Pretty sure this UFO-like 1992 #Citroën XM was my favorite of the Best of France and Italy show 🇫🇷 but you can't not love this cocaine-70s interior on a #Renault R5 Turbo #GetItintheGoodColor #weirdcarmastodon
Was surprised a #Citroen model this late has the hydropneumatic suspension #weirdcarmastodon

@slirt the later C5 and C6 also have hydropneumatic suspensions, although more advanced in its implementation in some ways.

No current model uses it, although many do offer double stop suspensions for greater comfort. That is not self leveling, however. 😞

Hydropneumatic must not have survived the ever greater need for economy, with the energy needs of the pump to drive the system. 🤷‍♂️

It will be sorely missed by aficionados.

@slirt By the way, the 68 registration is from Alsace “Haut Rhin” or “Upper Rhine”, closer to Switzerland. Strasbourg is in the “Bas Rhin” or “Lower Rhine”, which is further north (it’s lower according to river flow from the mountains, not lower on the map).

The #CitroënXM has 13 individual windows — including an interior window that prevents cool air from causing discomfort to occupants when the rear hatch is opened (not on all models).

That’s a very sexy CX next to it. 😉
