The Citroën GS, produced from 1970 to 1986, was a revolutionary compact car that epitomized French automotive ingenuity. The GS's design, spearheaded by the renowned engineer Paulin, was characterized by its aerodynamic, wedge-shaped body, a testament to the influence of the automotive designer, Flaminio Bertoni. This unconventional design allowed for exceptional fuel efficiency and low drag, making the GS a pioneer in aerodynamics. It was also lauded for its innovative features, including a front-wheel drive system, a sophisticated hydropneumatic suspension with self-leveling capabilities, and a lightweight, water-cooled, four-cylinder engine. These attributes combined to deliver a driving experience that was both agile and comfortable, making the GS a popular choice among drivers seeking a blend of performance and practicality.

In 1973, Citroën introduced the GSA, a more spacious and luxurious iteration of the GS. The GSA, designed to appeal to a wider audience, boasted a larger interior, increased cargo space, and a slightly larger engine. Despite these modifications, the GSA retained the signature features of its predecessor, including the distinctive wedge-shaped profile and the sophisticated hydropneumatic suspension. The GSA's success cemented the GS lineage's place in automotive history, cementing Citroën's reputation for producing innovative and stylish vehicles that prioritized comfort and functionality.
