That's the right car, yes, but I'd like to know its actual designer and the year is not right (neither is the spelling of the car either actually!).
Locked for you to complete/revise.

Sorry, small correction: The "Miki" has been presented at the "Salone Torino" in 1994. Partly based on a Fiat Cinquecento, 1000ccm-Fiat-Fire-engined.

Your information surpasses mine, which is of course not unusual..
I've tried to find out more about this car but with little success; I didn't know its power unit for example.
It does originally date from 1994, yes, but you still haven't given me the name of its designer.
Also I have a different spelling for the car's name.
Still locked for you.

Designer was an architect, who worked overa long period successful at the "Fiat Centro Stile": Mario Maioli.
I think, the correct name of the car is: "MiKi"
The MiKi is made using some components of the FIAT Cinquecento model. The base of this city car is a 530mm shortened Cinquecento platform. The overall length of the car measures only 2700 mm, width 1480 mm, wheelbase 1720 mm. The MiKi runs on 13-inch wheels. One-liter Fiat Fire engine or a hybrid engine could be used. Two-door-fibreglass-body, trunk-access is only possible through the interior of the car.

That's a different designer from the one I have and a different spelling of the car's name too.
That doesn't necessarily mean I'm right and you're wrong, but I'll need proof of your spelling and the designer.
You can always send it to me by Personal Message.

Is Rodolfo Bonetto your designer of this car? And "Mi Ki" the correct name?

Not Rodolfo Bonetto but a close relation..!
No, not Mi Ki (though that's the third different way of spelling its name that I've seen!).
Still locked for you; the information is easy to find.

Exactly!
He's Rodolfo Bonetto's son.
Well done.
