Group B rallying was known for its wild cars and extreme performance, but not every attempt was a success. This week on The Gated Shift, we delve into the bizarre and ultimately tragic story of the Citroën BX 4TC, a car that dared to be different, and failed spectacularly. Based on the unassuming BX family hatchback, the 4TC was Citroën's unlikely entry into the world of Group B. We'll explore its unconventional engineering, including the infamous hydropneumatic suspension (shared with the legendary Citroën DS) and a severely underpowered, awkwardly placed engine. We'll also uncover the car's disastrous rally career, its embarrassing lack of success, and Citroën's reported attempts to buy back and destroy the few road-going examples they produced. Join us for a tale of ambition, miscalculation, and a car that became a legend for all the wrong reasons.
