Автор: On Turbo wrapper No. 45, the miniature hot hatch Innocenti Mini De Tomaso from 1983 is depicted. Essentially, it’s the legendary British Mini, but in Italian «clothing». 
Innocenti specialized in compact city cars. Since 1961, they have been producing the British Mini under license.
But Italians wouldn’t be Italians if they didn’t take on designing the car. In 1974, the Bertone studio created an entirely new body for the Mini. 
From the outside, the Innocenti Mini did not resemble its prototype at all. The exterior featured the stylish lines of the 70s. However, the insides remained British for a long time.
Since 1976, Innocenti (along with Maserati, by the way) became part of the De Tomaso group. The new owners, who dealt with supercars, decided to make the Italian Mini sportier. It was equipped with a 1.3-liter 72-horsepower engine, the suspension was improved, and a body kit was added. 
In the 80s, Daihatsu engines started being installed in the Innocenti Mini. The hot hatch depicted on the wrapper relates to this series.
Mini De Tomaso received a 1-liter turbo engine with the same 72 hp. 
The car, weighing 670 kg, accelerated to a hundred in 10.8 seconds and reached a speed of 163 km/h. This version was produced until 1990.
