The Citroën GS and GSA are a series of compact cars produced by the French manufacturer Citroën from 1970 to 1986. Designed by the legendary Italian coachbuilder Pininfarina, the GS was intended to be a successor to the Citroën Ami 8, offering a more modern and aerodynamic design. The GS was a technological marvel for its time, being the first production car to feature a hydropneumatic suspension system, offering unparalleled ride comfort and handling. It was also noted for its distinctive wedge-shaped body, a testament to its aerodynamic design, and its innovative, high-tech features like a unique "glass-house" cabin and a fully independent suspension system.

The GSA, launched in 1979, was essentially a facelifted version of the GS, with a redesigned front end featuring rectangular headlights and a larger grille. It also received a revised interior and a range of new engines, including the innovative "Electron" engine series, which featured electronic fuel injection and offered improved fuel economy and performance. While the GS and GSA never achieved the sales success of other Citroën models like the 2CV or DS, they were nonetheless critically acclaimed for their innovative engineering, fuel efficiency, and driving dynamics. They left a lasting mark on the automotive landscape, showcasing Citroën's commitment to technology and design, and paved the way for future models like the BX and XM.
