The heavily modified land speed racer is not only the fastest SM, but also the fastest Citroen in the world
-sourced V6 which made less than 200 hp , this SM was fitted with a custom twin-turbocharged version making 530 hp . That enabled the French coupe to reach a top speed of 202 mph on the Bonneville Salt Flats, earning it the title of not only the fastest SM but also the fastest Citroen in the world.
The car also featured a stripped-out interior complete with metal bucket seats, a roll cage, and a parachute to slow it down after a top-speed run. The‘s original curb weight was around 3,300 lbs to begin with, so we’d imagine the weight savings from the interior definitely played a role in the car’s pursuit of 200 mph.
To see the car in detail, as well as hear a bit of its raspy V6 exhaust note, you can check it out in the video below.
