The Citroën CX, a mid-size executive car produced by the French manufacturer Citroën from 1974 to 1991, stands as a testament to both elegant design and innovative engineering. The CX, designed by Italian stylist Marcello Gandini, debuted in 1974, replacing the iconic DS. Its aerodynamically sculpted body, boasting a drag coefficient of 0.36, was a marvel of its time, contributing to both fuel efficiency and a comfortable ride. The CX featured a unique blend of futuristic styling and practical functionality, with a spacious interior, large panoramic windows, and a remarkably low floor for ease of access. The car's futuristic design extended to its interior, featuring a dashboard with unique angular lines and a distinctive steering wheel that resembled an airplane yoke.

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the CX was a technological tour de force. The car incorporated a hydraulic system that powered not only the brakes and steering but also the suspension, providing a remarkably smooth and controlled ride. The CX also offered a range of engine options, from economical diesel units to powerful petrol engines, catering to varied user demands. While the CX was initially praised for its comfort and performance, its initial production saw some teething troubles with reliability, leading to quality concerns in the early years. However, Citroën progressively addressed these issues, and the CX gained a reputation for its reliability and longevity in the later years of its production. Despite facing competition from more established players in the executive car market, the CX carved a unique niche for itself, attracting a loyal following of enthusiasts who appreciated its blend of style, comfort, and innovation. The CX's captivating design and unique technical features left an indelible mark on automotive history, cementing its place as a cult classic amongst automotive enthusiasts.
