In 1962 the Italian drivers association ANCAI awarded Vittorio Stanguellini the world trophy for manufactures of Formula Junior cars. The world speed records were another challenge won by Vittorio.

 

Pietro Campanella and Angelo Poggio took the 'Nibbio' record breaking veihicle with its Guzzi engine to the modenese for fine tuning,leading 24 international records.

 

The innovative Colibri with Stanguellini tubular chassis and bodywork designed by Franco Scaglione was built on the wave of  success,this veihicle with extreme aerodynamic characteristics,intially designed to house the powerfull and gowndbreaking eight-cylinder Guzzi 500 engine,clocked up six world records on the high speed track in Monza (October 1963) ,driven by the more modest and classic single cylinder Guzzi 250 engine. 

​

The all aluminum body was produced by Vaccari & Baccrini-Carrozzeria Gransport.
