  The Citroën Petite Rosalie has a very interesting history and it set a staggering world record that is still untouched today. It was launched on the Montlhéry autodrome in March 15, 1932. The goal was to set a new long distance world record where time played no role… Its average speed was satisfactory, due to its aerodynamic body. After some stops, due to the ACF Grand Prix and the Women Grand Prix taking place on the same track, André Citroën waved the checkered flag to stop the Petite Rosalie on July 27TH. The Petite Rosalie had covered 300.000 km (186.411,36 miles) in 134 days at an average speed of more than 93 km/h. It had beaten 106 world records and 191 International records. With the Citroën Petite Rosalie the French car maker had made its remarkably successful first steps in motor racing. Before that, Citroën can claim to have invented the raid concept with the crossing of the Sahara in 1922 and the famous Croisière Noire in 1924 and Croisière Jaune in 1931. Although strictly speaking these expeditions were not races, they would go on to inspire the Paris-Dakar rally, which Peugeot and Citroën cars have won several times. The Citroën Petite Rosalie was born from a partnership with Yacco oils, the oil brand that Citroën used for there cars. Yacco oils had always been at the leading edge of technology and the company was already present in many races when it joined forces with Citroën to take up the challenge and take over new speed records. After quite satisfactory results in 1931 with the C6G and C6F cars, Yacco and André Citroën decided to set up a new promotional operation to advertise their products. An 8CV chassis was taken at random from the JAVEL factory and was sent to César Marchand, the chief driver, to be specially prepared. At the beginning of March the car was ready. On March 15th, at 3.29 pm, The 8, soon nicknamed Petite Rosalie, was launched on the Montlhéry banking. Its average speed was satisfactory, due to its aerodynamic body. Five ACF officials and eight timekeepers kept a close eye on the operations. After some stops, due to the ACF Grand Prix and the Women Grand Prix taking place on the same track, André Citroën waved the checkered flag to stop the Petite Rosalie on July 27TH. The Petite Rosalie had covered 300.000 km in 134 days at an average speed of more than 93 km/h. It had beaten 106 world records and 191 International records… A whole string of Rosalie cars followed to improve these results. After the first records set by Rosalie I and Rosalie II, André Citroën offered 1 million francs to any manufacturer who could beat his cars. After the achievements of Rosalie IV, André Citroën even offered 3 millions francs. But nobody even tried to beat this record.

  Saab heeft daarmee 2 wereldrecords verbroken en er is eigenlijk niks echt stuk gegaan. Zoals je al zei fabrieksautos door de fia gecheckt

  Met de 3 liter turbo diesel kan je denk ik herkansen op 200d non stop zonder problemen die zijn onverwoestbaar

  Saab flikte iets dergelijks geloof ik met fabrieksstandaard auto’s in Talladega 100.000km met gemiddeld ook fors boven de 200 (inclusief pitstops etc)
