Major, founded in 1948 on a draft of the engineer Salvatore Majorca baised in Turin, . Its aim was very clear: to create a very exceptional piece of art, both stylistically and mechanically.
As for aesthetics, one can not but look confirm the opinion of all those who see the Major was way ahead of it time compared to the competition. The study of the creature is extraordinarily accurate, the line creates a unique form from which emerges only handlebars and wheels. And if you believe that the project was born after the Second World War, when there are so many is the Guzzini, one can imagine the emotion aroused by the Mayor at the time of his presentation.
In any case it is not just an exercise in style, as well executed. The entire front section formula effective shelter for the pilot and the body plays an important aerodynamic function. But the creation of Majorca surprising even for mechanics. The body seems to conceal suspensions, but in fact these missing. The floating effect is achieved through special rubber cylinders that are interlayed the hub and wheel rim. The Mayor is a fascinating project, but it was too expensive to come into production and thus remains a single copy.
