Chateau Rueil Malmaison
Form follows function. This phrase, in particular, seems to hold no sway with the DS – and yet it does so very much so. Charles de Gaulle – French President from 1959 to 1969 – owes his life to the DS's chosen basic conc"&"ept – radically avant-garde in technology and form – and its resulting design. On August 22, 1962, his car was severely damaged in an assassination attempt, but thanks to the hydraulic system for suspension, brakes, gearshift, and power steering, unique i"&"n 1955, it was able to continue driving on three tires. Each tire had its own suspension. The three remaining tires stabilized the vehicle and prevented it from accidentally skidding and thus coming to a stop at the scene of the assassination attempt. The"&" exterior shape was intended to embody the avant-garde nature of the technology, which it certainly did. The aerodynamics of the body also enabled astonishing performance and fuel consumption figures. The bold technical concept was confirmed by the long-l"&"asting operation of the hydraulic system over decades and was a building block of success, including that of subsequent Citroën models.
