01 / THE STORY

History & context

The Giaur 750 San Remo Berlinetta represents the Teramo-based manufacturer’s bold foray into the high-performance Grand Touring sector. Introduced as a one-off at the 1954 Turin Auto Salon, this rare and unique car was built with the intention of offering a combination of style and performance. Designed by the Italian coachbuilder Rocco Motto, the Giaur 750 San Remo featured a striking berlinetta body that captured the essence of post-war Italian sports car design with its sleek and refined lines. Under the hood, the Giaur 750 was equipped with a G1 engine, a 750cc unit capable of producing around 42 horsepower, providing an impressive level of performance for its size. Although modest by today’s standards, this engine allowed the car to reach respectable speeds, showcasing the capabilities of the compact powerplant in a stylish, performance-oriented package. The car’s introduction at the prestigious Turin Auto Salon marked a key moment for Giaur as it aimed to carve a niche for itself in the competitive sports car market. The 750 San Remo, with its elegant design and efficient engineering, embodies the ambitions of smaller manufacturers trying to rival more established names in the industry. As a one-off creation, the Giaur 750 San Remo is a rare gem today, and its uniqueness, combined with its period-specific design and modest performance, makes it an interesting piece of automotive history.
