Good question - one I don't know the answer to; there's not much info on this car around.
Actually I wondered if it had any connection with the Rowan, with which de Tomaso was also involved around that time:

Anyone know the answers?

A bit smaller than the FIAT 850: wheelbase 1940 mm, front track 1180 mm, rear track 1191 mm.
Rear engine, rear driving wheels (World Car Catalogue 1971).
Automobil Revue, Berne (Turin Show Report 1970) quoted it with 400-700 ccm.
Precise name: Vignale Studio City Car
