Launched on July 4, 1957, the Fiat 500 quickly became a cult vehicle in the 1950s and 60s. While the automobile became something of a family member in many households, the motor yachts from Riva embodied the "dolce vita". Just in time for its birthday, the Fiat 500 Riva is put on wheels.
The model features details from yacht building, such as the mahogany-clad dashboard with maple inlays. The special model is painted exclusively in Sera Blue. The striking color also characterizes the Aquariva Super, the current powerboat from Riva. The soft top of the Fiat 500C Riva convertible is made of blue fabric.
Engines are available from 65 hp to 105 hp
The engines offered for the Fiat 500 Riva all have low fuel consumption values and are classified according to the Euro 6 emissions standard. Depending on the engine, manual gearboxes with five or six gears or the Dualogic automatic transmission are used. The basic 1.2 8V engine produces 69 hp. As an alternative among the petrol engines, the two-cylinder 0.9 TwinAir is offered, which is available in two power levels with 80 hp or 105 hp.
