The Citroen Xsara is a French passenger car that was first presented to the public in 1997. Its serial production started in the same year and continued until 2006. The car was powered by a relatively wide range of gasoline and diesel engines - depending on the version - with a capacity of 1.4 to 2.0 liters and a maximum power of 75 to 163 HP.
The Xsara model was developed and put into mass production by the PSA automotive concern, the owner of the Citroen brand, in order to replace the ZX model. Compared to its predecessor, it differed in several elements - most of all, a more streamlined body style, a changed range of available power units and available equipment. The car was offered as a 3- and 5-door hatchback, and in the Xsara Picasso version (offered since 1999) as a 5-door station wagon. The car was not only quite successful on the market, but also turned out to be one of the best rally cars at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries! The Citroen Xsara WRC has won the Constructors 'World Championship three times for the Citroen Total World Really Team, and Sebastian Loeb has won the World Rally Drivers' Championship three times in 2004, 2005 and 2006.
Renault Magnum is essentially a collective name for a family of French trucks and tractors, the first representative of which was presented to the public in 1990. Serial production started in the same year and continued until 2013. It was concentrated primarily in a factory in the city Bourg-en-Bresse in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of south-eastern France. The Renault Magnum made its debut on the commercial market in 1990 and relatively quickly gained popularity there. In total, four generations of this truck went into production. The first one, called Magnum AE, was manufactured in 1990-1997, the second (called Magnum Integral) in 1997-2002, the third called Magnum Millenium in 2002-2008, and finally the fourth - Magnum New Dimensions - from 2008 to 2013. The Magnum series cars were powered by engines ranging from 385 HP to 520 HP. One of the most characteristic elements of Renault Magnum was the very high level of driver's comfort and spaciousness of the cabin. For many years it was one of the main competitive advantages of the presented truck. It is worth adding that in 1991 Renault Magnum won the prestigious "International Truck of The Year" award.
