Not quite as close to 'Dragster' as that!

'Drag Racer'?

Not strictly but drop the second word and you've got it!
Since you have included the right answer, "Drag", we'll call it solved.

Below are 2 pictures, the front view taken when the car was on display at Turin in 1970 and the rear sketch where you can see the name on the bootlid.  I thought the name was on the front licence plate but you can't see it there; it actually says 'Moretti 128' but perhaps it says 'Drag' beneath '128'.  In the rear view it also seems to call it 'America'; a slight case of schizophrenia I think!
