Overview
Debuting in 2001, the Citroën Xsara WRC quickly became the gold standard for performance and reliability in the World Rally Championship. Initially a partial-season entrant, it hit full stride in 2003 when Sébastien Loeb began his run of dominance. The Xsara was competitive on all surfaces, winning tarmac, gravel, and snow events with equal ease. Its balanced chassis, potent turbocharged engine, and advanced active differentials made it a benchmark car of the decade.
