1972 Citroen DS Super 5. The Citroen DS was designed by Flaminio Bertoni and first demonstrated to the public at the 1955 Paris motor show. Although immediately popular, one downside of the early DS was the perceived lack of power, and over the next two decades of production this gradually increased, culminating in the 141bhp Citroen DS23, launched in 1972. The Citroen D Super first appeared in 1970, replacing the Citroen ID, so in 1972 (when the DS21 was replaced by the DS23) some of these D Supers were upgraded with the DS21's 2175cc engine - and given the model designation Citroen D Super 5.
