After revealing the Citroën Ami Buggy Rip Curl Vision concept last October at the Rip Curl GromSearch finals in Hossegor, Citroën is taking things a step further with the Ami Rip Curl, a limited-edition model that embodies the spirit of surfing and freedom of movement. Drawing inspiration from surfwear, it offers a bold, distinctive style that stands out even in the heart of the city. Agile and comfortable like an easy-to-wear everyday garment, it embodies the Rip Curl spirit, which aims to offer modern, technical, and practical products for leisure activities. The Citroën Ami Rip Curl is clad in black and accented by a set of yellow or purple stickers, graphically marking the vehicle as a truly personalized piece of decor. With the limited-edition Ami Rip Curl, Citroën offers a version accessible to a public seeking eco-friendly mobility, in a vehicle with a strong identity infused with surf culture and a distinctive aesthetic.
Ami Rip Curl: when the waves take over the city
Ami Rip Curl stands out with its exclusive colorful details, available in two versions: Sunrise (yellow) and Sunset (purple).
The distinctive features of this limited edition :
- Its “Black Night” black exterior color.
- Rip Curl stickers—yellow or purple depending on the version—are featured on the door sills, rear side windows, rear window, and dashboard. These stickers create a bold graphic signature and incorporate the wave motif and Rip Curl logo theme on the door. Striking elements that characterize the spirit of Ami Rip Curl.
- A brand logo on the front panel, in yellow or white depending on the version.
- A rear spoiler that enhances the model’s dynamic character.
- A new 5.7-inch digital display with a color screen that modernizes the interior. This new center display, now featured in the Ami and located behind the steering wheel, offers improved readability and enhanced graphics.
- Matching interior accessories: yellow for the Sunrise version and gray for the Sunset version: 3 colored storage bins on the dashboard, 1 colored bag hook on the passenger side, 2 colored floor mats, 2 colored door nets, a center divider net, and a smartphone holder.
- Exclusive 14-inch white wheels for a unique and distinctive look.
Beyond the car itself, this collaboration extends to a selection of Citroën x Rip Curl co-branded merchandise. A 710 mL bottle (€29.99) and a Barrel Bag (€35.99) are available for purchase separately or as an integrated part of the vehicle, allowing you to fully embrace the spirit of this limited edition.
Citroën and Rip Curl: a great partnership that continues
This limited edition marks a joyful reunion for two brands that develop stylish, high-performance products designed to enhance well-being, leisure, and adventure. Driven by their shared values of creativity, authenticity, and innovation, Citroën and Rip Curl are united by a common vision: to give everyone the freedom to get out and about, escape the everyday, and make the most of every moment.
This collaboration began in 2016 with the C4 Cactus, continued with the C4 Picasso, SpaceTourer, and C3 Aircross in 2018, and came to fruition with the Berlingo in 2021. By partnering once again with Rip Curl—a name closely associated with surfing since 1969—Citroën aims to reinforce the spirit of adventure through a version focused on relaxation and escape. For the second time, AMI bears the Rip Curl signature and celebrates this collaboration with a colorful edition.
This limited edition will be on display at two major competitions organized by Rip Curl and sponsored by Citroën. The Rip Curl Nations Trophy, presented by Citroën, will take place on May 9, 2026, at Surftown MUC in Munich. This event is part of the European GromSearch circuit, also supported by Citroën, which will kick off in Italy in April, then make stops in Spain and the United Kingdom in May, before continuing in Portugal in June and France in August. The season will conclude with the European final in September in Munich, Germany, bringing together the best European surfers under 16. These events will offer surf and mobility lovers the opportunity to discover the Ami Rip Curl, bridging the gap between city and beach, mobility and escape.
