A 2CV Citroen truck is synonymous with diminutive two cylinders power-plant and hydropneumatic self levelling suspension as the reliable work horse for French farmer. Yet a rare Maranello red 2CV Citroen truck has instead of hydropneumatic is fitted with sport performance KONI Coilover on its four corners.
KONI is one of famous automotive brands in shock absorber segment and mostly associated with sport cars maker such Ferraris and Lamborghinis. The brand has earned its reputation from inventing the first adjustable shock since mid 1940s.
A simple turn atop the unit would make miles of driving mode differences ranging from comfortable road ride to hard charged racing. In another word twisting the knob in one direction firms up the damping, where as turning it the other way around loosens the damping forces; hence enabling driver to fine tune her car’s handling.
Every KONI Shock
is purposefully designed and manufactured to the highest tolerance precision as such that each shock has a lifetime warranty; the kind of manufacturing precision which could effectively prevent leak-down inside to provide equal and consistent dampening forces regardless of the load or the terrain.

KONI Coilover is the premium suspension component with high degree of adjustability on both dampening settings and the spring perch which means the firmness of suspension as well as the ride height of your vehicle could be tailored to suit; a total control of your suspension settings. For example one driver may desire to have a car that assumes an over-steering or alternatively another driver for under-steering attitude when entering a turn.
This is a far cry handling transformation which might put you to delay your Antique Cars For Sale on hold; transforming your wallowing Antique Cars to perhaps an ultimate driving experiences. Resembling the ultimate driving of the said mid engined 2CV Citroen truck.
The red 2CV nicknamed 2CV NIMIK was built upon a spare lying around 1995 Ferarri 355 chassis.

the 2CV never had the hydropneumatic suspension system..it had horizontally placed coil springs, arranged so that there were front and rear interaction, same philosophy as BMC used on thir hydrolastic models. But the 2CV didnt have hydropneumtaic syspension, coil springs, coil springs, coil springs...Article must be written by an american high school student...
..finally somebody have awaken up!
Leisure Drive has had a brief driving moment with GS Club (http://car-leisure.blogspot.com/2009/08/80s-collector-car-3.html), and presumably think they both shares similar system....
Thanks for the correction!
