What is a "voiturette"?
A voiturette is a small, early type of motor vehicle, typically with a simple design and compact size.

These vehicles were lightweight, making them easy to drive and park, and were usually designed to carry only one or two passengers. The term "voiturette" is sometimes used today to describe small, compact cars that prioritize practicality and efficiency.
