The Fiat Barchetta, designated internally as Type 183 by the Italian manufacturer, is a FWD front-engine roadster produced from 1995 to 2006. It is powered by a 1.8-liter DOHC 16-valve inline-4 cylinder engine with variable timing paired to a 5-speed manual transaxle. The Fiat Barchetta (“little boat” in Italian) is known for being mechanically accessible, well-balanced, and agile, with excellent handling.
