The Axel was a rebadged version of the small Oltcit hatchback. Three specifications were available: Axel 11, Axel 11R and Axel 12 TRS. They were powered by the air-cooled engines from the Citroën GS/GSA.
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.
