Citroën has made a very original contribution to the history of the automobile. Models like the 1955 DS, known as Tiburón, or the 1968 Méhari, are good examples. And although the My Amy Buggy is probably not going to have the impact of the aforementioned models, we must recognize the daring and friendly spirit characteristic of the French brand.
And to keep alive the memory of the endearing Méhari, Citroën occasionally creates models that reinterpret his very philosophy. It happened with the C3 Pluriel, the E-Méhari and the My Ami Buggy, of which the French brand already launched a first edition of only 50 units last year.
Unlike the other vehicles, the Ami Buggy is a light quadricycle, not a car. Although that has its advantages; You can drive from the age of 15 with an AM license. With a recreational focus, this original limited edition electric vehicle has only been sold in France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Greece, Portugal, the United Kingdom, Morocco and Turkey.
Ideal for good weather and for use anywhere on the beach, it lacks doors and a roof. However, it comes equipped with several exclusive accessories such as transparent tarpaulins instead of doors to protect the occupants from inclement weather and a removable zippered bag located in the center of the steering wheel to store small items.
And to make it easier to use, a new hood closure system has been created. It is a black and waterproof fabric that now has a zipper, making it more practical and easier to handle.
The khaki-coloured body is punctuated with acid yellow accents and a series of unique decorative details give it the necessary adventurous character: wheel arches, front and rear bumpers and the distinctive gold hubcaps. It is small, agile and very manageable, it is designed for two people. It measures only 2.41 meters in length and its 8.2 horsepower electric motor allows it to reach a maximum speed of 45 km/h. It can be recharged in about four hours from a household type socket. It includes a Bluetooth speaker on the dashboard that can be removed with 15 hours of operation to listen to music.
