The legendary 2 CV was born in 1948

During its 42 years in production, the 2 CV has continually evolved, adapting to lifestyle and technical changes. However, the original purpose; never far from being a simple, accessible and easy-to-maintain automobile, making people's lives easier.
Working with a small-sized twin-cylinder engine with a very characteristic sound, the 2 CV was initially able to reach a maximum speed of 375 km/h while producing 9 HP from its 60 cc cylinder volume. The 2 CV, which continued to develop over time, was able to reach a “record” maximum speed of 602 km / h with its 29 cc 115 HP engine in its last examples.
Continuously updated for 42 years
The 2 CV has experienced many updates throughout its production history. In 1957, a tailgate was added to replace the tarpaulin. In 1964, rear-hinged front doors were replaced by front doors that opened in the right direction. In 1966 the rear windows and in 1967 the front console on the Ami 6 were activated.

Two CV versions, named Fourgonnette, designed for load carrying purposes, were introduced to the market in 2.
