If a 2CV were a computer, its CPU would be an 8080a.

No, it would be hand cranked with a steam power option. Closer to a
Babbit engine than an 8080.

More likely a 4004, with an 8008 in the sports version. And a 6501 in the GT.
The 8080A was much too hot for that tiny chassis.

it was charles babbage's difference engine that had a crank... regarded as
the first computer and on display in the british meseum of science in
london. ;)
