The Citroën BX 4TC 1986: A Unique Piece in Automotive History
The Citroën BX 4TC, a vehicle produced from 1986 to 1988, was part of the BX series by the French automaker Citroën. This model was the street version of the homonymous rally car developed for the Group B of the Rally World Championship. While the racing version was designed for competition, the street version was offered in limited quantities, making it a sought-after collector's item today.
The original Citroën BX 4TC was equipped with a 2.1-liter turbo engine delivering 200 horsepower. Based on the fourth generation produced from 1986 to 1988, the car offered impressive performance for its time. Interestingly, the hydropneumatic suspension system, a hallmark of many Citroën models of that era, was also integrated into the BX 4TC, providing an exceptionally comfortable ride. The BX 4TC was an unusual car with a unique design developed by Citroën engineers and designers, including Marc Deschamps and Jean-Claude Lagardère.
