Look at the roof line and the windscreen surround, the P6 is almost identical to the DS. Other areas where the DS provided "inspiration" included the inboard discs (as you've pointed out) and the use of a structural "caisson" with unstressed body panels bolted on. If only the DS had been available with a V8 engine! (Although I know a guy who is working on adapting the VW VR6 engine to be retrofittable into the DS).hamster":29aby5vx said:Always loved the P6 - especially the huge seats!
Lots of insane engineering like inboard discs made them a kind of British Citroen DS.
Well, they almost did the V8 conversion with the SM, although a couple of cylinders short.
