The Citroën SM Bonneville had it's first showing in Europe at this year's RETROMOBILE. Prepared by Jerry & Sylvia Hathaway from California for pure speed in 1980, it reached 206.446 mph - or 332.242 Km/h - at the Bonneville Salt Flats - record for a front wheel driven vehicle.
Covered wheels, twin turbo chargers on the standard Maserati engine, an aerodynamic body by default, and you have the fastest front wheel driven vehicle in the world. Most of the Citroën SM mechanics remained original - the 3 litre engine seemed to have enough potential to make both Jerry and Sylvia Hathaway members of the 200 mph club.
