| Type 9
The Moto Guzzi Le Mans, with its distinctive brutalist engine block and revered heritage, was destined to be the foundation of an Auto Fabrica creation. A client recognized its potential and commissioned the Type 9 build.
This project transformed the motorcycle by stripping away its unflattering plastics, emphasizing its Italian thoroughbred beauty. The result is a futuristic design highlighted by meticulously handcrafted tank and seat units that set new standards in dynamic styling. Simplicity, refinement, and intricate handcrafted details, including the signature sand-bent exhausts, exemplify the established Auto Fabrica design language and style.
Despite its stripped-down and aggressively styled appearance, the Type 9 is actively used and frequently ridden by its owner in the UK, showcasing its functionality alongside its aesthetic appeal.
