The Citroën Axel was a supermini automobile produced between 1984 and 1990 and developed in co-operation by Citroën of France and Oltcit, a joint venture company with the Romanian government.
The Axel was a rebadged version of the small Oltcit Club hatchback. Four specifications were available: Axel Club, Axel 11, Axel 11R and Axel 12 TRS. They were powered by the air-cooled engines from the Citroën GS/GSA and a air-cooled flat-twin engine from the Citroën Visa. The Axel Club was only avaible in Romania
It was derived from the Prototype Y of the early 1970s, which was intended to become the Citroën Visa until Peugeot took over Citroën (forming the PSA Group) and required the new model to be based on the Peugeot 104. At this point the Visa came to be based on the 104, whilst the later Oltcit was built based on the original Prototype Y plans.[1] Thus the five-door Visa and the three-door Axel look very similar, but there is no part exchangeable between these two Citroën models.
