History of this model:
The Riva Super Tritone is an evolution of the Tritone (built from 1953 to 1966). Manufactured from 1960 to 1964, it was equipped with 2 Chris craft V8 engines of 275 HP.
255 units were produced of which 233 for the Tritone and 22 for the Super Tritone.
The Tritone was the first twin-engine aircraft produced in series by Riva. It has remained unrivalled.
In 1960, Riva built a Tritone Special, hull no. 132, 8.30 meters long, powered by two 325 hp Cadillac V8 engines. During tests, this unique piece of machinery unofficially reached 96 kilometers per hour at the Sarnico speed base.
The Tritone, in addition to its impressive dimensions, is immediately distinguishable from an Ariston of the same period by its four side air intakes. Its volume allows it to accommodate a cabin in the front, below deck. The folding front bench seat and the soft top leave a comfortable volume available in the cabin. It is equipped with a Formica dashboard and an imposing steering wheel until 1964. A new mahogany configuration was installed until the last model produced in 1966.z
The Tritone is one of the rarest Riva models today. Many users preferred the Aquarama, better suited to the new leisure habits.
