A single-cylinder Guzzi engine, with motorcycle origins, four independent suspensions, and a finely outlined Ghia bodywork. In the 1950s, the hunt for speed records was so strong that not even count Giovannino Lurani, a charismatic car enthusiast and fan of car races, was immune to it. Between 1956 and 1958 this car broke several records on the Monza circuit. The Nibbio II was also driven by Piero Campanella and Angelo Piaggio.
