future classic😊
Well done! I love the way he pronounces "Maserati".
What is this from... some type of low-rent Top Gear?
Very good! Just the way James May would do it.
James who?
