You can now treat yourself to the Fiat 500 Riva, available at all Fiat dealerships. The car is inspired by the Aquarama, the famous motorboat from Riva Yacht, and has been built with some of the materials used in the boat. For example, there is a mahogany dashboard with maple wood inlays, the same wood species used for Riva yachts. The door sills and gear knob are also made of solid mahogany.
"The new 500 Riva is aimed at motorists looking for the same exclusivity on land that the Aquariva Super yacht - Riva's current icon - offers, as well as the accessibility that has made the 500 a legend: quality materials and a unique style to feel the emotions of a cruise during every daily trip to the city" we read on the Fiat website.
This limited series goes up in range thanks to these noble woods, used for the manufacture of Riva yachts. However, the resemblance with the famous Riva shipyard canoe stops there, even if both brands have tried to push the resemblance further.
The bodywork of the Fiat 500 Riva will be covered in the colour "Sera Blue" (night blue). "It's one of the most popular colors in the Aquariva Super palette." explains Fiat. The cabriolet version has a new blue soft top created exclusively for this version, while the saloon version has a panoramic black roof.
To remind you of the boat, the mirror housings are chromed, as are the handles and the hood finish. The aquamarine line running along the beltline seeks to recall the silhouette of a yacht. Finally, the car is equipped with new 20-spoke 16-inch light alloy wheels with a specific blue finish, created exclusively for this model.
This special series signed Riva and Fiat will also have the logo of the nautical legend and the trade name "Riva" will also appear on the front fenders, on the wooden inserts of the side panels and on the dashboard.
Available in sedan or convertible versions and with all the engines in the range, prices start from 17,990 euros for the 69 bhp 1.2 petrol version.
