Car articles about Fiat Ritmo by year
In the spring of 1978, Fiat launched the Ritmo as the spearhead of a comprehensive renewal of the car range, which had to hold its own in an already well-stocked competitive environment with the VW Golf, Opel Kadett, Simca Horizon and Renault 14. An individual appearance and a well thought-out design were to make this possible. Did they succeed? This article portrays an early Fiat Ritmo 75 CL, tells the model history and shows the car in historical and current pictures. The sales brochure and sound samples are also included.
After the open-top VW Golf had established the genre of the compact bow-top convertible in 1979, the European competition gradually began to cut the roof off their hatchback saloons as well. One of the first to enter the ring against the open-top Wolfsburg exile was the Fiat Ritmo Cabriolet from 1981, which was not officially called that at all and also did not roll off the production line with its closed brothers. This article sheds light on the development of the Ritmo offshoot built by Bertone and shows a fine "Palinuro" from 1985 in many photos as well as other models on historical material.
