The Urbanina was a pioneering electric microcar produced in Italy from 1964 to 1973. Designed by Marquis Pier Girolamo Bargagli Bardi Bandini and Narciso Cristiani in an 18th-century villa in the Tuscan countryside, it aimed to provide a compact, zero-emission vehicle for urban mobility.
It was showcased at the Turin Motor Show in 1965 and 1966, with a patent granted in 1977. Despite initial plans for mass production and thousands of reported orders, only a few units were built due to technological constraints, such as limited battery and electronic capabilities, and low environmental awareness at the time.
Production ceased in the early 1970s, and the project was sold to Zagato, which repurposed it into the Zele model, later exported to the U.S. as the Elcar 1000.
