When I was a child I wanted to have one of these cars. I still do. Even thirty years later its shape does not look out of place. In its days it was at the forefront of technological thought. Hydraulic suspension, aerodynamic shape that would put a lot of modern cars to shame in a wind tunnel, and even mechanically controlled driving lights that followed the direction of front wheels to light the bends in the road.
Vive la France et la difference.

Classic of French auto industry. In its days it was at the forefront of technical design. It is amazing to see them still being driven today. Notice one of the driving lights following the direction of front wheels. Citroen had this 30 years ago.
