By 1986 the model was approaching the end of its run as Fiat began transitioning to the Tipo, placing this particular year-date among the final Supercabrios produced. MITICA's release in \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:18\u003c\/span\u003e is one of the very few accurate scale representations of this body style in this scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"real-car\"\u003eA Bertone-Built Fiat, Not a Factory Convertible\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ritmo Supercabrio was not developed by Fiat's own body engineering team. Carrozzeria Bertone designed and built the car on a separate line, giving it a genuine coachbuilt identity that sets it apart from mainstream Ritmo saloons and hatchbacks. The second-series restyling — revised nose and tail — was introduced in 1982–83, and the Supercabrio followed that update; a 1986 car therefore carries the later, cleaner bodywork. Overall length of the second-series Ritmo is 3,975 mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"story\"\u003eThe 100S: Top of the Supercabrio Engine Range\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 100S designation identifies the twin-cam variant of the Supercabrio. Its 1,498 cc DOHC inline-four, derived from the Fiat\/Lampredi family of engines, produced approximately 100 hp (DIN) — the highest output available in the petrol Supercabrio lineup. That engine choice distinguished the 100S from lower-specification versions and connects the car to a broader line of twin-cam Fiat performance models from the same period. The red finish applied to this example was a commercially prominent colour for the Supercabrio and sits naturally within Fiat's Italian sporting identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"scale-model\"\u003eMITICA Resin 1:18 — Italian Subject, Italian Maker\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMITICA is an Italian manufacturer that focuses on high-detail resin \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:18\u003c\/span\u003e scale models of Italian road and competition cars, typically produced in short production runs. The Ritmo Bertone Supercabrio 100S is rendered in resin at \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:18\u003c\/span\u003e, with a computed model length of 22.0 cm (3,975 mm ÷ 18 = 220.8 mm). The release is designated \u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e — an exclusive edition within Vroomi's network — making it unavailable through standard retail distribution channels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"display-cabinet\"\u003e22.0 cm on the Shelf: Context and Companions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 22.0 cm, the model fits comfortably on a standard \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:18\u003c\/span\u003e display shelf, requiring approximately 25 cm of clear lateral space to account for mirror width. Its late-1980s Italian road car character places it naturally alongside \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:18\u003c\/span\u003e representations of the Bertone X1\/9 1500, the Alfa Romeo Spider Series 3, or the Lancia Delta HF Integrale — all period-correct Italian open-top or sporting companions. For collectors building a Bertone or Fiat marque grouping, this is a distinctly scarce subject at this scale.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MITICA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60132680565120,"sku":"MITICA103064","price":138.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0922\/8828\/7104\/files\/vroomi-mitica103064-front34-v2_13e075f2-c384-4746-972b-cfefc7d48dd5.jpg?v=1792144209","url":"https:\/\/vroomimodels.com\/products\/fiat-ritmo-bertone-supercabrio-100s-1986-red-nostra-esclusiva","provider":"Vroomi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
