About the Citroen SM Tropiques Green Norev 1:18

TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 diecast Citroen SM Tropiques in green reproduces the 1972 Maserati-engined grand tourer, with opening doors and bonnet revealing cabin and engine detail. A distinctive, technically unusual French GT for collectors who want something beyond the obvious.

Few grand tourers combined French self-levelling suspension with an Italian V6 quite like the SM did, and that oddball engineering pedigree is exactly why the Tropiques edition rewards a closer look in scale.

Norev's Diecast Approach to the Citroen SM

Norev builds this SM as a zinc-alloy diecast, and the weight in the hand signals that construction immediately, a density resin simply can't match at this scale. The green paintwork on the Tropiques carries an even factory-style gloss, and cast-in detail along the SM's distinctive six-headlamp nose is picked out cleanly despite the wider tolerances diecast tooling allows compared with resin. With opening doors and bonnet confirmed, the model gives access to a cabin trimmed to reflect the SM's unusually plush, dashboard-forward interior and an engine bay where the Maserati V6's compact layout is visible under the raised panel. Diecast shut lines run a touch broader than a sealed resin body's would, but the trade is a model built to be handled, opened and examined repeatedly without worry, which suits a car whose engineering was always its main talking point.

The SM's Place in a Grand Tourer Collection

At 1:18 the SM's long, low fastback proportions demand real shelf width, closer to 25cm than a compact coupe, and that stretched silhouette is worth the space if the aim is a French GT theme running alongside DS and CX diecasts. The SM never sold in huge numbers even new, so a well-detailed diecast is often the most practical way most collectors will examine its cabin and engine layout up close. Norev's opening-panel approach makes the most of that rarity, turning a static shelf piece into something a UK collector can genuinely inspect, panel by panel, on a quiet evening with the display case open.
