French title
Chassis n ° 05ME 2090
- One of the best European road cars of the era
- Distinctive design, high performance
- Rare in GTi version, aviation styled dashboard
The CX 2400 GTi appeared in 1977, powered by Bosch L Jetronic injection, with the engine now developing 128bhp, with the help of an electronic ignition, which gave the car a top speed of 185 km/ h. A 5-speed gearbox was also fitted as standard, as well as fog lamps and attractive light alloy rims. Body moldings were matte black to give it a sportier look in keeping with its new GTi title. New wrap-around seats with openwork headrests were also adopted. In 1979, the CX came of age and its future was secure. A few detail changes are on the catalog such as the adoption of a new center console topped by a spherical rotating ashtray dubbed "the frog" and standard rear seat belts.
The car on offer was mechanically serviced in 2016 by the Dupleix garage in Choisy le Roi and then regularly maintained at Cuir & Chromes in Gargenville. It took part in the historic Monte Carlo rally and its Citroën heritage certificate is on record in the file.
