It has a beautiful backside :D

I'm afraid the hydropneumatic suspension Citroëns will never be seen in a Gran Turismo game though, because they'd have to code a special suspension model for just a handful of cars. The SM also had special power steering with a unique feel and I wonder if the game can model that. Oh and don't forget the steering, self-levelling headlamps of the DS and SM. These cars would take a little more work to be put in the game, compared to most others (or they could ignore everything that makes them unique, and then why bother adding them). Citroën, why did you have to be so innovative :banghead:
