Fieramilano. Evento AutoClassica. Domenica 20 novembre 2022. 16:27. Questa Citroen aveva le classiche sospensioni idropneumatiche della Casa francese ed era motorizzata con un Maserati V6 2.7 litri (lo stesso della Maserati Merak) che sviluppava, a seconda della versione, da 170 a 180 Hp. Il che la rendeva, tra le auto fabbricate in serie, la trazione anteriore più potente in Europa e, con i suoi 220-228 km/h, la più veloce al mondo. La carrozzeria era stata disegnata da Robert Opron, già allievo di Flaminio Bertoni e suo successore a capo del centro stile della Citroen. Nel primo post del commento qui sotto ci sono altre foto e alcuni link sulla storia e sulle caratteristiche di quest'auto. #Auto #AutoStoriche #AutoClassica

Il tridente, logo della Maserati, è stato applicato da un proprietario. Nella vettura originale era assente.

Al pari del tridente sul muso, la scritta “Maserati”, nella tipica grafica della Casa Modenese, è stata applicata da un proprietario. In realtà, sia all'esterno e che nell'abitacolo, vi erano solo scritte e loghi della Citroen.
Anche il nome “Citroen Maserati” le era stato attribuito dal pubblico e dalla stampa e non era nella denominazione ufficiale. Quest'ultima consisteva semplicemente in “Citroen SM”. Vero è però che “SM” significava “Sport Maserati”; quindi la designazione popolare poteva essere vista come una sintesi o un'abbreviazione di quella ufficiale.
A quanto mi risulta la scritta “Maserati” la si trovava solo sulla testata del Motore V6, fabbricato a Modena.

Thanks Diodato.
Commercially, MS has been a failure.
The Maserati 6-cylinder V-engine was very bright and gritty, but not fluid and quiet, as perhaps it should have been for a car like this, equipped with hydropneumatic suspension and which focused a lot on comfort. It also required thorough maintenance.
Later it was installed on the Maserati Merak, a mid-engine, rigid spring sports car, for which it was much more suitable.
Despite this, it is, as you noted, a very interesting car both from a mechanical and aesthetic point of view. In fact, it has respectable quotations.
