The Citroën B2 10 HP model K1 was the first car to cross the Sahara in December 1922. It was the command vehicle of an expedition initiated by André Citroën, and commanded by George-Marie Haardt and Louis Audouin-Dubreuil. Accompanied by four other vehicles of the same type, the Golden Scarab crossed the Sahara in 21 days (from December 17, 1922 to January 7, 1923), covering 3,200 kilometers, not marked, between Touggourt and Timbuktu.
