Following the successful launch of the Mazda MX-5, Fiat decided in 1990to reintroduce a small Spider, a niche market Fiat has always been famous for.
The floorplan of the humble Fiat Punto (project code 176) was used, albeitshortened by 17 cms. Five years later the barchetta (projectcode 183) was introduced on the Geneva Autoshow.
Production lays in the hands of coachbuilder Maggiora.
