Loading ...and a great little car I had . In the mid-60’s the French car manufacturer Panhard went out of business and the assets were taken over by Citroen . More than ten years later I was living in Belgium and bought a Citroen GS , powered by a very efficient air cooled opposed flat four ‘Panhard’ engine . I had been traveling in Italy on vacation with the family and was returning via Lake Como and Lugano . At the time , you could put cars on a piggyback flatcar for the rail trip through the Gotthard tunnel . You stayed in your car , and the tunnel was cool , so the windows steamed up badly on the inside until you got to the other end and could open the windows again ( No A/C on that car ). I was once late for an appointment in Germany and buried the tach in the red for a full hour on the autobahn – no problem , no damage ! Amazing for an air cooled engine . An air-cooled VW Beetle would have been spitting valves or connecting rods at those rpm’s for that length of time.
