About the Citroen SM Maserati Gold Norev 1:18

TL;DR: The Norev Citroen SM 1:18 diecast reproduces the 1970 grand tourer that paired a Maserati-built V6 with Citroen's hydropneumatic suspension and self-leveling headlights. Finished in gold, it captures a genuinely unusual French-Italian collaboration, a low, wide coupe shape unlike anything else in Citroen's lineup, well suited as a Grand Tourer display centerpiece.

Citroen owned Maserati for a brief stretch around 1970, and the SM was the clearest result, a coupe that borrowed an Italian V6 for a chassis built on French hydraulic principles.

An Unusual Engineering Pairing Rendered in Diecast

The SM's six cylindrical headlights, angled to steer with the front wheels, sat behind a glass cover that gave the nose a distinctly aerodynamic look for 1970, and Norev's zinc alloy body captures that low, streamlined profile well, with a wide track and a fastback roofline that reads as more grand tourer than conventional coupe. The Maserati-sourced V6 sat under a long hood shape the diecast reproduces faithfully, even though the model naturally can't replicate the hydropneumatic self-leveling system that made the real car ride and handle unlike anything else on sale at the time. Gold suits the SM's era well, a period-correct choice next to the more common Citroen tones seen on other Norev DS and SM releases. Opening doors reveal a period-styled interior with the single-spoke steering wheel the SM was known for, a detail collectors familiar with the original car will appreciate immediately. At roughly 24 centimeters long in 1:18, the model's proportions emphasize just how low and elongated the real SM sat compared with the upright DS sedan it shared badge with.

A Short-Lived Collaboration Worth Collecting

Citroen's ownership of Maserati lasted only a few years before financial pressure forced a sale, and the SM went out of production not long after, making it a genuine curiosity rather than a long-running model line. That brevity is part of its appeal for a French GT shelf: unlike the DS or 2CV, which spanned decades, the SM represents a specific, unrepeatable moment when two very different automotive philosophies briefly shared a factory. Displayed next to a DS sedan, the SM shows how far Citroen was willing to stretch beyond family transportation, and next to period Italian GT models, it demonstrates how differently the same engine could be packaged. For a collector building a theme around unusual manufacturer partnerships rather than a single marque, the SM is close to essential.
