Fiat showed the Ritmo at the 1978 Turin show as the replacement for the 128 saloon line, and it sold as the Strada in the UK and North America. The 1983 Abarth 130 TC used a 1,995 cc twin-cam four rated 130 PS (about 128 hp). Bertone built and sold a cabriolet from 1981, and SEAT's Ronda shared the platform. Production ended in 1988 with the Tipo as successor. This entry is Fiat's own 1978 car, not SEAT's Ronda, which shared its platform.
