The production took place at Scoiattolo SpA in Riva del Garda . In 1969, an all-wheel drive version called Super Scoiattolo was presented at the Turin Motor Show.
Initially, the vehicles were based on the Fiat Nuova 500 and had its two-cylinder engine with 500 cm³ displacement . The four-cylinder engine from the Seat 600 with a displacement of 767 cm³ was later used. From 1977 the two-cylinder engine from the Fiat 126 powered the vehicles with 23 hp .
