The flagship of the Rio fleet is the "Colorado" with a total length of 8.2 m. and a width of 2.62 m.
Two 177 hp Chrysler engines provided sufficient power. An elegant top-of-the-range speedster — fully accessorized — satisfying every wish.
Features included a cabin in the bow, with sleeping facilities for two and a toilet. For later models, the customer was able to choose between the "Colorado," "Colorado Tourismo," and later the "Super Colorado," which can even be ordered with large blocks:

The upgrade to the Rio Colorado/Colorado Tourismo was the "Super Colorado" with a length of 8.45 m. and a width of 2.62 m. This was available to order in two different engine versions.
