Citroen targets young friends

Citroen has put its latest urban offering, the Ami, on to the streets of Paris.

More a quadricycle than a car, it will only be available in left-hand drive until the firm assesses the reaction to it.

It is a tiny electric car with a range of 43 miles and can be charged to full in just three hours on a domestic socket.

There is room inside for two people. Youngsters can drive it from age 14 in France and no licence is required. It can be rented for €19.99 a month or bought for €6000.
