Rare IVECO Daily 4x4 Tigrotto to make UK debut at Carfest

Thursday 22nd August 2024

Enthusiasts attending the hugely popular Carfest family motoring festival (23 - 25 August 2024) will have the chance to get up close and personal with the only right-hand drive IVECO Daily 4x4 Tigrotto in the world!

Making its UK debut on stand CF14, this fabled IVECO model is based upon the rugged IVECO Daily 4x4 and pays homage to its namesake of the 1950s. Tigrotto – meaning ‘tiger cub’ in Italian – boasts unique two-tone bodywork and red elements that hark back to the iconic original, as does the instantly recognisable badging. Its distinctive contrasting wheels and lightbar create an ‘adventure-ready’ look that’s both stylish and functional.

The interior is also unique with the cab sporting a ‘vintage’ inspired dashboard finished in contrasting shades crowned with a Tigrotto logo.

Just like its forefather, this Tigrotto is designed for the most challenging of missions and is equipped with all-wheel drive, a trio of locking differentials, a 176hp diesel engine, and Hi-Matic automatic gearbox with low-speed ratios to maximise traction on challenging terrain.

Adding to the impressive mechanical capabilities of the drivetrain is an advanced Electronic Stability Programme that helps prevent wheel-slip. A significantly increased ride height combined with excellent approach and departure angles further add to this Daily’s rugged credentials.

This specific 7-tonne Tigrotto (70C18HA8 WX) features a Brit-Tipp Dropside body that takes full advantage of the Daily’s tough truck-based chassis, something that provides a generous payload of up to 3,275kg, or 3,925kg without body. An integrated toolpod highlights that the Tigrotto promises significant substance to accompany its enhanced style.

Mike Cutts, IVECO Business Line Director Full Range UK & ROI said: “Carfest is the perfect event to showcase this very special IVECO Daily 4x4 Tigrotto as this vehicle is all about celebrating the passion and enthusiasm we have for our history. Being the only right-hand drive example in the world, this is a rare opportunity for everyone to meet our mighty Tigrotto.”
