Bear in mind when the previous model of TopGear, which featured none aside from Jeremy Clarkson, James Could, and Richard Hammond, persistently made enjoyable of the three-wheeled Reliant Robin?

It was a automobile (roughly) that, admittedly, was asking for some hassle, with its single entrance wheel, so the British TV automobile present made probably the most of it by flipping lots of them on their facet, generally whenever you least anticipated it.

However the trendy Citroen Ami has the posh of 4 wheels and a low middle of gravity, courtesy of its floor-mounted 5.5 kilowatt-hours battery pack. So in idea, it needs to be much more secure than the previous UK-made three-wheeler, however because the video under reveals, it can also take successful when pushed onerous.

Measuring in at simply 7.9 ft (2.41 meters) lengthy and 4.6 ft (1.39 m) large, the little French microcar apparently had a wannabe racing driver on the wheel, who needed to tackle the well-known Grand Resort hairpin that is a part of the Monaco Components 1 Grand Prix.

And whereas the uphill try was incident-free, the second, downhill strive was the one which put the Ami on its facet, after the tiny wheels struggled for grip and ultimately caught some air. The Citroen smashed into the sidewalk poles and no pedestrians had been harm, however it’s unclear what occurred to the motive force, though contemplating the comparatively low pace this occurred at, we’re hoping for zero accidents on this case.

The Grand Resort hairpin is likely one of the slowest corners of the Monaco Grand Prix, with F1 vehicles generally slowing down to simply 30 miles per hour (48 kilometers per hour), so it is no surprise a cube-shaped automobile just like the Citroen Ami went on its facet as a result of it was pushed too onerous right here.

And in case you had been questioning why did not the digital nannies cease this crash from taking place, effectively, there are not any: the French microcar would not have traction management, ABS, and airbags, and it is authorized as a result of it is categorized as a quadricycle in most of Europe.

As all the time, take a look at the video and head over to the feedback part under to tell us what you assume.
