Description
In my opinion, one of the 10 best car design of all the times.
When the car has been discovered in the Salon de l'Auto in Paris, in 1956 it was a real world revolution in the cars design. Not only the aerodynamic shapes but the conception : a one branch steering wheel, a complex hydraulic shock absorbers system, a particular frame conception.
This is a Poser character with 11 ERC Dials soon available on RR.
In this 3D model, the steering wheel controls both front wheels and the 2 small front highbeam lights, who turn slightly, like it was in reality.
Please, look in full size if you want to appreciate all the small parts.

I remember these as a teenager....rather futuristic for the time. Good looking model with lots of controls!!!
Nice!
J'ai dû rouler dans une douzaine de ces voitures, mon père était un mordu! Sacré travail! Tu m'en bouches un coin!
I agree... one of the best cars ever! And your model is excellent... very realistic and well done!
Beautiful car, outstanding work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice rendering of an iconic car.
A truly classic and iconic model. Magnifique!
I got stuck behind one of these in Yellowstone park back in the 60's. It smoked so much we thought it had a 2-stroke motor.
nostalgie..... la belle voiture de ma jeunesse...
Superbe modélisation, tu n'as pas la version cabrio ou la version rallye en préparation ;-) Je me rappelle d'une pub où on voyait une DS (GS peut-être, j'étais pas bien grand) qui passait au-dessus de fûts renversés grâce à sa suspension étonnante..
In my mind one of the best Citroen's ever designed, the GS is another and they came up with some real beauties. Do you have any plans to make the earlier 2 lamp version as this is my favourite.
Another tremendous model Alain, congratulations as always !!! The DS is a true icon and an engineering marvel. Vive la France ! Your friend Joao
Excellent modèle
Alain, you're back. And you start with a beautiful model again! I hope, you had a pleasant journey.
The complexity and delicacy of your modeling is masterful. I see unexpected geometrical relationships everywhere... Lovely!
Fantastique creation !!!
Superbe travail et un bonheur pour un frenchy de te voir modéliser des voitures française de cette époque. Un grand merci.
DS21 was a great car!But you are a magnificent modeler,Thank you and congrats again my friend! :-))))))))))))))))))))))))
I rarely comment on your work because it is so far beyond anything i can comprehend when it comes to 3D art creation that I don't have anything constructive to say. But I could not help but join in and agree this is a helluva design. It is a work of art not just an automobile.
superbe voiture!on en croise encore,mais tout les modeles ont la meme immatriculation!!ca ne serait pas celle de fantomas,par hasard??
I love this Car! A few years ago I was looking for a model of the Deesse, because I was fascinated by the design of this car. I found nothing and made my own; this was the first 3d car that I made ever. You can still find in my gallery. (today I would be able to make a much better model) ........ Do you know the Czechoslovakian Tatra automobiles of the 30's 40's 50's; Tatra 77/ 87/ 97...? They had also a revolutionary futuristic design for this time and they are definitely well worth to be modeled in 3d. Maybe I will do this sometime, unfortunately I cannot spend much time on my computer currently.
The car what comes in my mind when it comes to French cars. It is THAT French car. Your model looks mouth-watering!
Outstanding, beautiful work.
Lovely model of a classic and stylish car... one of my childhood favorites for it's futuristic looks, and a comparative rarity in NZ.
