About the Business

Introduced in 1934, the Traction Avant was recognised as being one of the most revolutionary cars available. Along with front wheel drive it incorporated unitary construction, torsion bar suspension and hydraulic brakes, all on a mass produced family car. It had a three-speed gearbox mounted ahead of the engine in the nose of the car, and the drive went through CV-jointed drive shafts to torsion-bar-suspended front wheels; this was cutting-edge technology in those days. By the standard of 1934, its road-holding was almost unbelievably good, albeit at the expense of heavy steering.
