Citroën Visa Challenger GT
INTRODUCTION
Citroën Visa Challenger GT was a car produced by the French car manufacturer Citroën between 1978 and 1988.
Citroën Visa Challenger GT was above the Citroën LN in the brand’s production range as a more expensive version of the small car. It had more powerful engines and higher equipment with more comfort.
SUCCESS
Like perhaps all of the brand’s cars, the Visa had a body with an interesting stylistic concept. While its front half, apart from the typical radiator grille, was somewhat similar to the “competitive” Renault 14, the flowing rear undoubtedly belonged to Citroën and, especially with the shape of the fenders, was reminiscent of the GS type.
The model on display is the most powerful limited edition Challenger GT.
