The Citroën 2CV Wazaam: a colorful special series

Launched in 1990, two years before the 2CV production ended , the Wazaam series represented Citroën's final attempt to revitalize sales of its most iconic model. This special edition was distinguished by its extravagant livery in bright, psychedelic colors, reminiscent of the world of comics and pop culture of the time.

Technically, the 2CV Wazaam retained the 602cc air-cooled twin-cylinder engine developing 29 horsepower, but it was above all its aesthetics that made its mark. The multi-colored stripes, flashy stickers and special rims transformed the wise Deudeuche into a true rolling work of art .

This limited edition was a critical success among young drivers and collectors, although purists were sometimes perplexed by this interpretation, which was so far removed from the original austerity of the model. Today, authentic examples of the Wazaam are sought after by enthusiasts for their rarity and originality.

Citroën: innovation in the service of automobile democratization

Founded in 1919 by André Citroën, the chevron brand quickly established itself as a pioneer of the French automotive industry . From the very beginning, Citroën revolutionized production by adopting mass-production methods, making automobiles accessible to the general public.

When the 2CV was launched in 1948, Citroën was undergoing a period of post-war reconstruction. The company, then headed by Pierre Boulanger, aimed to motorize rural France with a simple, economical, and practical vehicle. This philosophy contrasted with the luxurious approach of other manufacturers at the time.

The 2CV fit perfectly into this democratic vision of the automobile. In 1990, when the Wazaam series was launched, Citroën was already part of the PSA group and was seeking to renew the aging image of its 2CV in the face of competition from modern city cars. This special edition demonstrated the brand's desire to remain creative until the end.
