About the Citroen SM Maserati Proto Michelin Red Yellow White Otto 1:18

TL;DR: This 1:18 resin Otto Mobile replica reproduces the Citroen SM Maserati Proto in its Michelin red, yellow and white test livery. The SM combined a Maserati V6 with Citroen's hydropneumatic suspension, and this sealed resin casting suits the car's smooth, low fastback body precisely.

Citroen's SM paired the marque's self-levelling hydropneumatic suspension with a V6 engine developed with Maserati, producing a genuinely unusual grand tourer that looked and drove like nothing else on sale at the time.

Casting a Distinctive Fastback in Resin

The SM's long, low nose and steeply raked rear glass make it a natural subject for resin, since the flowing, unbroken surfaces read best without the seam lines a diecast bonnet or boot hinge would introduce. A Michelin proto livery, typically carrying additional decals or a multi-colour scheme, deserves close inspection for sharp, well-registered graphics, since a proto or test livery lives or dies on how convincingly those details are applied. The covered headlamp treatment and the SM's characteristically narrow rear track are worth checking for accurate proportion, since they are among the car's most recognisable design signatures. As a sealed piece, the model offers no opening panels, keeping the focus on that distinctive silhouette.

A Specialist Piece for French GT Enthusiasts

The SM occupies an unusual space in French motoring history, technically ambitious and commercially limited, and a proto livery version like this one appeals specifically to collectors who value engineering history over broad recognition. It sits well alongside other special and unique French subjects rather than mainstream GT coupes, since its closest peers share that same willingness to prioritise innovation over convention. At 1:18, the long, low body gives it a commanding shelf profile, and it rewards a display angle that shows off the fastback roofline, arguably the car's single most distinctive feature.
