1978 Citroen GS | Classic Car | Driving.ca

Cars used to be weird, man. We take for granted that for the most part, we can hop into anything in, say, an airport rental fleet, and no matter what badge graces the front, the basic controls and driving characteristics will be the same. If you know how to drive a Hyundai, you know how to drive a Nissan. But back in ye olde days, some cars were truly weird.

And nobody was weirder than Citroën. I mean, these were people who literally reinvented the (steering) wheel. I’m not kidding; theirs had but one spoke, and that spoke juts out at the 8 o’clock position when driving straight. Why? The spoke-less top of the wheel bends if you hit it in a crash, and the single angled spoke points your body towards the centre of a car in a collision.
