10 years of progress. Famous for IO years, a dream car that has beco1!1e legendary, constantly perfected, the DS, this year, is i111proved in a11 essential feature : a ne1JJ high performance engine. This ne1JJ po1JJer 11nit, offered i11 a choice of tiJJo versions, co11firms the leading positio11 1JJhich the DS has occupied for ten years. The new DS's : Flexible, quiet, robust, po1verf1,1l. The new engines. The new DS 19 is fitted JJJith a 1 ,9 SJ cc. engi11e developing 90 bhp SAE at 5,250 rp111, givi11g the car a top speed of 103 111ph. The ne1v DS 21 has a 2 , I7 J cc. engine JJJhich develops 109 bhp S/I B at J,JOO rptn. This "over-square" et1gi11e gives the car a top speed of 112 mph. Sta11ding start 1/4 111ile I 9. f seconds. Characteristics co1nmon to both these engines are f bearing crankshaft, he1nispherical light alloy cylinder head, JJJith i11let 1nixture p1·eheati11g, t1vin choke doJJJndra11ght carburettor; large overhead valves, s11111p cooli11g fins, 1vhich give then1 high poJJJer, great flexibility, 1vhilst making it quieter and tnore robust. The new improvements. The axle has been ·reinfo1·ced. The braking systevz has been revised ( 2 sets of linings each_( or the ar1><iliary and main brakes) and cooling (as 1vell as that of the engine) has been itnproved. The suspension dan1pers have also been adapted to the higher perfortnance, so has the clutch engage11Jent co1npe11sator. The transmission now has constant velocity joints throuJ!.hout JJJhich

eliminate all vibration. NeJJJ Micheli11 XAs 1vide tread tyres, specially designed for high perfort11a11ce, are fitted to the 11e1JJ DS's. Because of its very high performance, the DS 2I has so1ne s_pecial features : the headlatnp beams are self-levelling, an important safety factor. Other improveme11ts inclt1de a brake lining wear indicator and J high frequency horns. The most advanced techniques If today there 1vas only one DS in the world, everyone 1vould say that it tJJould be the petfect prototype of the drecun car. Indeed, tJJhat car can offer so 111any advanced and well proven feat11res? Citroen has the 4 featttres ivhich 1nake it the sq/est c1nd 1t1ost comfortable car. r Front wheel drive for safe . cornertng. This is a tech11iqHe 1JJhich, one by one, 111otor 111a111tjacl!frers all over the world are jollo1vi11g because it is a factor of absol11te sa_fety; it has been carried thro11gh to petfection by Citroen 1J1ho pioneered it 3 o years ago. 2 Hydropneun1atic suspension for absolute comfort. Also increasingly imitated, for IO years it has served as the yardstick by which to judge other s11spension systems. It replaces ordinary steel springs by 4 air cushions 1vhich are Io ti111es 1nore supple. Soft, _yet .Perfectly efficient, it eliminates that pseudo-contradiction between comfort and safety because, for the first time, it combines unrivalled comfort with perfect road holding.

at a constant running height regardless of the load carried or the unevenness of the road. 3 Disc brakes for con1plete safety. Here again, Citroen led the way, 10 years ago, being the first manufacturer to fit disc brakes to a car as standard equip1nent. On the DS they are hydraulically power operated. The braking action is automatica/1:)1 balanced accordin,g to the loading on front and rear wheels. Also the DS has t1vo independent braking circuits which represent a double safety factor. 4 Styled for grace and elegance. A real masterpiece qf aerodyna1nic des~gn, the DS co1nbines technical requirement with beauty off orJJt. The "functional" shape, originated fro1n the engineer's 1JJorking drawing, has been praised by stylists the 1vorld over, and 1vas im1nediately accepted in the field of living conte;nporary forJJts as the most modern e."<:pression of beattty. Shaped to cleave through the air, it gives, even 1vhen stationary, the impression qf speed frozen at an instant of ti1ne. Proven by 1 o years of experience, constantly improved, having satisfied hundreds of thousands of users for millions of JJtiles, the DS is a revolutionary JJtotor car and has the reassuring steadiness of 1naturity. The DS : a drawing room on wheels. Exceptional interior space : The interior dimensions qf the DS provide a1nple room for five people. A co1npletely flat floor is 1nade possible by the front wheel drive. Also, with the long JJJheelbase, the distance bet1veen the front tJnd back seats is greater than in vtost modern cars. One can stretch

ones legs in the back as 1vell as in the front. Soundproofing : This has been carefu/1:)1 studied in every detail, and finished off with a deep pile carpet backed Jvith latex foa1n; it helps to keep the car quiet. There is no n1ore noise at 100 1nph than there is at 60 1nph. Luxurious interior : The iJJtpeccable finish of the interior as a whole is scrupulous(y maintained do1vn to the s1nallest detail: cigat· fighter, electric clock, soft interior lighting. There are pockets in the front doors. Also readily to hand, there is a map st01vage pocket beneath the dashboard. "Armchair" seats : Carefully designed to give anato1nicaf support in all driving conditions, they are available in a large range of colours. I~ith foa1n padded cushions, the_,v are more cotnfortable than the best art11chairs and they can be converted, in secondr, to bunk beds. There is also a Jo/ding centre ar1nrest at the rear. Heating and ventilating : Fresh air ventilation and heating can be blended and directed to give any desired conditions, even 1vhen the car is stationary, by 1neans of an electric bfo111er motor. Side window de-misting : on each side of the Jvindscreell there is a special duct for de-111isling the side windows. riot air may be directed do1vn1vards ( to1vards the legs and feet of the occtpants) or i1p1vards (jor de-tnisting or de-frosting) or both. Individual heating- Ventilation louvres : At each end of the dashboard there are louvres throu,r1,h

1Phich fresh air is ducted from the .front of the car. By operating small levers, the flow of air from these louvres can be controlled a11d directed towards the heads or legs qf the passengers (or both). It is therefore possible to have both heating and ventilation when travelling. Any desired conditions of heat or ventilation can be selected instantly and ducted to suit the occupants. A new style of driving. All round visibility : No thick 1vi11dow frames to restrict visibility and very slender 1vindscreen pillars sloped in the right direction ( backivards) to eliminate all blind spots. The distance separating these slender 1vindscreen pillars 1vas calculated according to the angle of binocular vision. They do not impair vision either to the right or to the left and provide "cinemascope" visibility. The DS 19 can be driven effortlessly, JJJith fingertips and toes : starting, de-clutching, changing gear, steering, braking : these assisted controls do the driver's hard 1vork .for him. Driving position designed for speed : There is no time lag bet1veen your reflex and the reaction of the car, all the essential driving controls have been placed 1JJithin easy reach of the driver. Without taking his hand off the JJJheel the driver can operate the direction indicators, side-headla1nps-dipswitch, headla111p flasher, horns and gear selector. With the single spoke steering wheel he always has an uninterrupted view of the instru?nent panel. Power-assisted steering : The DS steerinJ!. responds iflstantly

and 1vith precision to the driver's lightest touch. It is effortless, the actual effort required to turn the 1vheel being provided by hydraulic po1ver 1JJhich ans1vers instantly to the driver's move1J1ents. Automatic clutch : Elifl1ination of the clutch pedal avoids tiring move111ents. To change gear (they are all syncromesh), simply move the selector lever with one finger. The driver enjoys all the advantages of an automatic gearbox tvithout any of its dra1vbacks : he can select 1vhichever gear he requires and thus retain his 01JJn particular style of driving. Manoeuvrability : The ease and precision of the steering is unaffected by the unevenness of the road. The SfJlall turning circle, the rounded front body1vork, the track of the rear 1JJheels being narrower than that of the front for shorter cornering, all of these are factors which 1J1ake parking easier and give the DS its unrivalled manoeuvrability. Safety. The DS is the safest car : Front 1vheel drive, hydropneumatic suspension, po1ver-operated disc brakes are the essential ingredients of the only real safety factor of value : that 1JJhich is preventive. This safety is further increased by excellent stabili~y due to the negligible front and rear overhang and long wheelbase as 1vell as the exceptional adherence qf the new Michelin XA s tyres (wide tread, 10111 pressure and 1J1etal casing) 1vhich are fitted as standard. In the event of fierce braking, the ease of 1J1ovement of the gear selector enables one to change down instantly whilst the brake pedal is favourably

-- •

positioned for immediate action. Even in the basic construction of the car there is an optimum of safety : the 111etal framework 1vhich supports the various body components is welded to a rigid girder chassis designed according to the principle of "greater strength from hollo1v members", which is used in aircraft construction. The shape qf the front bumper, the rubber buffers, the spare wheel in front of the engine, the front mounted engine all constitute so many successive shock absorbers in the event of collision. F11rther safety features are to be found inside the car : a single spoke steering Jvheel to minimize ir!Jury to the driver by the steering column, a reflection free padded instrument panel with lighting rheostat and many other parts padded for protection. Other features include : A two position rear view mirror : anti-dazzle for night driving. Safety locks on the doors : the interior door handles have a simple but effective safety catch which tnust be operated before the door can be opened. Also, safety harnesses may

be fitted as optional equipment. Details which make all the difference. Simplification of fittings : The rear wing is secured by a single bolt, each door is held by only two nuts. Twin windscreen 1vashers and parallel s1veep two speed wipers. 5-position height adjustment : enables the driver to raise the car, as desired, for driving over rough, muddy or flooded ground or to facilitate moving off on snotv covered roads. Also it greatly simplifies 1vheel changing. Luggage space : a boot with a fully utilizable capacity of I 7 I/ 2 cu.ft. With flat rectangular sides, it can be.fully loaded with normal suitcases and it is deep enough for them to be packed upright (the lid is counterbalanced and the boot light comes on 1vhen it is opened) . The DS Pallas. This is the DS in the superlative; everything about it is more luxurious, more refined. Car~f ully selected new materialr take the place of those used on the normal production line. Citroen has achieved the impossible in its quest for perfection.

I DS Successes.

Rallies show up the qualities of a strict(y production car which is sudden(y put through the severest of tests. The exceptional effort which these competitions demand from both drivers and cars proves the DS formula : comfort+ safety +power= speed. The successes achieved by the D SI 9 in rallies confirm, more than ever, its reputation of being ''the best car in the world on the open road''. Actual(y, the D S has taken first place in the general classification of near(y all the rally events in the international s/Jortinf! calendar.

The Motorway Car The still, quiet, safe, aerodynamic

world of a Citroen OS isn't like that of any other car. It's more like your favourite armchair.

It's unique Hydropneumatic suspension smooths out every bump in every road, whatever the load.

And advanced aerodynamics make the OS go like the wind. Into the wind.

The miles dissolve. Your tensions fade, as you and your passengers relax in cushioned luxury.

Forget others on the road. The Citroen OS is far removed from its lesser rival , the ordinary motor car.

•

DS-The Open Road Car

When you open up the OS on the open road you seem to float away from the crowd.

The complete absence of movement or noise amazes you. The wrap-around, infinitely-adjustable seats cocoon you in utter comfort. And deep pile carpet with foam underlay emphasises the sensation that you are driving a luxury pad on wheels instead of a car.

You feel very safe inside your citroen OS - and you are very safe.

No-one is more safety-conscious than Citroen. The padded steering wheel has only one spoke, like the one f itted to the SM Citroen Maserati and G S. Deep padding also covers the dashboard, and even the switches are collapsible.

•

The Rough Road Car The OS makes you think all the roads

have just been re-surfaced. The legendary suspension ignores dips, pot-holes, and the kind of terrain that would stop lesser cars in thei r tracks.

Super efficient cushions of gas and oil replace the traditional metal springs, and each wheel has its own shock absorber sphere to absorb the bumps so you don't.

Automatic height control front and rear, keeps the car at a constant height whatever the load.

Each wheel is independent, enabling the OS to absorb every fault in the road while maintain ing complete stability. Road shocks are transmitted by a fluid to the gas, wh ich absorbs them.

The ground clearance can be adjusted manually by the driver from within the car. So the OS takes in its stride cart tracks and places where you wouldn't attempt to drive another car. The clearance variation also enables you to change a wheel with no strain on your back.

. ..

The Mountain Car No longer is driving in the mountains

the hair-raising business it used to be. Exceptional braking, cornering and road­holding make the OS as sure footed as a mountain goat. It has proven it through the toughest of rallys, marathons, etc. Furthermore, all mechanical parts have been grouped in front to increase the grip of the wheels that both drive and steer the car.

This is the front-wheel drive technique refined to the highest degree of perfection by Citroen engineers.

The power of the engine; the suppleness of the suspension, the efficiency of the braking system -everything reassures you that the Citroen DS is to be trusted even when road cond itions aren 't.

The unique swivell ing driving lights (optional only avai lable with power steering on D Special, D Super, Safaris and DS20/21 finish), turn round corners before you do. So driving at night is like driving in the light.

The DS automatically corrects the aim of the headlights under braking or acceleration.

The DS is at home in the mountains as it is on the open road. And so are you.

•

The Rain Car When other cars slip and slide, the

Citroen OS glues itself to the road. The high pressure brakes have a double circuit to double your safety, and are power operated to eliminate any effort on the part of the driver. Automatic compensation for variations of load is provided, reducing the likelihood of rear wheel locking. Discs at the front are inboard-mounted, and ventilated by special ducts for improved cooling.

The interior heating and ventilation minimises condensation -a big safety contribution. The heated rear window (optional on the 'O' Special, 'O' Super, Safaris and DS20/21 f inish) prevents ice and f rost from marring your vision. Rear visibil ity remains optimum under all cond itions.

Power steering (optional on the 'D' Special, 'D' Super and Safaris) is insensitive to surface faults, and even on wet roads the handling of the OS remains irreproachable due to the directional stability being constant.

II. - - I

The After Dark Car Housed in their handsome casements

the four articulated headlamps of the OS aren't merely artistic -they're functional. They probe into the darkness, seeking out the dangers of the night.

The auxiliary lights (optional on the 'O' Special, 'O' Super, Safaris and DS20/21 finish) turn with the front wheels, and the beam of the main lights adapts to clearance variation, controlled by an automatic correcting device.

The tachometer, speedometer and warning panel are all protected by anti-reflective glass.

Eleven light signals give you the pulse of the car at any given moment. One glance is sufficient to reassure you that al I vital parts are functioning perfectly. Blue - Main beam control signal. Red - Hydraulic brake pressure, engine

oil pressure, and water temperature signals.

Green - Turning signals. Yellow - Battery charge, brake wear and

rear heated window signal. Green - Side lights signals. Red - Imperative stop signal. There is even a braking distance reminder on the speedometer.

~ . '

• ...

No other car in this price range- or any price range - can boast al I the features of the OS. Advanced Citroen design and engineering techniques make it tru ly unique and revolutionary.

Technical achievement reaches new heights of performance and safety for drivers and passengers al ike. It is no coincidence that the Electronic Fuel Injection OS 21 was awarded the 'Safety

Prize' by the French Automobile Press Association.

ESTATE CAR - THE SAFARI The Estate Car gives an incredible

amount of usable space. The effective capacity in the rear, made up of flat surfaces, is no less than 71 cubic feet. And as if that were not enough, there is the built-in roof rack.

The estate version has the san1e horsepower (20 or 21 engine with carburettor), the same comfort and the same impeccable roadholding as its brother, the DS.

THE ELECTROPHORESIS This is a process with which body parts,

visible and hidden, can be covered with a coat of protective paint before the application of priming and finish . The bodywork of the OS is effectively protected against corrosion.

THE AERODYNAMICS Once rnore this year, Citroen wanted to

improve the air penetration-coefficient (Cx) of the OS, already exceptional for a mass­production car. The door handles are now flush fitting.

COMFORT All the OS's starting f ron1 the 'O' Super

now have two reversing lights. The glove compartrnent, the heating control, the

cigarette lighter, the ashtray and the anti­theft lock are equipped 'Nith a lighting unit.

PADDED STEERING WHEEL The alreadv farnous safety original, the single spoke steering wheel is now covered with a foan1 rubber padding for n1ore driving pleasure.

HORSEPOWER Various in1provements have uprated the

'D' Special to89 bhp DIN <a 5500 rpm; 98 bhp

SAE ra 5750 rpm (102 mph approximately) and the 'D' Su per, DS20 and Safari 20 to 99 bhp DIN ra 5500 rpm; 108 bhp SAE(<~ 5750 rpm (105 rnph approximately).

TYRES For your safety, al l the OS's are now

fitted with lyre-wear indication lines. They are indeed Michelin Radial tyres and there is no better equipment for all weather and road conditions.
