Flaminio Bertoni created it from clay, as if it were a sculpture: and the “maquette publicitaire” donated by Citroën in 1960 clearly shows the uniqueness of its lines (the company recommended accessing the car from the trunk and avoiding the doors in order not to ruin the trims!). But the DS, or rather, the déesse, the goddess, is innovative even under its skin, with an efficient and sophisticated drivetrain and high-quality materials. More than one and a half million were sold to match the success of its forerunner, the Traction Avant.
