The Citroën GS and GSA were compact, front-wheel drive cars produced by the French manufacturer Citroën from 1970 to 1986. They were known for their innovative design, featuring a distinctive aerodynamic body with a low drag coefficient, and a unique hydropneumatic suspension system that provided exceptional ride comfort and handling. The GS was introduced in 1970 as a replacement for the Citroën Ami 8, and it quickly gained popularity for its advanced technology and stylish appearance. Its innovative features included the world's first fully integrated "floating" dashboard, which was suspended from the roof and moved with the steering wheel. The GS also pioneered the use of a single-shaft, single-plane, four-cylinder engine with a chain-driven overhead camshaft. This engine provided a balance of power and fuel efficiency, making the GS a popular choice for both urban and highway driving. The GS was updated in 1979 with the introduction of the GSA, which featured a more angular and boxy body design with a larger rear window and a more upright windshield. The GSA also benefited from a revised engine that offered improved fuel economy and performance. Despite the changes, the GSA retained the GS's hallmark features, including its hydropneumatic suspension and advanced engineering. The GS and GSA were praised for their comfort, handling, and fuel efficiency, and they were widely regarded as one of the most innovative cars of the 1970s and 1980s. However, the GSA's production ended in 1986, with the introduction of the Citroën BX. Despite its relatively short production run, the GS and GSA remain iconic models in Citroën's history, and their influence can still be seen in many modern cars today.
