			The '''Fiat Barchetta''' is a [[roadster]] produced by the Italian manufacturer [[Fiat]] from 1995 to 2005 (though production was paused between May 2002 and 2004).

			==History==
			The Barchetta was developed between 1990 and 1994 under the project name ''Tipo B [[Spyder\|Spider]] 176''. It was designed by [[Andreas Zapatinas]], Peter Barrett Davis and other [[automobile design\|car designers]] at the [[Fiat Centro Stile]], and prototyping was carried out by Stola.

			Production began in February 1995. The Barchetta was based on the chassis of the Mark 1 [[Fiat Punto]]. Its 131 [[horsepower#PS\|PS]] / 96 kW engine is the 1.8 L petrol engine, with [[twin-cam]] and [[variable camshaft timing]], which is notorious for its diesel-like clattering noise when failing. The Barchetta weighs 1060 kg (2337 lb) without [[air conditioning]] and can accelerate to 100 km/h in 8.9 seconds.

			The Barchetta was revised in 2003 for its relaunch the following year, with a myriad of small alterations inside and out. Production of the car finally stopped in June 2005.
			===Production===
			Car bodies were welded at ILCAS in Sparone Canavese, and final assembly was done in Chivasso by the coachbuilder [[Maggiora]]. After Maggiora's bankruptcy in 2002, Fiat relocated production of the Barchetta to its Mirafiori plant and resumed production two years later. Production of the Barchetta was limited to [[left hand drive]] cars only, even though the car was marketed and sold in two [[right hand drive]] markets, the United Kingdom and Japan.
