The Oltcit (pronounced olt-chit') is a Romanian car developed in co-operation with Citroën of France in the 1980s. It is a small three-door hatchback, based on the Prototype Y. This vehicle was studied by Citroën to replace the Ami before Peugeot took the decision to produce the Citroën Visa derived from the 104. The Oltcit was sold between 1978 and 1988, and was also sold in Western Europe badged as the Citroën Axel.
The car's name comes from the county of Olt in Romania, with 'cit' being an abbreviation of Citroën. The Oltcit logo is also similar to that of Citroën, but only features one chevron, as opposed to the two found on Citroën's logo.
