The Citroën Zabrus was a concept car of a 2+2 shooting brake design with three doors which was designed by the car manufacturer Bertone.[1] It was based on the mechanics of the Citroën BX 4TC. It was first presented in May 1986 at the Turin Motor Show.[2] The hatchback of the Citroën BX itself was based on a design by Bertone.[3]
Some unique features, of the car were the all LCD monitor display, for odometer, gauges etc. The car also included a “belt type” steering wheel that used to rotate in either direction while mounted on the main display. The Citroën Zabrus is a shooting brake with a design of 2+2 seating configuration, with two scissor doors upfront for easy access to the rear seats.[4]
The Zabrus was powered by the 2141 cc turbocharged I4 engine from the BX 4TC, producing 147 kW (197 hp; 200 PS) at 5250 rpm and 294 N⋅m (217 lb⋅ft) of torque at 2750 rpm. Like the 4TC, the Zabrus is all wheel drive and power is sent to the wheels through the five speed manual transmission. This setup gave it the top speed of 138 mph (222 km/h).[5]
