The Citroën GS, produced from 1970 to 1986, was a revolutionary hatchback that cemented the French automaker’s reputation for innovative engineering and design. This compact car, launched in 1970, was the first production car to feature a hydropneumatic suspension system, which provided exceptional comfort, handling, and ride quality. The GS was a technological marvel, featuring a lightweight, aerodynamic body, a powerful and efficient 1.0-liter to 1.3-liter engine (depending on the model year), and a spacious interior that comfortably accommodated five passengers. The GS also boasted an innovative rear-mounted gearbox, contributing to its nimble handling and efficient fuel consumption.

The Citroën GS was a resounding success, winning the European Car of the Year award in 1971, and it achieved international acclaim for its advanced technology, stylish design, and practicality. The GS offered a unique driving experience, with its responsive steering, smooth acceleration, and stable handling. It quickly became a favorite among drivers who appreciated its blend of comfort, performance, and efficiency. The GS spawned a series of successful variants, including the more luxurious GSA, the sporty GSpecial, and the estate version, the GSpécial Break. The GS legacy continued with the introduction of the Citroën BX, which inherited the original's hydropneumatic suspension system, further solidifying Citroën's position as a frontrunner in automotive innovation.
