In 1988, the Tipo succeeded the Ritmo. Once again, the design was quite unusual. The stylist was Ercole Spada, who worked for I.DE.A., at the time. The facelift that took place in 1993 brought a new front grille and also a three-door variant. Here we have the model equipped with the 2.0 i.e. high-end engine, whose 4-cylinder had 16 valves.
