As it's Italian, is it Fiat-powered?

Hmm, you've said it's Italian, but I'm increasingly convinced that this car is from the opposite end of Europe, as looking more closely at it again, it looks uncannily like the Chevrolet-powered Vox GT, which is proudly developed in Sweden  ???

You're absolutely right and I'm wrong; it was made in Sweden.
I first saw this car on YouTube and although the only sound was music I picked up a lot of points about it and I was sure it was said to be Italian... Maybe they said it looked Italian, although "Superleggera" was mentioned..
I then found a website which featured it and I still didn't pick up that the Swedish-language site meant it was built there.  D'oh....
However, you just need to check into it to give me the car's correct full name (not Vox but VERY close..).
Locked for you.

Oh, a typo on my part as far too much going on at the moment, just two weeks ahead of the Festival of Speed, so not concentrating as I should be!

It this is a Rox GT (with an R), not a Vox GT (with a V)!
