Panther 1977

The Panther 6 is an extravagant six-wheel convertible powered by a mid-mounted 8.2l Cadillac V8 engine with twin turbochargers. The six wheel configuration is inspired by the Formula 1 Tyrrell P34. The rear wheels has 265/50 VR16 tyres and two pairs of steerable front wheels are 205/40 VR13. The specification includes a detachable hard top and convertible soft top, electronic instruments, air conditioning, an automatic fire extinguisher, electric seats and windows, a telephone and a television set.

Only 38 Rios were built between 1975 and 1977. A rarer Rio Especial used the high-performance Triumph Dolomite Sprint as its basis.
