Figured this one'd go quick after the move.

Funnily enough I own a book which this image came from, and yet despite being released this is not the name that was used in the book. It was known as the AMC City Car in said book, so someone might come across it like that.  :)

AMC introduced it twice!  :o Once more it was presented in 1977 under the name "Concept Electron", but the one you've posted is definetely the Amitron!

Yep, it was the exact same car, which was said to feature innovative battery technology. However, it was no more than an empty shell on any occasion.
