What is LaForza?

The LaForza model line
The LaForza name covered a single model line: the LaForza, listed for 1989–1990. It was based on the Magnum, designed and built by Italian company Rayton-Fissore.
How did LaForza develop?
The Magnum reached the US as the LaForza, adapted for that market. US versions were associated with a Ford V8 and automatic transmission, while the Magnum name was used elsewhere.
Where was LaForza sold, and was it electrified?
LaForza appears in official US EPA registration figures for 1989–1990. It was a petrol-powered 4×4, with no electric or hybrid version. EPA results use a different test procedure from European WLTP or NEDC figures and Canada’s 5-cycle results, so market figures are not directly comparable.
