The Citroën DS is widely regarded as one of the most important and influential car designs of the 20th century, in fact it was voted third in the 1999 Car of the Century poll, and it was named the most beautiful car of all time by Classic & Sports Car Magazine after a vote was taken among 20 of the world’s top car designers including the likes of Giorgetto Giugiaro, Ian Callum, Roy Axe, Paul Bracq, and Leonardo Fioravanti.
When it was first shown to the public at the 1955 Paris Motor Show is must have appeared as though an alien space craft had landed – such was the giant leap forward in design that the DS represented. Show attendees loved the advanced design and the industry-leading engineering advancements under the skin, within the first 15 minutes of display Citroën had already taken 743 orders. By the end of the first day on display 12,000 orders had been placed, and over the 10 days of the show Citroën took over 80,000 deposits in total. This was a record that remained unbroken until the arrival of the Tesla Model 3 in 2016 – over 60 years later.
