October 6, 1955, after the presentation of the Citroen DS at the Paris Salon, the automotive landscape has never been the same.
Placed on a turntable, the Citroen DS sensation.
Spurred on by Flaminio Bertoni, the designer of the Citroen House, the DS was fully tested in the wind tunnel in the center for the Study of Ferte Vidame.
By its original forms, the DS seemed to come straight from another planet. True rolling laboratory, the DS innovated by his hydropneumatic suspension, his very sophisticated hydraulic system that commanded the disc brakes, the box semi-automatic and automatic clutch and power steering gear.
Differente in all respects, it is an impression of literally "floating on a cloud" that the driver has the steering wheel feels, a feeling reinforced by revolutionary interior and unparalleled comfort.
The front of the DS (which is reminiscent of the shark "Tiburon"), the details of Interiors (wheel has a single branch, revolutionary table edge) and a range of colors inedite all these items made the DS a car apart and not less than 80 000 orders were placed during the Paris Salon of 1955 (that Citroen has taken several years to honor).
