close but no. it has 3 wheels, it uses 126 (and even 127) parts (like lights, doors, glass...) but it is a production car and mechanically it is not related to the small fiats.

In that case is it a Reliant Robin? |

It looks off from a reliant... But I'm like you... I instantly thought of classic top gear

3-wheeler or "cyclecar"-like regulations, similar to the ones that gave birth to the robin in the UK, were (are) in place also in other countries. This particular model is italian.

Bi-Autogo from the 1910s. the tiny wheels are side stabilizers as basically it's a motorbike on steroids.

That little flat twin in the front looks like a pony motor for starting a dozer engine. Wrap the rope around that flywheel, give it a pull to start the pony, then let it warm the big diesel before cranking it up. I guess they needed it for a high compression hemi?

That is a early 331-392 style hemi with a pony motor of unknown origin spinning the blower stand alone , sombody was kinda thinking because the parasitic losses turning a big blower can be huge ( modern fuelers around 1200 hp lost turning the blower) ( but when your making 10,000 hp who cares lol) was a kinda good idea but I'm sure was lost in the hp race as impractical or sombody squealed because he had 2 motors (racers will do that lol) anyways I'm sure it worked a lil but makin it work right was prolly the death of it ,, side bar, Mickey Thompson built a dragster with the entire front of the chassis built as a air tank that he would fill with a compressor and had a huge regulator keeping the boost in check, supercharging the engine with enough air for a pass, it worked NHRA said " um , no " " your driving a bomb" and that died in a annals of hot rod history too ,, well ,,, WierdRace Cars rock!!!
