History of this model :
The Riva Super Tritone is an evolution of the Tritone (manufactured from 1953 to 1966). Manufactured from 1960 to 1964, it was equipped with 2 275 hp Chris craft V8 engines.
A total of 255 units were produced, 233 for the Tritone and 22 for the Super Tritone.
The Tritone was Riva's first twin-engine production model. It remains without equal.
In 1960, Riva commissioned an 8.30-meter-long Tritone Special, hull no. 132, powered by two 325 hp Cadillac V8s. During tests, this one-off unofficially reached 96 kilometers per hour at the Sarnico speed base.
In addition to its impressive dimensions, the Tritone is immediately distinguishable from an Ariston of the same era by its four side air intakes. Its volume allows it to accommodate a cabin at the front, below deck. The folding front bench seat and soft top provide comfortable interior space. Until 1964, it was fitted with a Formica dashboard and an imposing steering wheel. A new mahogany configuration was installed until the last model produced in 1966.z
The Tritone is one of today's rarest Riva models. Many users preferred the Aquarama, better adapted to new leisure habits.
