Citroen My Ami Buggy sold out in less than 18 minutes

Late last year, Citroen unveiled its new My Ami Buggy concept vehicle. Its production started last week, and all 50 cars were sold in record time.

This small car is intended exclusively for the French market. The first copies of the Citroen My Ami Buggy should reach their owners in early September.

My Ami Buggy starts the engine with 8 hp (6 kW) and is capable of reaching a top speed of 30 mph (48 km / h). It is equipped with a 5.5 kWh battery that gives it a range of 47 miles (76 km).

The starting price of € 9,790 has obviously attracted a lot of attention from customers who are hurried to buy their new “toy”. All planned copies, 50 of them, were sold in less than 18 minutes.

Goodbye Citroen C1

After 17 years, Citroen has announced that it will stop producing its smallest car, the Citroen C1. During its existence, two generations of this model were produced, and more than 1 million units of this small city car were sold.

Citroen says that the 3.43-meter-long car, which was offered in European markets, will be replaced by a cheap electric model that brings the name Ami back to life. Citroen justifies this move with the trend of electrification and changes in the habits of customers who need city cars.

Citroen offered the C1 in two versions, with three and five doors. The first generation was powered by a 1.0-liter three-cylinder petrol engine and a 1.4-liter turbo diesel engine, which was withdrawn with the arrival of the second generation. This was done because the second generation proved to be better on EuroNCAP tests by winning four of the possible five stars.

Some rumors say that another French car manufacturer, Peugeot, will follow the same path. This means that only Toyota remains in the game, which recently introduced the new generation Aygo. The car has a slightly longer body and the distance between the floor and the ground, compared to its predecessor.
