This cheese counter should be unique, but it has not been installed in the US for whatever reason - they used another (very ugly) front.
If you take a closer look at the headlamps this could be a further hint.

Eichhörnchen was on the right path - the six headlamps (lights?) all move up and down to remain level when the car moves in its suspension, the inner full/high(?) beam lamps also move sideways in curves to illuminate the car's path.

The car also sports a hydraulic suspension, so no steel springs or shock absorbers.
It drives very soft and effortless, the 'Diravi' steering is one turn in either direction for full turn and self-centering, and the brakes have to be touched very lightly.

The built-in engine somehow does not suit this layout - a six cylinder V engine arranged at 90 degrees by Maserati that rumbles and is thoroughly uncomfortable. Citroen had just bought Maserati and installed the Merak engine for the lack of an own six cylinder unit.

We won a vintage rallye in 2017 with it, against cars like Porsche and Ferrari, i guess they did not have the nerve to cruise at a hundred+ miles along bad rural roads..

It all is a catastrophe to repair, maintain and find parts
The front "cheese counter" is especially hard to come by and expensive. It was forbidden in the US so the front of US SMs looks different.






sound starts at 2.55 into the video:



Over to you!

That's a beauty! That cover over the lamps are rather unique.


Ok, what is this a part of?




Finally I won so that I can concentrate on my job for a while and not google howitzers, classic cars and piles of stones all day...
May it take you atleast two days.
