The BX 4TC represents Citroën’s attempt at engaging into World Rally Championship at the time of the famous Group B era. For homologation, the manufacturer had to produce 200 cars and consequently developed a road version on the base of the BX, powered by a turbocharged 2141cc engine developing 200bhp, with a four-wheel-drive system.
On the “Evolution” version for the official team, the specifications were more sporting and max power reached 380bhp, yet it wasn’t good enough and the BX 4TC was finally withdrawn from the championship.
Total production, executed at Heuliez, would total up to just 86 units, though the cars were to have been destroyed by Citroen, under the supervision of a bailiff. Rumor though says that Citroën offered the owners of the “4TC” to buy them back at twice their value.
Whatever be the truth, it is unquestionably a very rare model, of which only forty examples are said to remain.

We seem to have some strange psychic connection Steve. First the Mega Track, and now this wonderful failure of a rally car.

Care to make something similar about the Mitsubishi Starion group b car? :D
That’s a good looking automobile
i like the built in rally lights
BX 4TC Dash
It seems like more rally cars should have done that with the lights, instead of adding those high-drag, visibility-reducing bolt-on ones.
Well, attempt is a good word.
That car’s awesome! Imagine trying to explain to people that your car’s actually cool and rare.
