Citroen BX 4TC

The Citroen BX 4TC reaches 60 mph in 6.90 s and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.53 s, tripping the lights at 87.1 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.44 s and the eighth mile in 9.95 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the BX 4TC

The 1985 Citroen BX 4TC is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged car of 1,280 kg with 220 bhp, which works out at 172 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.44 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 2,347th quickest to 60 mph, and the 5th quickest of the 15 Citroens here. It leaves better than it pulls: 87.1 mph at the lights is only the 2,677th highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

What cars are comparable to the Citroen BX 4TC?
Closest here on pace: Iso Rivolta Lele IR6 (329 PS) (6.94 s), Reliant Scimitar 1800 Ti SS1 (6.80 s), Datsun 280-ZX Turbo (6.88 s). Each one can be raced against the Citroen BX 4TC in the panel at the top of this page.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Citroen BX 4TC is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 9 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
