Citroën is set to launch an exciting new version of the Citroën Ami Buggy, catering to automotive enthusiasts and fans. Building on the success of last year’s limited edition release, this new batch will consist of 1000 units and will be available in 10 European countries. The sale will take place exclusively online, with a price tag exceeding €10,000.
The initial limited series of the Citroën My Ami Buggy, launched in June 2022 with only 50 units in France, was an overwhelming success. Within just 18 minutes, all the vehicles were sold out online. Some fortunate buyers even resold their Ami Buggy units on platforms like Leboncoin at astonishing prices, reaching up to €25,000! Encouraged by this triumph, Citroën is now reviving production with an increased batch of 1000 units, catering to 10 different countries.
Upgrades for the Ami Buggy
The new version of the Ami Buggy retains the distinctive concept, featuring a kaki color scheme with vibrant yellow accents, copper wheels, tubular structures replacing doors, a removable roof, and fender extensions. Citroën has made several enhancements to enhance the driving experience. Transparent door covers with zip closures have been added, providing improved protection from rain and wind compared to the previous “barrier” doors. These covers can be folded, secured with snap buttons, or conveniently stored in the garage when not needed. The roof also features a new structure that allows for easy folding or stretching of the canvas. Additionally, the extended roof acts as a sun visor, providing added functionality.
Inside the Ami Buggy, drivers will find a removable fluorescent yellow bag conveniently placed in the center of the steering wheel for storing personal belongings. The vehicle also boasts a new retro-styled circular instrument panel, adding a touch of nostalgia. Since the Ami Buggy doesn’t come with an integrated multimedia system, Citroën is including a special offering for owners of this limited-edition electric quadricycle: a portable Bluetooth speaker called the “Ultimate Ears Boom.” With a battery life of 15 hours, the speaker can be placed near the steering wheel in a dedicated compartment, ensuring enjoyable music during short journeys.
