Description

Five of the WEIRDEST French cars ever built—and number one had no doors, two seats, and a seating arrangement that looked more like a tandem bicycle than a car. From the bizarre 1977 Matra Rancho and Peugeot 1007 with its electric sliding doors to the futuristic Citroën SM and the mid-engine Renault 5 Turbo, French automakers clearly weren't afraid to experiment. But at number one, the 2012 Renault Twizy takes weirdness to another level. With two people sitting one behind the other, no standard doors, and just 17 horsepower, this tiny electric quadricycle looked like nothing else on the road. Five cars. Five strange ideas. And proof that French automotive design has never been afraid to break the rules. Which one is the weirdest? #FrenchCars #WeirdCars #RenaultTwizy #Renault5Turbo #CitroenSM #Peugeot1007 #MatraRancho #EuropeanCars #ClassicCars #CarFacts #AutomotiveHistory #CarHistory #UnusualCars #RareCars #FrenchAutomotive #CarDesign #WeirdCars #CarShorts #YouTubeShorts #Shorts
