Citroën CX GTI. Light blue version

The Citroën CX is a large, front-engined, front-wheel-drive executive car manufactured and marketed by Citroën from 1974 to 1991. Production models took the form of a four-door fastback sedan, station wagon (estate), and a long-wheelbase fastback limousine.

Voted the 1975 European Car of the Year, the CX has been described by some enthusiasts as the last “real Citroën” before Peugeot took control of the company in 1976. The CX was also the final successful model of the “big Citroën” era, dating back to 1934.

In 1977, the CX GTi received a modern Bosch L-Jetronic injection system, with 128 PS (94 kW).

In 1985, the GTi Turbo petrol model, with a top speed of over 220 km/h (137 mph), gave the CX the powerful engine that finally used the full capabilities of the chassis.
