Known for its iconic style and ingenious engineering, the Citroën DS is regarded by many as the greatest car of the 20th century. What affectionate nickname did the French give to the car?

In French, the DS model name is pronounced almost exactly like the word déesse, meaning "goddess." Citroën must have been in on the pun, because in 1965 they released a more luxurious version of the DS named Pallas after the Greek goddess Pallas Athena.
