In 1993 Jean Luc Pailler and Citroën developed a Xantia turbo 4×4 to replace his successful BX turbo 4×4 which he had driven in the European and French RallyCross championships. This car had evolved through the years and will be driven by Jean Luc until at least the year 2000. He won the European championship with the Xantia in 1993 and became French champion in 1993, 1994 and 1995

XANTIA TURBO 4x4 RALLYCROSS

In 1993 Jean Luc Pailler and Citroen developed a Xantia turbo 4x4 to replace his successful BX turbo 4x4 which he had driven in the European and French RallyCross championships. This car had evolved through the years and will be driven by Jean Luc until at least the year 2000. He won the European championship with the Xantia in 1993 and became French champion in 1993, 1994 and 1995 and has subsequently won even more races.

At the start, while still driving a BX, a white Xantia was used having been resprayed completely blood-red. The engine the team fitted was the superb BX 1905cc 16Valve turbo delivering a staggering 550hp. The power was upped to 650hp in 1997 and nearly 700hp in 1999. By that time, the cubic capacity had been increased to 1998cc. In the 1999 season the car received a new paint-job - yellow and blue.

Not only the engine changed through the years, also the car's appearance. The body became wider and wider and the air/cooling inlets larger and larger. The hydropneumatic suspension parts are specially made for Jean Luc in a special Citroen factory
