Very interesting answer. I don't know about the engine being used in this car. It is Nissan Micra based. LOCKED for you to find its designation

This is the Genioditta 1000 TC by Tokyo based company "Collection". It resembles the 1960's Abarth 1000 TC Corsa. The body is fitted with more than twenty Fibre Reinforced Plastic (FRP) parts. It is equipped with a radiator grille with a huge open mouth, rear overfenders, and a louvered tailgate to resemble the original Abarth rear-engined car. In addition, an Abarth-style oil pan with fins cut is reproduced at the rear. Of course, this is a dummy as the 997cc 58 BHP engine for the second generation Nissan March (Model K11) is in the front. The interior is equipped with a multi Jaeger-style instrument cluster set on a FRP panel, the centre console is also equipped with two gauges to resemble the Abarth and MOMO steering wheel is installed. The 4-cylinder OHC engine of the March three-door base model was kept, but a stainless steel muffler is installed and the suspension is changed compared to the Nissan one. The wheels/tyres are larger and wider than the standard Nissan March which are 155/70/R13. The Front size is 185/55/R14, rear size is 195/55/R14. The gearbox is a standard four gear automatic transmission

Three of these Genioditta 1000 TC's were made in 1993.

Right, 'Alfa_Japan', it is the Genio Ditta, you've described in any detail.
Since the puzzle was locked for 'Shamrock 2', who was very close to the solution, I would like to adward both of you with a (Christmas-) point

Whoops  :o. I didn't realise the lock, I overhead it. Sorry to both Shamrock 2 and fromwien! I'll stay more alert in 2025 to not break locks like this again  :-[   Since I violated rules you can deduct my point.
