Citroen Saxo AK-47 Black & White Edition
Along with the new millennium, the bag of crazy tuninngs has been torn open. This was mainly due to the release of the first series of the iconic Fast and Furious movie in 2001.
The Citroean Saxo on display was completely rebuilt by one of the most renowned Czech tuners of his time, Adam Rabbit, founder of the AK-47 tuning company.
He became especially famous for his iconic Skoda Rabbit, which graced the covers of several magazines and was even chosen by singer Rhianna for her “shut up and drive” music video. According to surviving information, the cost of the Citroen Saxo conversion was around 400 thousand CZK.
In 2022, under the supervision of Double Red, the car was completely restored, with the final black & white edition being designed by Double Red’s designers.
