FIAT Regata Weekend
The Regata, unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 1983, was developed from the pre facelift Ritmo and utilised almost all the mechanicals, although the wheelbase was stretched slightly.
A conventional four door three box design, it bore very little external resemblance to the original Ritmo, although it hinted strongly at the look of the facelift of 1982 for that car.
The engines offered were also similar, being the 1301 cc inline four rated at 68 hp (50 kW) (Regata 70) and the 1498 cc model rated at 82 hp (60 kW) (Regata 85).
Both of these were SOHC engines. A DOHC 1585 cc inline four rated at 100 hp (74 kW) (Regata 100) was also available as were two SOHC diesels, a 1714 cc straight four rated at 58 hp (43 kW) (Regata D) and a 1929 cc version rated at 65 hp (48 kW) (Regata DS), the latter of which was added in 1984.
The Regata Weekend estate was introduced in November 1984. The Weekend replaced the 131 Panorama, which had been kept in production alongside the Regata. The Weekend featured a folding rear bumper, enabling easier access to the load area and doubling as a seat capable of supporting 150 kg when folded down.
