Iveco Turbostar series was introduced in 1984 as the successor of Iveco Turbo series. Even though the cabin looks the same at first glance, there were some differences: it was larger and higher. Spoiler, fenders, and many other parts were redesigned to achieve better aerodynamics coefficients. Interior too have been redesigned to improve comfort.
The first range included the L6 intercooler 190-33 (330hp) and V8 190-42 (420hp), then 190-33 was replaced with 190-36 (360hp) in 1987 and in 1989 was introduced 190-48 (480hp).
