Model history
The Citroën C4G was introduced in 1931 as the final development stage of the C4 series and was produced until 1932. With its 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine, it produced around 32 hp and reached a top speed of around 95 km/h. A special feature was the introduction of the "Moteur Flottant" (vibration-decoupled engine), which reduced vibrations and significantly improved driving comfort. The C4G was available in various body variants, including saloon, roadster and commercial vehicle versions. Its robust construction also made it suitable for expeditions such as the "Croisière Jaune" through Asia. The C4G marked the end of the C4 series, before the more modern Rosalie series was introduced in 1932.

Comments of this past auction
Technik: Der Citroën C4 ist ein Pkw der Mittelklasse des französischen Autoherstellers Citroën. Der C4 wurde im Oktober 1928 erstmals auf dem Automobilsalon in Paris vorgestellt und von 1928 bis 1932 als Nachfolger des Citroën Typ B14 gebaut. Der C4 hatte einen Vierzylinder-Reihenmotor mit 1628 cm³ Hubraum und erreichte eine Höchstgeschwindigkeit von 90 km/h. Vom C4 abgeleitet wurde 1929 der Citroën C6. Bis 1932 wurden 121.000 Exemplare produziert und der C4 zusammen mit dem C6 vom Citroën Rosalie abgelöst. Als Nachfolgemodelle des Typs B14 wurden C4 (zwischen 1928 und 1932) und C6 (1928) zeitweise auch im deutschen Citroën-Produktionswerk in Köln-Poll montiert, wo 1932–1934 auch deren Nachfolgemodell, die von 1932 bis 1938 produzierte Citroën Rosalie in der Ausführung Ganz Deutsch gefertigt wurde.
