 Hi,
Adrian Frutigers Univers in Bold Ultra-Condensed?
http://www.fonts.com/DE/detail.htm?pid=202133
It's called Zurich BT Extra Condensed on Corel-Draws font collection. But it's a little bit wider than the real Ultra-Condensed Univers, see image above.
Bye Bye

Oh well, what can I say about Adrian Frutiger's best known font?
Ok, let's say it's a Swiss typeface, with a Swiss design, with its own Swiss clarity. It's probably one of the most readable (legible?) in the whole set of typefaces.
I think it's cool – not in the meaning of stylish, but cool, as a thing thrown out of the fridge. It certainly makes its job well: it's been designed for CDG's airport signs and banners. Aside from that and road signs or very conservative logos and the small print – address and the like – in the stationery, I do not think I'd use it.
Helvetica, to name another Swiss-made bestseller, has more flair to me and it's more versatile.
(and yes, I do love Switzerland: the square flag, her William Tell and all the cows. And the lakes, the mountains, the weed)

For those interested, found this info(by Bitstream):
Frutiger
--------
This typeface design was initially prepared by Adrian Frutiger
for his friend Alfred deVolz at Sofratype. The working drawings
were made by Andre Guertler. The face was called Concorde and
was released in 1968.
When Linotype purchased Sofratype, the face was withdrawn, and
the rights were returned to Frutiger.
The design re-appeard in 1970-71 on the signage for the Charles
de Gaulle airport at Roissy outside of Paris.
Linotype purchased the design from Frutiger and it was
re-released as the typeface Frutiger in 1976.
It has also been released under these names, in no particular
order:
