After a redesigned front and rear, the Citroen Ami now has a more aggressive exterior, reminiscent of Aston Martin’s signature language.
The Citroen Ami is an affordable little electric car. Very few people think of using these types of cars to become supercars. But a customer of tuner Castagna Milan wanted to give a special edition of the French electric car to his 16-year-old son.
The guest wanted the Citroen Ami to have the same specs as his Aston Martin DBS Superleggera.
In addition, he also wanted the car to use the main tone of black, matte paint finish and contrasting yellow accents.
To do this, Castagna Milano designed 60 different parts for the tiny electric car. In the end, 40 of them were used in construction, with the help of 3D printers and the use of recycled plastic.
Underbody cover in gloss black. The Citroen logo in the form of an upward arrow is now placed in an oval mold rather than “directly” on the rear shell like the original. New 5-twin-spoke gloss black alloy wheels similar to the Aston Martin DBS
Inside, the cheap hard plastic surface is replaced with black Alcantara leather with a more luxurious gold edging. The gear lever has been moved from the driver’s side to the dash to allow for more storage space. Luxurious rugs up to 3 cm thick
However, although the interior was changed in a more luxurious direction, for some reason the entertainment system was not updated. Even the lack of air conditioning in the original car is still maintained.
There are no engine changes either: this “Aston Martin mini” still uses an 8 horsepower electric motor and a 5.5 kWh lithium-ion battery that only provides a range of 70 km. Those numbers are a far cry from DBS’s 5.2L twin-turbo V12 producing 715 hp. Maybe because the recipient is a 16-year-old boy, the father doesn’t want to “spoil” his son
Although Castagna Milan only made one version of this “Aston Martin mini”, those interested can still order parts to create similar parts, costing from 600 euros to “several thousand” euros. . But probably not many Citroen Ami car owners are interested, because the cheap price is one of the biggest advantages of the car.
In Vietnam, the Citroen Ami is very rare, although it is privately imported. But recently it became better known when someone took this car as a compilation of VinFast VF 2 (temporary name of electric mini car model that VinFast may release in the future) (photo) – Photo: Facebook
