Welcome to Weird Wheels, the home of the weird, wacky and the wondrously stupid awful ideas the automotive industry has thought up.

From Motorcycles, Tricycles, Unicycles, One Wheel, Two Wheels or a Monowheel. Ugly, fugly, weird or the endeared! The confusing, cruising or even the amusing.

This community has it all!

It really looks like it'd have been easier to design, manufacture, and more functional, if they had left that bit in, in the rear, instead of cutting it out.

Indeed, but then it wouldn't be a proper Citroën.

It's what we love about French cars. Dare to be weird.

Right? I'd assume it would be terrible for aerodynamics too. Still, it does look pretty cool imo.
