I would totally wheel it!!

For those of you who've never seen one before, this is the Ferves Ranger - cousin of the Fiat 500 and 600. If Fiat made a modern day version of this, I would so totally wheel it.

The Ferves Ranger Is The Mostest Cutest Off-Roader Ever


The Ferves Ranger is a cousin of the Fiat 500 and 600. It uses a Fiat 500F's engine (2 cylinder, 499cc, about 22 HP), a Fiat 600's suspension bits, and a custom body/tub designed for off-road use. The company, Ferves, gets its name from Ferrari Veicoli Speciali, and yes, that's Ferrari Special Vehicles. I guess for Ferrari, this vehicle is pretty "special." They only made about 600 Rangers, between 1966 and 1971.

Early Rangers were 2WD, but they soon added 4WD capability, and, interestingly, a very low-geared differential to allow the car to "walk" slowly through woods or other rough terrain. It seems like a pretty useful and capable little off-roader.

That's too cool. Like something you'd park in the living room so the real Jeeps don't eat it. I'd drive it all over the place.
