01 / THE STORY
History & context
The Fiat Ritmo Cabrio Leader, crafted by Bertone starting in 1986, is a rare and exclusive convertible based on the third series of the Fiat Ritmo. Limited to just 250 individually numbered units, each car was personally signed by Nuccio Bertone, emphasizing its unique and prestigious status. It was designed as a tribute to the earlier “Lingotto” concept, embodying style and exclusivity. The Ritmo Cabrio Leader was available exclusively in white, with a striking monochromatic aesthetic. The bumpers, side moldings, mirrors, convertible top, and interior were all finished in white, creating a cohesive and elegant appearance. This distinct color scheme was complemented by premium details, such as a black leather sport steering wheel, which added a touch of sophistication and contrast to the interior. Inside, the car offered high-end features for its time, including electric windows, centralized locking, and seats upholstered in luxurious velvet. These features highlighted its focus on comfort and modernity, setting it apart from other models in the Fiat lineup. Alloy wheels further enhanced its sporty yet refined appeal. The Fiat Ritmo Cabrio Leader stands out as a collector’s item, celebrating the creative vision of Bertone and Nuccio Bertone’s signature attention to detail. Its limited production, unique design, and premium features make it a cherished piece of automotive history.
