No, that's not what it is, although believe it does have a Fiat 500-based engine.

It is a Steyr Puch IMP GT 700 a colaboration with Intermecanica.

The IMP was an aluminum two seater coupe with a top speed of 160 km/h.  This car was based on the small rear-engined Steyr-Daimler-Puch 500cc engined car.  The racing version won the 500cc class at Nurburgring.

Is the Puch engine really based on the Fiat 500 engine? (Ignorant question...I know, but I always belived the Puch engine to be a Steyr development)

You might be right, I'll have to look into it.
Steyr-Puch made a version of the Fiat 500 (Steyr-Puch 650TR) with a slightly modified body and I thought it used a slightly tuned and enlarged Fiat 500 engine, which would also have been used in this IMP in standard size form.  But you might be right.  Maybe someone knows for sure without me looking into it?  PJ? Alessandro?

The Steyr Puch a lot like the Fiat 500.

Same basic body, same floorpan, same front suspension.

The engine was not like the Fiat but  ( from what I've heard) a lot closer to the Porsche 365 engine, but chopped in half.
So it was a 2 cyl boxer instead of the 2 inline the 500 had. ( both aircooled )

Rear suspension was different too, it was a swingaxle.

intermeccanica puch (IMP)

That's it!
Closely based on the Steyr-Puch but marketed by Intermeccanica.
The name comes from InterMeccanica Puch.

Oh dear...  That's the 2nd time I've done that (re-posted my own puzzle that is).
Even the incorrect guesses were the same... talk about deja vu!

Assume you will merge this Otto?

Sorry..
