The year is 1971, you are shopping for a new car, looking for something expensive and nice to show that nice promotion you got at Goldberg, Goldberg & Goldberg. Now, you could go for one of the traditional options, like the new Moonhawk. Or you can look across the aisle, look on the weirder side of things, like the '71 lineup from the Centurion Motor Corporation, from... France? Yes. Thats their gimmick you see, French engineering, applied towards American tastes. Big, floaty cars, built on flat engines, using torsion beam rear suspensions aided by fancy hydropneumatic struts and shocks. Sort of like if Andre Citroen had left an unrecognized child who went to the US while still following his dad's steps. For '71 they introduced their new, refreshed lineup. On the right, the SB437, on the right, the SP437. Now, you ask, what does the 437 stand for? Well, thats the denomination of their new for '71 engine, their 437ci pushrod Flat 6, fuel injected engine producing somewhere between 240 to 290hp, and a whole lot of torque. Just dont ask about fuel mileage, because there is none. '71 is also the first year for the PowerTrack transaxle, which allows the 437ci engine to be installed transversely to power the front wheels. What this means to the customer is that the vehicle can be narrower, easier to repair as well as have zero cabin intrusion from any of the powertrain components. New for '71 is also the SP variant, which stands for "Special Performance". The special performance package includes a different bodystyle, reinforced structure as well as improvements to the engine which increase performance taking the 0-100km/h down to 6.7 seconds, despite the 1.9 ton weight
