2016 Fiat 500 Riva Interior, Exterior and Drive.

As of today, the new 500 Riva can be ordered at all Fiat dealerships (for specific details and prices, visit the local press sites). The exclusive limited series stands out for its unique appearance and refined details, having been created with the partnership of Riva, a legendary brand in the nautical world, synonymous with elegance and Italian taste. Style is expressed by the dashboard, for instance: the gear knob is carved from solid mahogany and the dashboard, also made of mahogany, has maple inlays. These superior woods used to make the Riva yachts and the privilege of premium cars are re-interpreted on 500 through the combination of sophisticated technology and expert crafting.

The new 500 Riva offers a wide range of high-performance engines, contained in terms of consumption and respecting the environment as demonstrated by their Euro6 type-approval.
Such as the tried-and-tested champion of thrift 1.2 Fire with 69 CV, also available with ECO function. This engine fits a smart alternator, a specific aerodynamic pack and new tyres which guarantee low rolling resistance and high resistance to wear. These developments as a whole translate into real savings on running costs and a sustainable environment impact. One number for all: the CO2 emissions total only 99 grams per kilometre. Also petrol are the TwinAir 0.9 cm3 with 85 HP and 105 HP two-cylinder engines which are a real, accessible solution to maximising benefits for the environment and for your pocket.

The 1.3 Multijet 95 HP diesel engine could not be missing from the line-up. Once again, Fiat 500 is the only car in its segment to offer a turbo diesel. The 1.3 Multijet is the pride and joy of FCA motor engineering and ensures great autonomy and low running costs without sacrificing comfort or pleasure to drive. With a power output of 95 HP delivered at 3750 rpm, it is able to reach a maximum speed of 180 km/h and accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 10.7 seconds. In addition, the use of a turbocharger with variable geometry enables the engine to deliver high torque at low revs: 170 Nm at 1,250 rpm and a maximum torque of 200 Nm at 1,500 rpm, all to the benefit of flexible running and pleasant driving.
Depending on the engine, there is 5 or 6 speed mechanical transmission or the robotic Dualogic.

The iconic Fiat blends with the timeless allure of Riva, to produce a car that combines the style and design features of both brands.
Two absolute legends in the world of cars and of boats meet to create a new desirable object, which symbolises outstanding Italian beauty.

Fiat 500 Riva is also convertible: this version expresses an unmistakable style made of precious wood and dedication to details to turn any trip into an exclusive cruise.

The target of the new 500 Riva are motorists seeking on dry land the same exclusivity of Aquariva Super yacht - the current Riva icon - and the accessibility that has made the 500 an icon: quality materials and a unique style to experience the emotions of a cruise on everyday city streets.
The "Sera Blue" bodywork, an exclusive colour for this limited special series, is one of the most appreciated of the palette offered for Aquariva Super, the Italian shipyard's emblematic yacht and successor to the legendary Aquarama.
The convertible version boasts a new blue top, created exclusively for this version, while the black of the sedan's panoramic roof makes it particularly elegant.

Unique details embellish the livery: the mirror caps are chrome-plated, as are the handles and the bonnet trim which emphasises the streamline style of the bonnet, in perfect harmony with Riva boats. Furthermore, a double aquamarine line running along the belt line enhances the soft profile of the 500 and recalls the beautiful line of a yacht. Lastly, the car feature brand new and exclusive 16" 20-spoke light alloy rims with a dedicated blue finish, designed particularly for this series. Not by chance, the special series really carries the Riva name: it is the only 500 to give way on the bonnet to the logo of the nautical legend and the name is spelt out on the wheel arch, on the wooden insert on the side panel and on the dashboard.
