About the Citroen SM Light Blue Metallic Norev 1:18

TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 diecast Citroen SM reproduces the Maserati-engined 1970 grand tourer in Light Blue Metallic, with opening doors and bonnet. This is a used example, box showing traces of storage, model unaffected. A genuinely distinctive avant-garde French GT for a display beyond the usual suspects.

Few grand tourers of any era combined a French chassis with an Italian engine quite as boldly as the SM, and this light blue finish suits its swooping, low-nosed profile well.

Diecast Build and This Example's Condition

Zinc alloy gives the body real weight, matching a car whose original hydropneumatic suspension and self-centring steering made it one of the most technically complex GTs on sale in its era. Doors and bonnet open, revealing a simplified cabin behind them that hints at the SM's genuinely space-age single-spoke steering wheel and oval instrument binnacle, an original design detail worth seeking out even in simplified diecast form. The Light Blue Metallic paint carries a clean, believable finish. This is a used model, and the box shows traces of storage; the casting itself presents cleanly.

Citroen, Maserati and a Genuinely Ambitious GT

The SM paired Citroen's advanced hydropneumatic chassis technology with a V6 engine developed by Maserati, then under Citroen's ownership, resulting in a grand tourer unlike anything else on the road. Its self-levelling suspension, variable-assist power steering and low, aerodynamic nose made it genuinely advanced for 1970, though its complexity would later contribute to reliability concerns that limited its long-term reputation.

A Distinctive French GT for Any Collection

This model rewards a collector willing to look beyond the obvious German and Italian grand tourers of its era, offering a genuinely different engineering philosophy in a striking shape. Paired with other Citroen models from the same period, it tells the story of a brand willing to take real technical risks.
