The first prototype car with a triple cabin, 4-cylinder engine Citroën (1911 cc.), Located in front of the rear axle, and an exceptionally low coefficient of air resistance - 0.23 - was first shown June 9, 1946. It showed a speed of 150 km / h.
It is curious that this car, like a modern the McLaren the F1 , there was a driver in the middle, and two passenger seats on either side of him.
