The Adam Revo was a city car made by the now dead Adam Motor Company of Pakistan. It was the first car to be designed and assembled in Pakistan and was launched in 2005.[1] The name "REVO" was derived from the word revolution, which it was supposed to make.[2] However, production stopped by September 2006[3] due to unavailability of funds and lack of government support.[4] Only 600 cars were sold.[2]
