The Citroën DS is a true automotive legend, a 20th-century design icon that has left an indelible mark on the automotive world. Launched in 1955, it was a daring vision of the future, instantly rendering all other cars obsolete. With its sleek and futuristic design, advanced engineering, and innovative features, the DS was ahead of its time even when production ended 20 years later. Its legacy continues to influence modern Citroëns, with many of its engineering innovations, such as the hydro-pneumatic suspension, still being used today. This book aims to celebrate the Citroën DS by providing a comprehensive guide to its evolution and detailed specifications. Accompanied by over 270 photographs, it showcases all the significant model variations and the major changes in DS specification throughout its production years. From the original DS to the iconic DS 21 Pallas, each model is examined in detail, including engine and trim permutations, production changes, identification number sequences, body colors, production figures, and market variations. A meticulous search for cars of the highest quality and authenticity in the UK, France, and Holland has resulted in the selection of over 35 exceptional examples, some of which have been meticulously restored to their original glory. The photographs in this book not only showcase the beauty of the Citroën DS but also serve as a valuable reference source for owners, restorers, buyers, and enthusiasts alike. Whether you are a passionate admirer of this iconic car or are simply interested in learning more about its history and engineering, this book is an indispensable resource.
