Rallye of Maroco 1971

Rallye of Maroco 1971

Like any self-respecting GT, the SM proved its sporting nature in racing competition. The SM scored a resounding success on its first outing, at the Morocco rally, where a production model finished first in group 4. Spectators were suitably impressed by the new-born’s performance!

But beyond its impressive rally career, the SM is most often associated with a competition that it almost took part in. The SM was scheduled to race in the 1972 Le Mans 24 Hours event, but unfortunately, its participation was cancelled at the very last minute.
