classic elegance plugs into sustainable future

The Citroen SM yesterday and today
This was the most advanced car of the 1970s, and today’s electric version brings modern convenience and sustainability to its forerunner’s fashionable retro design. The 21st Century SM leaves the original interior and exterior intact, while sacrificing none of the car’s acclaimed comfort, speed, and power in the electrification process. Its appeal is to those who appreciate the beauty of the past yet seek the increased ease and dependability that today’s electric cars provide. This 21st Century SM has already been driven thousands of kilometers, demonstrating its long-range possibilities and Tesla-equivalent autonomy. It has been officially approved in Europe.
350km (real) range
500km with long range option available in some countries
Fast charging 100km per 20 minutes
Hervé Laurent
Ever since he can remember Hervé has been passionate about antique automobiles, which led to his first job: purchasing 1960s and 1970s cars in the U.S. for collectors worldwide. As he became increasingly concerned about the degradation of ecosystems, he began inventing products having a positive impact on the environment. Among the successful mass-market products that he has created and patented is Be Save, an innovative vacuum system that preserves food well beyond the normal time. He licensed Be Save to the French company Guy Demarle and implemented production for them.

Currently Hervé is renovating a classic sailing yacht, adding, among many other improvements, electric propulsion, and hydrogeneration whilst under sail.
Amédée Lictevout (Atelier Amédée)
Known in France’s Citroen collector world as one of the most reputable SM mechanics, Amédée, from a very young age, spent much time devising modifications and improvements to a variety of cars, and even created a
light racecar version of the SM.
For many years he installed LPG systems in old cars, and more recently he has been converting SMs with modern injection systems that allow better fuel efficiency, significantly-reduced pollution, and easier maintenance.
Recently Amédée and his wife Evelyne purchased and renovated a house in the countryside that is completely self-sufficient in energy and water.
