We’re adding Citroën’s adorable electric dune buggy to our Christmas wish list
As if the standard Citroën Ami two seats were not unbearable, the concept of my Buggy Ami came, pulled endlessly at our holiday heartstrings. Suitable and ready to go off-road in Lilliput National Forest, and you can bring friends to travel.
If before you think Ford Bronco is open (with the deleted door) is the main transportation to explore the wilderness, the latest EV concept of Citroën will make you double. “The concept of Ami Buggy I need to be functional and simple, in the pure spirit of iconic and contemporary industrial objects,” said Samuel Pericles, my Buggy Ami designer.
Unlike the previous variant of Ami (including the AMI cargo variant for microentreneurs), the concept did not have a door. Instead, he has a rainproof canvas canvas curtain to protect you from the element. Of course, this curtain can be withdrawn or removed if necessary. The roof of the panorama with a practical roof cap on the windshield increases the feeling of open while protecting your eyes from excessive sunlight.
Meanwhile, the off-road vibration continues with lamp lattices, chunkier bumper, protective bullbar, and roof rack with LED lights bar. The black, khaki and yellow theme is yellow “inspired by camping equipment” and “strengthens the nature of a functional and strong vehicle,” Citroën said. And yes, knobby mud tires and offset gold rim look amazing, by the way.
The fun and outdoorsy theme extend inside. This chair has a thicker convenience memory foam pillow that can be removed, can be exchanged, and can be washed. And like AMI cargo, it has a storage area that is cleverly designed and portable to hold your belongings. It has special luggage designed to fit perfectly in several vehicle storage boxes. Oh, and most of the assesses are printed 3D for perfection, which is fantastic.
Citroën did not mention PowerTrain, so we consider Buggy to have an electric motor of eight similar horsepower and 5.5 kwh lithium-ion batteries as AMI production, enough for the highest speed of 30 mph and about 47 miles from driving zero-emissions. If the battery runs well, it refills in less than three hours using a domestic 220V socket.
We are pretty sure the concept of Ami Buggy is quite small enough to fit Santa. But again, good OLE ‘Saint Nicholas can find it difficult to hold the concept of oh-so cute, outdoor vibration. Rudolph, watch your back.
