*Citroën GS Birotor – 1974
No registration title
Unveiled in October 1973 and launched in March 1974, the GS Birotor was on the market for less than a year. Its Wankel engine housed two rotors, enabling it to achieve a displacement of close to 2.0 litres, with performance worthy of the liveliest sports saloons.
The engine is mated to a C-Matic transmission.
The Birotor takes its aerodynamic shape from the GS. However, it has been given a little more presence thanks to a few judicious tweaks. The bodywork is often painted in two tones, further underlining its elitist character.
Fuel consumption was the main drawback of the rotary engine, and the first oil crisis was the death knell for the Birotor. In all, only 874 examples were made, making it an extremely rare model.
The cars were then bought back by Citroën or exchanged, then destroyed or given to staff members or collectors. The rotary club now lists around a hundred vehicles on the road.
Originally from France, our example was imported into Switzerland in 2006. It underwent a major restoration costing over €26,000.
The two-tone bodywork was repainted and the upholstery restored.
A number of mechanical parts have also been replaced.
With just 39,106 km on the odometer, its mechanicals have been made reliable and are now in very good working order.
