The Moretti 128 Drag was a one-off concept coupé that Moretti of Turin built on the mechanical base of the Fiat 128 and showed at the 1970 Turin Motor Show. According to carrozzieri-italiani.com it was a design study, not intended for series production, with a two-seat fastback body designed by Dany Brawand, a pronounced wedge shape, concealed headlamps and a minimal rear overhang. It kept the Fiat 128 drivetrain, a front-mounted transverse inline four-cylinder engine driving the front wheels, and the site notes that the engine of the prototype itself is not independently verified. Only one example was made, used for promotion and exhibition, and the page says it does not appear to have been kept in the maker archives, so its present status is unknown. Wikipedia describes Moretti as a former Italian automobile manufacturer that built a range of Fiat-based models but does not name the Drag.
