	Flaminio Bertoni / Automotive Designer (1903-1964) - Design/Designer Information
		Developing the Traction Avant was so expensive that it drained Citroën financially and, months after the launch, the company was taken over by the tyre maker Michelin.
		He conceived it to be completely different to the opulent Traction Avant with its voluptuous curves.
		Bertoni and Lefèbvre were already hard at work on the DS 19, the successor to the Traction Avant, which Boulanger billed as: “the world’s best, most beautiful, most comfortable and most advanced car”.

		Andre Citroën claimed that his new 1934 Citroën Traction Avant (front-wheel drive) was “10 years ahead of its time.” Perhaps 20 years might have been more accurate, because when it went out of production in 1957, it was still more modern in many ways than some of the cars of the ’50s.
		Consider this: The Traction Avant was powered by an overhead valve, wet-sleeve four cylinder engine, although some sixes would be used.
		The Traction was, in fact, such a bold technical initiative that it sapped the financial strength of the company, causing it to fall into the hands of its largest creditor, the Michelin Tire Co., in 1935.

	About the Traction Avant
		The Traction was built around the world, including Britain - where it was known as the Light Fifteen (Légère), the Big Fifteen (Normale) and the Big 6 (15CV) - and trimmed in wood and leather to appeal to more traditional anglo-saxon tastes.
		The Traction's sporty appearance became a familiar sight on the roads of both Britain and Europe.
		One of the first cars to be crash-tested, a Traction was chosen for a record bid in 1935 and driven 250,000 miles (400,000km) in a year, by a M. Lecot - a record which stands to this day.

		A l’époque, d’autres constructeurs ont déjà tenté la conception d’une automobile tirée par les essieux avant, comme l’Allemand Adler, mais avec un moteur trop imposant qui pénalise l’habitacle.
		Le défi technique de la traction avant était de faire reposer l’ensemble moteur-boîte de vitesses sur les roues avant, qui deviennent à la fois directrices et motrices.
