Two‑Generation Lifespan
The Ami series ran from 1961 through 1978, covering the Ami 6 (1961‑1971) and its successor, the Ami 8 (1969‑1978). Together they represent more than 1.8 million cars built during that period.
1969 Facelift and Smoother Front End
When the Ami 8 was launched in 1969, Citroën gave the model a facelifted front end that smoothed out the distinctive styling of the earlier Ami 6, creating a more conventional appearance.
Construction and Engine Basics
The Ami used a steel body on a punt‑type steel chassis, while the earlier Ami 6 featured a glass‑fibre roof. The Ami 8 continued with the same small 602 cc engine that powered its predecessor.
