Citroen BX 4TC Evo - The Titanic of Group. B 1986
BX 4TC story, in action.
It was a brave project and most unique car in Group B rally. After very fast developement, the untested BX was thrown in rally rivers. Despite old monocoque concept, missing centre diff and heavy weight, it was powerfull monstrosity on track. It was the only car that didnt used conventional springs but fully hydropneumatic suspension and the DIRAVI degressive assisted steering system from CX.
The best place was on second race in sweden. After 1986, the group B cars was banned and 4TC was left unsuccesfull in history.
BX as a model was very succesfull family car. And won 3x French championship and one international championship in rallycross group.N.
Error : Navigator was not Jean Baptiste Vieu, but Jean Bernard Vieu ..

Citroen’s BX was a popular car but it is a shame that the BX4TC never went on to be a great rally car. !

BX and BX 4TC didnt had much in common. There was succesfull BX, and it was BX 2000 Rallycross version from Jean-Luc Pailler. Its still alive.

Hi LimoZina, I agree with you, and I also remember Jean luc driving his BX in the rallycross round brands hatch (not 💯% certain) but I certainly do remember Jean luc driving his Citroen XM there and hope had a hub failure on one of the corners. However when I said that it was a popular car, I actually was referring to the road car and and in particular the estate, as with the clever suspension system I can see why .
Oh belle voiture TC 4 bravo citroen

Had Group B carried on,Im sure this car would have evolved with less weight and adjustable 4wd and more power.Maybe the way the quattro sport went and cut out the wheelbase too!Still awesome though.
I think that this kind of car could've had success in longer rallies, where reliability and ruggedness would've been important (Safari, Greece, Ivory Coast etc). Afterall, it had bulletproof engine, but the suspension couldn't take the stress due the clunky 4-wheel drive and weigh distribution. They should've left the completition in fast rallies for others, who had much more specialized cars.
Nekem volt 1,9 GTi 16V BX-em, Ausztriából hoztam be alkatrészenként és itthon ráépítettem egy kiégett BX papírjaira. Nagyon szerettem. Bár túl erős volt szerintem a tömegéhez képest.
What a beautiful car ❤
Unique Citroen.😍
All the footage I see of this car, it’s always in snow
An innovative idea ruined by an underpowered engine mounted in the front, and no centre diff.

Yes, but it will cost you more than brand new supersport with double power :D
Can you please post the titles of the music in the video? Thanks.

This was just stupid, what were they thinking...front heavy, long nose turd with low power, bad diffs, wrong 4x4 ratio (front/back). If they only had made it RIGHT... i have BX gti, great daily driver
