About the Citroen CX 2400 GTi Regate Blue Norev 1:18

TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 diecast Citroen CX 2400 GTi in Regate Blue reproduces the 1977 fuel-injected performance flagship of Citroen's aerodynamic DS successor. Distinctive concave rear window styling and hydropneumatic-era engineering suit a 1970s French classics shelf.

Citroen designed the CX to carry forward the DS's aerodynamic and hydropneumatic engineering philosophy into a new generation, and the GTi variant added genuine fuel-injected performance to that already distinctive package.

Diecast Detail on the CX's Unusual Silhouette

The CX's most distinctive feature, a concave rear window designed specifically to keep the glass clear in wet weather without a wiper, needs precise tooling to read correctly rather than looking like a moulding error, and Norev's diecast work resolves that unusual curve cleanly. Regate Blue suits the CX's confident, forward-thinking design language, and the finish carries enough depth to flatter the car's smooth, wedge-shaped profile without competing with its already striking silhouette. Panel lines around the long doors and distinctive tailgate stay consistent, appropriate for a car whose entire design was built around genuine aerodynamic function rather than decoration.

Continuing the DS's Engineering Philosophy

The CX inherited the DS's hydropneumatic self-levelling suspension and continued Citroen's commitment to genuinely unconventional, aerodynamically driven design at a time when most rivals were settling into more conservative, boxy saloon shapes. The GTi variant pushed that formula further with fuel injection, giving the range a genuine performance flagship that matched its distinctive styling with equally serious mechanical ambition. A model of the CX 2400 GTi captures Citroen's engineering identity carried forward into a new generation rather than diluted for broader market appeal.

Positioning the CX in a French Classics Collection

This CX works well alongside its DS predecessor or other 1970s French classics, where its distinctive aerodynamic styling continues a design conversation the DS had already started.
