Citroën CX — Original Retro Yellow Car Art Poster

The car that made aerodynamics look like art. 🇫🇷💨

When the Citroën CX debuted in 1974, it was unlike anything else on the road. Named after the aerodynamic coefficient it was designed to minimize, the CX had a drag coefficient of just 0.36 — extraordinarily low for its era — and a silhouette so futuristic that it looked like it had arrived from a decade ahead. It was the worthy successor to the legendary DS, and it carried on Citroën's great tradition of building cars that were simultaneously strange, brilliant, and deeply French.

The CX won the European Car of the Year award in 1975, and it became the car of choice for French presidents — Valéry Giscard d'Estaing and François Mitterrand both rode in CX limousines. It was also famously used as a presidential escort vehicle, its hydropneumatic suspension gliding over cobblestones with the serene indifference of a ship on calm water.

The CX appeared in numerous French films and became a symbol of a particular kind of sophisticated, slightly eccentric European taste — the car for people who found ordinary automobiles too boring to consider. 

This retro art poster captures the CX in warm yellows and loose, painterly strokes — as if the car is driving out of an abstract canvas. Printed on 180 gsm fine art paper with a matte finish.
