01 / THE STORY

History & context

The Moretti 750 Tour De Monde stands as a testament to the craftsmanship and ambition of Giovanni Moretti, founder of Moretti Motors. Established in 1925, the company reflected Moretti’s dream of producing high-quality cars under his sole management. Driven by passion and precision, Moretti’s vehicles quickly gained a reputation for excellence. A significant moment in the company’s history came in the early 1950s when two journalists undertook an extraordinary journey in a Moretti 600 Giardinetta. This remarkable adventure, dubbed the “Tour du Monde,” spanned an impressive 120,000 kilometers across the globe between 1952 and 1955. Confident in the durability and performance of his engineering, Moretti sealed the engine of the vehicle before the journey began. The Giardinetta not only completed the grueling event but did so with ease, cementing the brand’s reputation for reliability and endurance. To celebrate this historic achievement, Moretti unveiled the Moretti 750 Tour De Monde at the 1957 Turin Motor Show. Designed as both a tribute to the journalists’ daring feat and a showcase of Moretti’s engineering expertise, the 750 Tour De Monde featured advanced mechanics and a sleek, elegant design that encapsulated the brand’s ethos. Powered by a refined 750cc engine, the car combined performance, efficiency, and reliability—qualities that Moretti Motors had become synonymous with. The Tour De Monde was more than just a car; it was a symbol of the adventurous spirit and meticulous engineering that defined Moretti Motors. It embodied the ambition to conquer new challenges and push boundaries, appealing to customers who sought both functionality and flair. Although Moretti Motors eventually faded from prominence, the legacy of the 750 Tour De Monde remains a shining example of the company’s golden era—a period when Moretti’s vision for excellence translated into vehicles that could literally go the distance.
