I miss this old good time 🙄🙄

I LOVE this citroen and dont me wrong I am a citroen Guy I even OWN a citroen myself but we have te be fake The engine in that is e bit wel crap , I mean its unreliable as shit

@@rickoldenziel7788 couple of small modifications to it and it's as reliable as any other

The SM is a French and also Italian car

Unfortunately the 1973 petrol crisis killed this car before it had it's chance. Citroen had to buy Maserati to make this a reality. It was the start of a long progressive downfall

iam so glad, that we have one at home, it really is an amazing car

@@drbonse77 It became my dream car the first time I saw one in 1974. Still is.

Not only. It may means or Sporting Maserati, or Sa Majeste. Citroen hasn't told us what SM means so we aren't sure about it. I thiink that Sa Majeste is better because of DS (DS=Deese=Goddess).

The S was the nickname of the project for "Sport" because the goal was to make a sportier DS. When they decided to put a Maserati engine in it, they added the M, so it's "Sport Maserati"

Thé s us for ds and thé m for Maserati

It broke by just looking at it. But its a cool car.

Maserati engine

It is THE voiture : )

that is ture af, we have an ds and sm, when u sit in the back of those things u feel like riding on a f*** cloud

yep sound realy good, but that engine had a terrible reliability who kill the SM...

i drive long time the same type of CX2000 and had never hydraulic problems ,with standard maintainance..., and the safety presure is not with "the weight from the car" but with 2 accus spheres: one for the main hydraulic, the other for the brakes...

My Dad had a DSuper5 and a SM , same problems with hydraulic system like with the SM, but!! that was our beloved car for many years because of extraordinary comfort . At least he sold the SM because it was too loud and the DS was better for travelling with three children :)

Rilsan (competitor brand of Nylon) tubes are leak returns. No significant pressure. Any external leak would gradually drain the hydraulic system. No back-up main braking. Power brakes or nothing but the handbrake (and downshifting). If the big red “STOP” light comes on, it means pull off the road and stop! Now! The fastest leak would be if the ¼” steel pipe from the pump to the main click-clack valve cracked. Had it happen on an ID21FH. Hydraulic oil sprayed all over the engine compartment. Next worst is the rubber hose recirculating oil to the reservoir from the click-clack valve. Low pressure but the oil pours out rapidly. In a hydraulique shift car if the hydraulic oil is lost the transaxle defaults to neutral. Can't limp home. The SM Automatique Borg-Warner T35 slushbox is a conventional torque converter automatic. They developed a reputation for stripping the planetary gear cluster. SAAB 99 had an upgrade with a stronger planetary cluster. I don't know if it would retrofit to the Citroën box.

@@leneanderthalien - The brake accumulator supplies the front brakes only. The rear brake pressure is from the rear suspension.

Hi, I do not know, it is not my SM.. SM is just my dream..

and 4:30 again hehe!!

And then he pops the gas pedal and sends it right into the water...What a shame...

C'est l'époque où LA FRANCE était encore une GRANDE PUISSANCE INDUSTRIELLE avant l'arrivée de cette clic néolibérale qui nous a dissous dans ce machin inmonde qu'EU

Fiabilité Japonaise?

@@yoyoyoyos2868 ah, bien vu ! Ahah

hahaha not really....

That's because it's equipped with a Maserati V6.

Maybe because it's 1000x better than a vulgar sport car?

@@elouanp4588 exhaust broken

They would have died long ago if Peugeot did not save them In this day and age only boring designs sell. SAAB made quirky cars and nobody bought them. Same with Lancia. Stupid people today only buy boring vw audi and toyota

Absolutely NOT.

C'est quoi le PRV? Merci.

@@pierrepinson2906 Le PRV à été le V6 conçu en commun avec Peugeot, Renault et Volvo. La première voiture Renault équipée était la R25. Au plaisir.

It's broken

Suomea, not suomalainen 😜

@@nicou5338 Aaa kiitos. Mä puhun nyt vähän suomea, mutta se on vielä paskaa lol

exzentrische Tuohon aikaan taisi ollakin, nyt niitä on lähemmäs 20 rekisterissä jossen ihan väärin muista.

This is how a Hemi V6 should sound like.

In fact maserati was a Citroën 's property since 1968 to1975

You wouldn't see any sm in Africa at the time, too expensive, you could have a Mercedes Benz for half the price, but French car was and are very successful in Africa, Asia like a lot French manufacturers, citroën are a best seller in China, the only problem was America tho, not the south America because France still sell car there, but in North America, first of all the price, since the car was made in France and exported in the USA, they are very expensive, also very hard to fix, (actually the French car, especially citroën and peugeot are known for being easy to repair, but like the parts came from Europe, very expensive) also the law, French car wouldn't fit in the American law, also rascim, usa hates France, for no reason, and this where the rumor of French car are unreliable came from and this is very odd, because at the time, some American brands car where French, jeep and AMC was Renault, actually the hummer, is a Renault, but to be fair american people find one advantage in the French car, they are economic on a long period, low fuel consumption, at the time the best NYC taxi was a Peugeot 504, followed by a Peugeot 505 Tldr, the French have pros and cons, but they are actual practical, economical, and with very wide range of variety, you look for cheap sports car look no further then a secma F16 turbo, if you are looking for a comfortable ride look for any citroën sedan, and if you are looking for a flying motorbike powered by a Maserati V8 then look for the lazareth 496

it's a 90° V6, so unequal fire between cylinders, to be equal a V6 need 60 or 180°...or a stagered crankshaft, like on the last V6 PRV...
