The Citroen Ami is a low-slung city car that came under the spotlight with its polarizing design. It's also quite compact, measuring only 7.9 feet (2.41 meters) long, 4.6 ft (1.39 m) wide, and 5.0 ft (1.52 m) tall. The cube-shaped body is relatively close to the ground, with a clearance of only 5.1 inches (130mm). However, that fact doesn't mean a thing for Monaco Grand Prix's most popular corner: the Grand Hotel hairpin, sometimes known as the Fairmont or Loews hairpin.
As seen in the video embedded above, a blue Citroen Ami failed to tackle the Grand Hotel hairpin safely. The first pass, which was a slight uphill climb, went fine, though you could hear the Ami's tires already squeaking as it made a pretty quick 180-degree right-hand turn.
