I present the Fiat 128 SOHC engine that packs an amazing 55 HP with just 1116 cc of displacement in this little Ritmo... AND you can pay this man to drive you somewhere attempt to drive you somewhere in it.

Is it weird that I like the lights.. the wheels... the door handles... and the hood scoop...

Also I know there are a handful of you who would refer to today as 16/11, but I’m n0t one of those people.

Fiat Ritmos are super awesome! Totally quirky and progressive looking even today. But 70s/80s Fiat build quality tho.

Wasn’t the Ritmo the first car ever to be built on an almost entirely robotic production line?

For those who need to be somewhere in time, there’s always Carlo Abarth.

It was the “Strada” in America. I always really liked that design and there used to be a green one parked down the street from my ex that I lusted after more than her. Probably the last one still in service here as they didn’t sell well and no one bothered to save them.

Oooh, a Ritmo! Remember them, hadn’t seen one in years until I went to Italy recently.

Yes. There was a slogan:

Designed by a computer

Made by a robot

to which one usually added:

Driven by a moron

I can’t quite tell what that picture is depicting, but I’m going to choose to believe it is a hidden dog door for the kids in the wheel well.

I love these! On a related note, I should probably have my brain checked for damage.

I’ve always been a fan of the Ritmo’s styling...so retro, but awesome!

My dad owned one of those. He says it was so bad that he drove my mom’s Chevette on a regular basis.
