As somewhat spurious homages go, Fiat might have the market cornered the people"s car of Italy, made during circumstances of extreme privation and uncertainty after the Second World War, now alludes to perhaps the best-known purveyor of pricey powerboats, Riva.Yes, it"s already been going on with the regular Fiat 500 for a while now. But, as the late-night informercials say, but wait, there"s more. Fiat"s in-house fastification outfit (hey, that"s what they do) Abarth has now jumped on the money train first class, of course releasing their own mashup between the automotive and the nautical. So, expect to find Riva"s "trademark Riva two-tone Sera Blue and Shark Grey colour scheme with Aquamarine double-stripe beauty line," which represents the "thin line of sea on the horizon", as well as a blue leather interior and the option of a real mahogany dashboard, steering wheel and gear lever inserts.
