Overview[edit | edit source]
Ducati 175T Turismo
Designed
by Fabio Taglioni, the first Ducati overhead-camshaft single - the 100 Gran
Sport - appeared on the racetrack in 1954 and soon proved unbeatable in its
class.
Taglioni's versatile design proved capable of considerable enlargement, being
produced in various capacities from the original 98cc up to 450cc.
The 175cc class was popular in Continental Europe and Ducati's first
offerings in that category appeared towards the end of the 1950s. A pair of
175cc roadsters was introduced for the 1956 season, the Sport version of which
(known as the 'Silverstone' in the UK) was capable of more than 80mph in road
trim and close to the 'ton' when stripped for racing, an astonishing achievement
at the time and one that helped establish the giant killing reputation long
enjoyed by Ducati's miniature masterpieces. Alongside it Ducati offered the 175
T (Turismo), which was made in a lower state of tune and became the TS (Turismo
Speciale) for 1958. Manufactured for only a few seasons.
