The Citroën GS, produced from 1970 to 1986, was a revolutionary compact car that marked a significant departure from the traditional design ethos of the French automaker. Known for its aerodynamically sleek body, front-wheel drive layout, and innovative hydropneumatic suspension, the GS was a stylish and technically advanced car for its time. Its design, penned by Italian coachbuilder Pininfarina, featured a low, sloping hood, a wide, sweeping windshield, and a distinctive, almost futuristic profile. This aerodynamic design, a departure from the boxy look of its predecessors, allowed for a remarkably low drag coefficient, contributing to a comfortable and fuel-efficient driving experience.

The GS was also a pioneer in its use of hydropneumatic suspension, a system developed by Citroën that offered unparalleled ride comfort and handling. This system, utilizing hydraulic fluid and pressurized nitrogen, allowed for adjustable ride height, self-leveling, and a unique "magic carpet" ride quality. This suspension system, along with its light weight and powerful engines, made the GS an incredibly agile and fun-to-drive car. Available in a range of engine options, including a 1.0-liter and a 1.2-liter, the GS offered a blend of performance and efficiency. The GS was a critical and commercial success, winning the European Car of the Year award in 1971 and becoming one of Citroën's best-selling models. Its combination of cutting-edge technology, stylish design, and practicality solidified its place as a landmark car of the 1970s and a worthy successor to the legendary Citroën DS.
