Norways most famous car was never meant to exist:

This one-of-a-kind car was first seen in Norways biggest international film success of all time, Flåklypa Grand Prix (The Pinchcliffe).

After the success of Flåklypa Grand Prix, filmmaker Ivo Caprino decided to build a full-scale, road-legal Il Tempo Gigante (1976).

Caprino was occasionally seen driving around the Hunderfossen family park, dedicated to Ivo Caprino’s films and stop motion universe, rooted in Norwegian folk tale and fairytales.

The film gained international popularity, particularly in Japan. Seen here, the original Japanese cinema poster.

To this day, Ivo Caprino is considered one of the greatest Norwegian film makers of all time, being a true pioneer in storytelling, stop-motion and film making.

Ivo Caprino died in 2001, leaving behind a magical cinematic universe that remains unmatched.
