In 1958, a new Same series was introduced, in which the model number indicated the number of cylinders and power class. The smallest model in the lineup, Sametto, also received the model number 120. The hood was higher than before, and the green parts were painted gray. The orange color was darker than before.

The engines were air-cooled direct injection diesels based on the previous models, with the cylinder diameter increased to 115 millimeters. There were more gears than before. The 240’s lifting device featured a draft control called SAC. This only came to the larger models in 1960.

In 1961, the 240 was replaced by the more powerful 250, which was three horsepower stronger. Its four-wheel-drive model had power transmission through a central shaft.

The 1963 Same 360 C featured a new 9+2 speed transmission and 65 hp. The 480 was renamed the updated Ariete 480. The power transmission was a completely new 8+4 speed system, and it had 85 hp. The four-wheel-drive model came standard with power-assisted steering.

The 450 V, which replaced the 250 and was only in production for a couple of years, had a 50-horsepower V4 engine.
