Adam Revo was a city car made by Adam Motor Company of Pakistan. The brainchild of an over-ambitious entreprenuer named Feroz Khan, it was amazingly the first indigenously designed Pakistani car. It was fitted with a Made in China engine and transmission. Production of this model stopped by September 2006 [ [http://sections.asme.org/pakistan/archives/2007-03-June.pdf] ] due to political insecurity and turmoil in Pakistan, lack of funds due to an ever collapsing economy and empty promises made by Pakistan's government [ [http://thenews.jang.com.pk/daily_detail.asp?id=134049 Pakistan's Revo BITES THE DUST!] ] . The assembly plant is now shut for good and up for sale lock stock barrel [ [http://thenews.jang.com.pk/daily_detail.asp?id=134049 Pakistan's Revo BITES THE DUST!] ] .

There were two variants available, equipped with two different Chinese engines; the Revo 80 (0.8L) and Revo 105 (1.05L).

The Revo was envisaged to be between 10% and 15% cheaper than its foreign competitors, mainly the 30 year old Mehran 800 which is still the most popular car in Pakistan. The car's target audience was envisaged to be Pakistan's middle class car buyer.

The Revo proved to the world how excellent and capable was the Pakistani auto industry by producing a car that bit the dust in just a couple of months. The Revo has to some extent provided the blueprint and impetus for the Pakistani car industry to reach greater heights and eventually compete with larger car companies, within Pakistan and internationally. Sadly, the goal of the founder was not, and will not be attained with the Revo's production biting the dust for good.
