Technical Data and Innovations of the Citroën 2 CV

The Citroën 2 CV of the 1948-1990 generation features an air-cooled 2-cylinder boxer engine producing around 9 horsepower in the early models. Later versions could achieve up to 29 horsepower. Weighing about 600 kilograms (1,322 pounds), the 2 CV was particularly fuel-efficient and durable. Technological innovations like the advanced suspension, providing a comfortable ride even on rough roads, made the car particularly popular in rural areas. To put it into context, the 2 CV was introduced during a time when songs like "Nature Boy" by Nat King Cole debuted in the 1940s, and the Cold War was shaping up to be one of the most significant political conflicts of the 20th century.
