About the Citroen CX 2200 Pallas Largentiere Grey Norev 1:18

TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 diecast Citroen CX 2200 Pallas in Grey reproduces the 1976 executive sedan styled by Robert Opron around Citroen's signature hydropneumatic self-leveling suspension. Opening doors and a detailed cabin capture one of the 1970s' most technically distinctive automotive designs.

Citroen never built ordinary executive cars, and the CX's concave rear window and self-leveling suspension made it one of the decade's most technically adventurous large sedans.

An Aerodynamic Design Built Around Hydropneumatic Engineering

Robert Opron, the designer responsible for several of Citroen's most distinctive shapes, gave the CX a genuinely aerodynamic profile for its era, including a concave rear window that helped manage airflow and kept the glass cleaner in wet weather, a detail that looked unusual but served a real engineering purpose rather than pure styling flourish. Underneath that shape, the CX carried Citroen's signature hydropneumatic suspension, a self-leveling system using pressurized fluid rather than conventional springs, giving the car a genuinely distinctive ride quality that set it apart from every mainstream rival in its class. The Pallas designation identified the CX's more luxuriously trimmed variant, aimed at executive buyers who wanted the technical sophistication paired with a correspondingly upscale interior. This 2200 CX represents Citroen at its most confidently unconventional, building a large sedan around genuine engineering innovation rather than following the established formula most rivals relied on. Grey suited the CX's clean, technical character well, letting the concave glass and aerodynamic lines read clearly.

Norev's Diecast Reproduction

Norev has built a strong catalog reproducing French automotive history at 1:18 scale, and this CX reflects that specialization: opening doors, a cabin trimmed with the Pallas variant's more upscale detailing, and body panels that capture the CX's distinctive concave rear window accurately rather than simplifying it into a flat panel. The Grey paint holds even, sophisticated coverage, and panel gaps run typical for a diecast with functional opening parts. Getting the CX's unusual aerodynamic curves right matters enormously for this specific subject, since the car's entire design identity rests on details that a less careful reproduction might smooth over or simplify.

An Engineering Story for a French Executive Shelf

This CX suits a collector interested in French automotive engineering beyond the more commonly reproduced sports cars, and its unconventional suspension and styling story give it genuine standalone significance in a broader 1970s executive-car display.
