Citroen Ami Buggy Vision Concept (2024)

Citroen Ami Buggy Vision Concept

Original and expressive, the Ami is a fantastic playground that has always inspired designers. The All-New version of the Ami is a natural invitation to leisure and relaxation. The All-New Ami is showcased on the stand with the Ami Buggy Vision, a completely free styling exercise. With no doors and a sunroof open to the 4 winds, the designers reworked this body-built edition of the Ami on the theme of kite surfing. The result is a practical, functional cruiser that's the ideal companion for going to the beach and enjoying some great surfing sessions. Fun, simple and 100% electric, it's perfectly suited to outdoor activities in the heart of nature.

An invitation to unlimited outdoor fun, My Ami Buggy Vision captures the spirit of a beautiful summer evening that stretches into the night, with its distinct midnight blue body colour. Both elegant and imbued with a raw organic spirit, this hue lends considerable confidence and strength to the concept. The white roof adds a touch of refinement and lightness that doesn't detract from its adventurous character. This white colour is also found in the border that encircles the black decoration on the front fascia. This section reinforces the smile and mischievous expression on the Ami's face, while highlighting the brand logo, which is also white. Symmetry being one of the Ami's basic principles, this design is also found at the rear.

Its adventurous side is amplified by specific tyres, set wide apart to stabilise the vehicle. They give a racy feel to a playful, cheeky vehicle that puffs its chest out while remaining a weekend adventurer. The tyres are heavily notched for improved grip and feature a white Citroën logo cabochon in the centre, giving strong character to the concept. The outdoor spirit is further enhanced by the wheel arch protectors, which are tinted black to suggest robustness and protection. They are underlined by white stickers on the vehicle's wings, in geometric shapes that offer an energetic combination of round and tauter motifs. This design is directly inspired by the wheel arches of the Oli concept.

The Ami Buggy Vision takes the striations on its wings from the All-New Ami, a reference to the 2CV, - like the upward pivoting windows. This nod to history is also reflected in the round yellow headlamps, thanks to a special glass used for this concept. And because the adventure lasts through to the end of the night, the Ami Buggy Vision is fitted with an LED bar on the cap above the windscreen.

In a clever move, the Ami Buggy Vision incorporates a hook on the doors providing access to the vehicle, so that each can be fitted with a Kite Surf board. In keeping with the company's commitment to developing intelligent parts that are easy to industrialise, this bracket is made from folded sheet metal. It is easy to fit over the door, and tensioners hold the board in place. Citroën is inscribed on it without adding any material, simply by cutting out the sheet metal. While size is kept under control, there's no problem of space, so you can turn your leisure time into a moment of sharing for two. The styling team has also worked on a special luggage compartment to store the kite sail, and has decorated a kite surf board specifically for this purpose.

On board, the two occupants will enjoy enhanced comfort thanks to the new seat cushions, featuring the quilted look and comfort of Citroën Advanced Comfort ® seats. They feature the Infrared orange-red colour already seen on the seats of the Oli concept. This colour, which is also used on the dashboard, stands out particularly well against the midnight blue of the exterior. On the dashboard, the words 'Like No One' have been reworked in an aquatic style, marking the distinctive character of the Ami Buggy Vision.
