About the Citroen ZX Kitcar #15 J. Puras / C. Del Barrio Rally Catalunya Costa Brava 1997 Otto 1:18

TL;DR: Otto's 1:18 resin Citroen ZX Kitcar recreates the #15 J. Puras / C. Del Barrio entry from the 1997 Rally Catalunya Costa Brava. The sealed body has no opening panels, holding the Kit Car category's aggressive aero as one continuous casting. A distinctive Kit Car-era piece for a 1990s rally shelf.

The Kit Car category gave front-wheel-drive hatchbacks like the ZX a genuine World Rally Championship presence during the mid-1990s, and Jesus Puras's home-soil Catalunya entry documents that formula at its competitive peak.

Resin Casting of a Kit Car's Aggressive Aero

Kit Car regulations allowed extensive aerodynamic modification within a production-based silhouette, and the ZX's flared arches, deep front splitter, and rear wing all demand sharp, well-defined edges to read correctly at 1:18. Cast resin handles that dense aero package cleanly, and because this body is sealed with no moving parts, the entire aggressive bodywork sits as one continuous shell, with shut lines running as tight, even grooves that keep the period Citroen livery's sponsor graphics aligned across the doors without interruption.

Puras and Citroen's Kit Car Era

Jesus Puras built a strong reputation on Spanish soil, and Rally Catalunya Costa Brava, run largely on tarmac through his home region, suited his driving style particularly well. The Kit Car category's front-wheel-drive, naturally-aspirated formula offered a genuinely different competitive proposition from the four-wheel-drive turbocharged cars dominating the top World Rally Championship class at the time.

A Distinctive Kit Car Piece

This ZX works well within a broader Kit Car era collection, its front-wheel-drive layout and aggressive aero offering a useful contrast against the four-wheel-drive machinery that shared the same events.
