Video: Thrashing a Citroën AX round the 'Ring

18th February 2021

When you think of the Nürburgring, what springs to mind? A Lamborghini Aventador, perhaps? Or a Porsche 911 GT3? Maybe even a Ferrari 488 Pista. Whatever you imagine, we can be pretty certain that it’s not this – a crazy, little Citroën AX.

But you better believe that it makes a worthy ‘Ring racer, as is proven in this brilliant trackside short from YouTuber Statesidesupercars.
Watch as a young driver hustles the stripped-out Citroën AX 10e diesel around the 20km Nordschleife, fearlessly sliding it through bends, the inside suspension compressing heavily as the outer wheels threaten to lift off.

Joined by the likes of Mustangs and Porsches during the open track session, the skinny-tyred Citroën cuts the racing line around the Green Hell, proving that sometimes less is more when it comes to sheer driving fun.
