Things are going well for the Citroën Ami Rip Curl

Citroën and Rip Curl are back at it, putting another layer of wax on surfing with a fun and rugged concept car.

Citroën and Rip Curl are reviving their friendly partnership, which began in 2016 with the C4 Cactus. The Citroën Ami thus transforms into a relaxed beach buggy, fully electric thanks to a new collaboration. Presented in Hossegor for the international finals of the Rip Curl GromSearch (November 4-8), the Ami Buggy Rip Curl Vision embodies mobility for young adventurers, from the age of 14, who want to be free both on the road and on the waves.

Inspired by the world of surfing, this concept car adopts a colorful and bold look: purple bodywork, white opening roof, white stickers, and an LED bar at the front. Inside, the quilted seats feature Rip Curl patterns, and the cabin is full of clever storage solutions to carry boards, wetsuits, and accessories without sacrificing style. To complete the experience, Citroën and Rip Curl thought of everything: a portable shower, changing mat, waterproof bag, and foldable storage bin. Even the surfboard matching the seats finds its place on the roof or side of the buggy.

Soon in Limited Edition?

With its offbeat design and clever features, the Ami Buggy Rip Curl Vision demonstrates the full potential of compact electric vehicles intended for leisure and urban mobility among young people. This little car could very well inspire a special edition for the general public. Citroën seems to have found a formula that combines fun, electric mobility, and the surfing universe, hinting at a possible commercial version… perhaps in spring 2026?

During the competition, Citroën will provide a fleet of Ami and Ami Buggies for participants, enabling everyone to fully experience it. More than a car, this concept vehicle is a true road companion for free spirits and outdoor leisure enthusiasts.
