Funnyly enough I was sure that this puzzle would be saved in the rookie section and wondered why this has not been posted earlier.

But now it seems this will get a hard nut :)

So let´s gon on with it:

it is not italian either.

My eagle-eyed friend, wow!
I wouldn´t have been able to decrypt the make of the tires...

It will not really help you though...   :D

So let´s move on and give some hints:

It´s not french and not even from europe.

Only its huge displacement resembles an airplane engine.

It features an italian racing engine.

No, it had been built and raced in the US of A.

And I think nearly every single person around the world may have seen at least one of its wheeled products in his life.

"not an american car company at all." - but it was built and raced in the USA. Strange.

They´ve built cars only for some years many decades ago.

I do not know trucks but many other heavy wheeled and motorized equipment of this company.
