There is a song by Rush, called Red Barchetta (Moving Pictures, 1980)
It is inspired by a short fantasy-story by Richard S. Foster and appeared in
Road & Track November 1973.
In the short-story the car is an MGB but this is not the Red Barchetta of the song. Neil Peart (the lyricist of Rush) adapted the story a bit and used a Red Barchetta instead of an MGB.
The Red Barchetta in the song is probably a Ferrari race-car, the Ferrari 166 (1950) which was nicknamed Barchetta.
