Citroën GS & GSA - Citroën’s avant-garde mid-range cars

Citroën is decidedly late to the mid-size market. The competition has long since discovered this segment when Citroën unveils the GS in August 1970. But with its streamlined design, fantastic suspension, comprehensive dashboard and generous luggage space, the GS immediately sets a new standard in its class. Admittedly, it has some drawbacks too, but those who look past them will see a remarkably well-balanced package. Citroën soon expands the GS range with the Break and the practical Service. The top model is the Birotor, a GS with a Wankel engine. In September 1979, the GS is succeeded by the GSA, which has been considerably modernized and now comes with the long-awaited fifth door. In mid-1986, the last GSA rolls off the production line, bringing the successful careers of the GS and GSA to a close after 16 years.
