The best-selling model of the Spanish brand, the Rigel Tinto continues to grow and increase the family to arrive in 1999 loaded with novelties, as well as new variants, engines and colors. In these first two years of sales in Europe, we have been able to enjoy up to 5 different versions, from the simplest to the most sporty.
To end the millennium and begin the 2000s, Tinto renews its entire range of engines, now including remodeling that improves performance, as well as consumption in both gasoline and diesel engines. Introducing for the first time LPG engines with low fuel consumption.
Important changes
Complete restructuring of colors, now each version will correspond to a different color and this will be chosen correctly in BEAMNG DRIVE.
Design harmony, as with the Dagel brand, from this model we will begin to see changes that will aesthetically differentiate the models from each other, such as the use of details in plastic, aluminum, chrome or metallic paint.
The introduction of an automatic model and the complete renovation of the sports models, separating this last category into two different versions.-
- GTrs, the gasoline version for the sporty finish of the Rigel Tinto, called Gran Turismo Rigel Sport and will mount a 1.8 with 150 horsepower.
- GTrd, for the first time we include in the brand a sports model that will mount a diesel engine, a 2-liter 140 horsepower and the name of Gran Turismo Rigel Diesel.
As it is a car known by the community, we will not carry out the typical in-depth review of each model, below we can see different photos of each model as well as their engines and prices:
