Description


Cette automobile dispose alors d'une particularité rare sur les automobiles de sa catégorie : les roues motrices sont celles du train avant. La traction est l'innovation première de cette voiture. Cette technique est rapidement associée en France à la Citroën, ce qui lui vaut son surnom, « Traction », et plus tard le pléonasme « Traction avant ». La vraie nouveauté est d'associer sur un même véhicule les solutions les plus modernes de l'époque : en plus du mode de transmission, une structure monocoque, des freins hydrauliques et une suspension à roues indépendantes sur les quatre roues. La Traction Avant bénéficie quoi qu'il en soit d'une meilleure tenue de route que la plupart de ses contemporaines, ce qui attise l'imagination des publicitaires : « La Traction Avant dompte la force centrifuge ». Sans cesse améliorée par André Lefèbvre, cette Citroën a ouvert la voie à la production en grande série de véhicules équipés de cette technique, ses qualités lui valant une longue carrière et une production de 760 000 exemplaires. This car then has a rare feature on cars in its category: the drive wheels are those of the front axle. Traction is the first innovation of this car. This technique was quickly associated in France with the Citroën, earning it its nickname, "Traction", and later the pleonasm "Traction avant". The real innovation is to combine the most modern solutions of the time on the same vehicle: in addition to the transmission mode, a monocoque structure, hydraulic brakes and an independent wheel suspension on all four wheels. The Traction Avant benefits in any case from better handling than most of its contemporaries, which stimulates the imagination of advertisers: "The Traction Avant overcomes centrifugal force". Constantly improved by André Lefèbvre, this Citroën has paved the way for the mass production of vehicles equipped with this technology, its qualities having earned it a long career and a production of 760,000 units.
