Another Interesting Guzzi prototype.

Moto Guzzi V4



The Moto Guzzi V4 was a prototype made by Lino Tonti.
The engine has the classic 90° V configuration but unlike twin-cylinders it has an overhead camshaft distribution controlled by a belt. The package, including the gearbox, does seem to be quite lengthy.



The V4 configuration was then taken up again for a study for the V7 and never put into production. A version of the engine does seem to have been mounted in a modified V twin frame but whether or not it was ever tried on the road I can not say. The photo below seems to show the engine mounted without a gearbox though it does have a starter motor fitted.
