Citroën tests the waters with Ami Buggy concept in limited production run

PARIS: Two years after its release, the Ami is heading for the beach in the form of a limited-edition model directly derived from the My Ami Buggy concept, presented last December.

Only 50 numbered and configurable units will go on sale on the Citroën France website from €9,790. The first deliveries are scheduled from Aug 8.

My Ami Buggy has a khaki finish, as well as reinforced bumpers.

Above all, the doors and roof are replaced by metal tubes and a removable canvas, bringing the driver closer to nature.

Note that the front plate is customisable, with the option of adding the message of your choice.

Whether it's a trip to the beach or a ride in the country, the Ami Buggy is the ideal companion, even for teenagers, since in France the vehicle is accessible to everyone, with or without a driver's licence, from the age of 14.

The Ami stands apart from everything else on the market today. It does not surpass 45kph and has a range of about 75km.

It can also be recharged via any electrical socket. In its classic, "city" version, the Ami is available from €7,300 (in France), or for lease at €19.99 per month, after an initial payment of €3,941.
