Let $(X_n)$ be an unbounded sequence of finite, connected, vertex transitive graphs with bounded degree such that $|X_n| = o(diam(X_n)^q)$ for some $q > 0$. We show that up to taking a subsequence, and after rescaling by the diameter, the sequence $(X_n)$ converges in the Gromov Hausdorff distance to a torus of dimension $< q$, equipped with some invariant proper length metric. The proof relies on a recent quantitative version of Gromov's theorem on groups with polynomial growth obtained by Breuillard, Green and Tao. If $X_n$ is only roughly transitive and $|X_n| = o(diam(X_n)^\delta)$ for $\delta > 1$ sufficiently small, we are able to prove, this time by elementary means, that $(X_n)$ converges to a circle.
