Specifically, Guzzi has taken inspiration from the V8 model of 1955, which was built to compete in the 500cc World Championship. Another source of inspiration was the 350 Bialbero, which won nine consecutive world titles (5 rider, 4 manufacturer) from 1953 to 1957.
The special 100th anniversary livery also means that the V9 model will return to Australia. While the local distributor, PS Imports, has opted not to import the V9 in recent years, it's expected that it will offer the 100th anniversary version for 2021.
Moto Guzzi recently announced its updated V85 TT model, as well as the new V7 model which has been overhauled for 2021. Both models have a range of unique colour schemes, but will now also be available in the 100th anniversary livery, along with the V9.
In addition to the new livery, Moto Guzzi will also hold a special event at its headquarters in Mandello Del Lario. The event is set to take place from September 9-12, 2021.
Moto Guzzi was founded by Carlo Guzzi, Giorgo Parodi and Angelo Parodi on March 15, 2021 in Genoa, Italy. The trio established a factory in Mandello Del Lario, on the shore of Lake Como, and it has remained there ever since.
The eagle in the Moto Guzzi emblem is a tribute to Giovanni Ravelli, a pilot who helped conceived the idea for the company and later died in a plane crash.
The Centenario livery models will arrive in May this year, however pricing is yet to be announced. The livery will only be available in 2021.
