The Citroën 2CV (French: "deux chevaux" is an air-cooled front-engine, front-wheel-drive economy car introduced at the 1948 Paris Mondial de l'Automobile and manufactured by Citroën for model years 1948–1990.

Pitch-forward/backward Roll-steering
AG1-Lights

Conceived by Citroën Vice-President Pierre Boulanger to help motorize the large number of farmers still using horses and carts in 1930s France, the 2CV has a combination of innovative engineering and utilitarian, straightforward metal bodywork—initially corrugated for added strength without added weight. The 2CV featured low cost, simplicity of overall maintenance, an easily serviced air-cooled engine (originally offering 9 hp), low fuel consumption, and an extremely long-travel suspension offering a soft ride and light off-road capability.

The incredible suspension system:

    2cv suspen concept
    I've built the suspension of this car a while ago(with the self-adjusting mechanism like the real one), and I think you might be interested in it.
