MITICA has reproduced the 1986 Palinuro special series in a \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:18\u003c\/span\u003e resin model that captures a car most collectors have never seen in the metal. The two-tone green metallic finish is offered here as a colourway, produced for a single retailer and not replicated elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"ritmo-supercabrio-bertone\"\u003eThe Ritmo Bertone Supercabrio: Grugliasco Coachwork on a Production Platform\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBertone first showed the Ritmo Cabriolet at the 1982 Geneva Motor Show, but the Supercabrio took the concept further: the B-pillar was deleted entirely, creating a pure open-top structure. The bodywork was hand-finished at Bertone's Grugliasco plant in Turin. Underneath sat the Ritmo II 100S drivetrain — a 1,498 cc SOHC inline-four producing approximately 105 bhp, paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. The car's overall length is 3,970 mm, width 1,660 mm, and wheelbase 2,448 mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"palinuro-livery-story\"\u003eThe Palinuro Edition: Geography as a Sales Argument\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the mid-1980s, Fiat and Bertone named a small series of Supercabrio variants after prestigious Italian leisure destinations, and Palinuro — a headland on the Cilento coast of Campania — gave its name to this two-tone green metallic series. These cars were conceived as luxury open-air touring companions for wealthy buyers, delivered with matching interior trim. The Palinuro designation was one of several geographically-referenced limited series that distinguished the Supercabrio from standard Ritmo Cabriolet production, underscoring the car's positioning well above the mainstream hatchback range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"mitica-1-18-resin-model\"\u003eMITICA: Italian Resin Craftsmanship at \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:18\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMITICA is an Italian specialist known for reproducing rare and low-volume Italian road cars in \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:18\u003c\/span\u003e scale with resin construction. Resin allows a fidelity to subtle body-colour gradations and surface contours that die-cast tooling at this scale rarely achieves, which matters particularly for a two-tone metallic finish like the Palinuro's. The model length is calculated at 220.6 mm — approximately 22.0 cm — directly from the real car's 3,970 mm overall length divided by the \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:18\u003c\/span\u003e ratio. The designation confirms this colourway is exclusive to one retailer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"display-cabinet\"\u003eIn the Display Cabinet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 22 cm, the Supercabrio requires a standard \u003cspan class=\"vr-scale\"\u003e1:18\u003c\/span\u003e display shelf — a single shelf space of roughly 25–26 cm allows comfortable clearance. The open-top body profile sits lower than a typical saloon, making it visually distinctive alongside taller contemporaries. It pairs naturally with other MITICA Italian road car releases or with 1980s Italian open-top subjects such as the Alfa Romeo Spider of the same period. For collectors focused on Carrozzeria Bertone's lesser-documented 1980s production, this model fills a gap that no die-cast manufacturer has addressed at this scale.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MITICA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60132680008064,"sku":"MITICA103061","price":138.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0922\/8828\/7104\/files\/vroomi-mitica103061-front34-v2_755acdb2-a11d-4f68-9c7c-012bda802bb2.jpg?v=1792144189","url":"https:\/\/vroomimodels.com\/products\/fiat-ritmo-bertone-supercabrio-100s-palinuro-1986-2-tone-green-met-nostra-esclusiva","provider":"Vroomi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
