The 1.290 c.c. Rush engine is used on all the other cars in the 1962 Simca line: the 52 b.h.p. at 4,900 r.p.m. Rush engine on the economy "Etoile" and the "Elysee": the Rush Super, developing 70 b.h.p. at 5,200 r.p.m. on the "Montlhéry Speciale" (formerly known as the "Montlhéry), the "Monaco Spéciale", the "Oceane" and the "Plein Ciel": the Rush Super developing 62 b.h.p. at 5,200 r.p.m. on the large Ariane Miramas, Standard, Super Luxe or Super Comfort, and the Castel brake; and the Rush Service engine, developing 48 b.h.p. at 4.900 r.p.m. on the "Messagere" and "Intendante" Chatelaine utilities. All these cars share other Simca features: a rigid, all-welded frame, a simple, yet well designed suspension system.
