From Torino - one of the funniest named cars ever. Fiat 500 based and Ferrari had input into the design.

On the right track though I have found a thread on the web with pictures of both this car and the Ferves Ranger on the same page. The company appears to still be in business in Turin making light car trailers.

Yes see: http://www.wheelsofitaly.com/wiki/index.php/FART

Quote:
FART (Fabbrica Autoveicoli Rimorchi Torino), based in Turin, launched the engineer Ferrari designed prototype of an off-road vehicle that was presented at the Turin Motor Show in November 1965. Production was never started and the number of vehicles produced were probably only three.

This was a tiny cross-country vehicle powered by a rear-mounted Fiat 500 Giardiniera engine. It had extremely simple and strait forward controls with bodywork was entirely open and could seat up to four. Versions were offered with two set of wheels per axle and an extra gear reduction, enabling it to crawl up a 40 per cent gradient and achieve a top speed of 40mph (64km/h).
"

Sometimes also wrongly and unfairly called the Ferrari Fart see : http://ozebook.com/wordpress/?p=1912

Just imagine trying to full chicks with this. I don't think even fibbing and calling it a "Ferrrari Fart" would do it.

That would be the Adam Revo from pakistan. That was quite a challenge.

Here's an easy one. Shouldn't take too long to pick.
