Projet VD’ or ‘Voiture Diminuйe’, as it was now called, addressed itself to the need for a small, robust, modern car. A number of styling exercises were undertaken but in 1974, Peugeot acquired Citroлn and the project was redefined (again) to incorporate the floor pan of the Peugeot 104, thereby permitting the use of the 104 engine and transmission.
Project VD eventually became three cars: LN(A), Visa and the closest to the original, the Axel which was built in Romania by Oltcit. The Axel comprises the original torsion bar suspension and lots of other original details. The LN and Visa use MacPherson struts at the front as in the Peugeot 104
