Rivolta
Introduced at the Turin Motorshow in 1962, the Rivolta was one of the early examples of Detroit meets Italy, with a front mounted Chevrolet 5358cc (101.6x82.55mm) ohv V8 driving the rear wheels through either an automatic transmission (also from Chevrolet) or a four speed manual from ZF and a bodywork designed and built by Bertone. The actual designer was Giugiaro whilst he was working for the latter company.
A separate boxed steel platform chassis frame was used, fitted with wishbones at the front and a de Dion layout at the back. Coil springs, hydraulic dampers and disc brakes (inboard at the rear) were to be found an all corners. The wheelbase was 2700mm whilst both the front and rear tracks were 1410mm and the empty weight was 1520kg.
Two versions, the IR300 and IR340, were built, the 300 and 340 referring to the power output of the engine, although various options were available, including a 365bhp version using an engine tuned in Italy and even a a four carburettor setup with 400bhp. A five speed transmission also became available during the cars production life. A total of 797 examples were built up until 1970 when production stopped.
It was available in white, grey (m), green (m), two blues, gold (m) and two reds (one m), those with (m) indicating metallic. The latter was an extra cost option, as were a leather interior, an electric sunroof, wirespoke wheels, wooden steering wheel (by Nardi) and air conditioning. Electric windows were standard.
