At a prestigious Broad Arrow auction in Italy, a unique sports car - Citroen ZX Rally RAID 1990, was put up for sale, for which they plan to receive from 475 to 525 thousand euros. This car has already made history as the most expensive Citroen of all time, and that's why.
Citroen Zx Rally Raid is not just a regular serial car. This model is a special racing version that has dominated the most prestigious race several times, including the famous marathon rally "Paris-Dakar". This car four times (in 1991, 1994, 1995 and 1996) won this most severe rail event. In addition, from 1993 to 1997, Citroen ZX Rally Raid won the World Cup for five years.
This sports car has nothing to do with Citroen ZX serial. It is a medium -motility, all -wheel drive compartment with a body made of composite materials to reduce weight and increase strength. In addition, it has a significantly strengthened suspension, increased clearance, differential blocking, and a large fee that adds aerodynamic efficiency on the route to the car. Citroen Zx Rally Raid is equipped with a powerful 2.5-liter turbochart, which issues 320 horsepower. This machine also has a 7-speed mechanical gearbox that allows you to reach a maximum speed of 205 km/h-an excellent indicator for the car, which is designed to overcome complex rally distances. The specific instance of the Citroen ZX Rally Raid, which was auctioned, participated in the Paris-Dacar rally three times. Although he did not win, his best result is sixth. After the sports car has completed his career on the rally, he was transferred to the Citroen Museum, where he became an exhibit, reminiscent of the glorious stage history of the car.
Due to its unique history, rareness and sports achievements, Citroen ZX Rally Raid has become one of the most desirable lots at auctions, and is now a great opportunity for collectors and vehicles to buy part of history.
