History
Histomobile records the BX Sport as an engine conversion carried out by Danielson, rated at 125 hp and introduced in 1985. It started as a limited production and was then listed in the regular sales catalogue. In 1987 it was replaced by the BX GTi, also rated at 125 hp, and a 16-valve version with 160 hp joined it.
Motor Sport notes that one of the prototypes built for the BX 4TC rally programme resembled the later BX Sport and GTi in style.
