The Citroen 2CV featured an air cooled 375cc engine. It made 9bhp and was a 4 stroke motor. 2 Cylinders if I'm right?

As a bonus question, what was the inspiration for the Citroen logo? ;)

The history behind the Citroen badge itself stems from one of the automotive world's greatest innovations, and one that is still used in almost every car on the road today - the helical gear. Prior to the advent of the helical gear, gearboxes were much more difficult to use and were generally unreliable. On top of this they were noisy and made the driving experience uncomfortable for both drivers and pedestrians. The helical gear changed all this, and gave us the smooth power transfer between gears that is featured in modern cars.

The logo itself resembles the herringbone pattern along the gear, and it is from this that Citroen took its famous chevron badge and applied it to its cars.
