About the Citroen CX Break Metallic Green MCG 1:18
TL;DR: MCG's 1:18 diecast Citroen CX Break in Metallic Green reproduces the aerodynamic estate variant of Citroen's 1970s executive car. Designed by Robert Opron and built around Citroen's hydropneumatic suspension, the CX carried forward the design ambition of the DS it replaced.
Replacing the DS was never going to be easy, but the CX managed it by pushing aerodynamic design even further, and the Break estate version stretched that same wind-cheating shape into genuinely useful load space.
MCG's Detailing of the CX's Aerodynamic Wagon Body
Robert Opron's design for the CX prioritized smooth, unbroken surfacing over sharp creases, a look that suited a hydropneumatic suspension system built to keep the body level regardless of load, and the Break wagon variant carries that aerodynamic language all the way to the tailgate. MCG's diecast holds the CX's distinctive concave rear window and low beltline convincingly, and the metallic green finish gives the long body genuine visual depth under direct light. Diecast construction typically brings opening doors and hood, letting the CX's unusual single-spoke steering wheel and dashboard layout show when displayed open, details that mattered enormously to how genuinely different the CX felt to sit in.
An Engineering Statement Wrapped in Wagon Practicality
The CX's self-leveling hydropneumatic suspension was a genuine engineering achievement rather than a marketing gimmick, smoothing out road imperfections in a way few contemporaries could match, and the Break variant proved that technology could carry real cargo without compromise. Displayed beside more conventional 1970s European wagons, the CX Break stands out as the car that took engineering risks its rivals avoided. For a collector tracing Citroen's design lineage from the DS forward, this green Break is a genuinely important, if often overlooked, chapter.
