Launch and Production Span
The GS debuted in August 1970 and was marketed continuously until 1986, covering two series. From 1970 to 1979 it was built as a fastback, establishing its reputation as a technical marvel at launch.
Series Evolution – From GS to GSA
In 1979 the model transitioned to the GSA series, extending production through 1986. This change marked a new generation while retaining the core identity of the original GS.
Innovative Design and Legacy
At its introduction the GS was only available as a Berline, with the first trim levels named "Confort" and "Club," both powered by a 1015 cc boxer engine. Though rare in the UK today, the gearbox is noted for its reliability, and dedicated parts suppliers in Germany and the UK keep the classic alive.
