The Citroën CX, produced from 1974 to 1991, was a revolutionary car that redefined the concept of aerodynamic efficiency. Its sleek, wedge-shaped design, penned by Italian designer Robert Opron, aimed to achieve a drag coefficient of just 0.35, a remarkable feat for its era. The CX's bodywork was an engineering marvel, featuring a smooth underbody, flush-mounted headlights, and a distinctive "shark fin" rear window – all contributing to its impressive aerodynamic performance. This resulted in lower fuel consumption and improved stability at higher speeds, making it a truly forward-thinking vehicle for its time. The CX was offered in a range of body styles, including saloons, estates (Break), and even a rare, more luxurious "Prestige" version.

Underneath its striking exterior, the CX boasted innovative technology. It featured a sophisticated hydropneumatic suspension system, a Citroën hallmark, which provided excellent ride quality and handling. The CX offered a choice of petrol and diesel engines, some equipped with fuel injection for greater efficiency. Its interior was equally well-appointed, with a spacious cabin and a focus on comfort and practicality. The CX's dashboard, with its unusual wraparound design, was a testament to the car's futuristic spirit. The 1988 factory service repair manual provides a comprehensive guide to maintaining and repairing this iconic car, offering detailed technical specifications, troubleshooting procedures, and diagrams for every component. With its distinctive styling, innovative features, and enduring appeal, the Citroën CX remains a symbol of French automotive ingenuity and a testament to the brand's commitment to creating unique and technologically advanced vehicles.
