Launched in 1934, the Citroën Traction Avant was one of the most innovative cars of its time. Designed under the direction of André Lefèbvre, it introduced a particularly modern design featuring front-wheel drive, a monocoque body, independent front suspension, and hydraulic brakes. The 11 Légère version, introduced in 1934, was equipped with a 1,911 cm³ four-cylinder engine producing approximately 46 ch. More compact and lighter than the 11 Normale, it stood out for its elegant proportions and low profile, which became emblematic of French automobile production. Presented in an elegant shade of red, this Traction Avant 11 Légère features the characteristic silhouette of the first generations of the Traction. Its four-door body, flowing lines, and particularly innovative architecture make it an indispensable model in France’s automotive heritage today. An iconic symbol of Citroën’s technical boldness in the 1930s, the Traction Avant remains one of the most important models in French automotive history, both for its innovations and its influence on subsequent generations. A red four-door sedan, presented in keeping with the original spirit of the car. A historic, elegant automobile representative of the early years of the Traction Avant.
