Long‑running production and high volume
Introduced in 1961, the Ami was manufactured until 1978, with a total of 1,840,396 units built according to the buyer’s guide. Some sources round the figure to about 1.5 million, underscoring its popularity in the B‑segment market.
Unusual body and chassis construction
The Ami featured a steel body mounted on a punt‑type steel chassis, a combination that gave the car a sturdy yet lightweight feel. The Ami 6 variant even sported a glass‑fibre roof, a distinctive design choice for its time.
Name lives on in a modern electric bubble car
While the original Ami was an internal‑combustion family car, Citroën revived the “Ami” name for a contemporary electric city bubble car that can be driven by 14‑year‑olds in France. The EV version was previewed by the “Ami One” concept, linking the historic model to today’s micro‑mobility trend.
