What car has a triangle and a lightning bolt logo?
1 Answers
A triangle and a lightning bolt is the logo of DS Automobiles, a subsidiary of Citroën. Here are some key features of DS: 1. Hydropneumatic Suspension System: DS was the first car to use a hydropneumatic suspension system. Before this, springs were used for vehicle shock absorption, presenting a dilemma where sportiness and comfort couldn't be balanced. This breakthrough technology offered a viable solution. 2. Transmission and Clutch: When the brake button is pressed, the engine speed is adjusted below the clutch engagement speed via brake hydraulic and electrical circuits. This prevents unnecessary gear wear at red lights. Upon releasing the brake, the engine idle speed increases, engaging the clutch for normal forward movement. In an era when most cars only had manual transmissions, this design was undoubtedly innovative and convenient.
