"As early as 1959, in line with their policy of replacing old with new, Ducati phased out its Gran Sport models in favour of the new Formula 3 series. It was to be built in three engines: the 175 (1959-61), the 125 (1959-61) and the 250 (1961-62). All three were pure-bred, hand-built racing motorcycles, built for Italian Formula 3 competition." – Mick Walker, Ducati- The Racing Story.
Francesco Villa took first place in the 1958 175 F3 GP race at Monza.
It is believed that fewer than 100 were built.

Scooters
1952 175 Cruiser scooter
This very advanced design was the first 4 stroke scooter available from a major European manufacturer and used a 175cc OHV motor. Another first was the electric starter. The standout feature however was the automatic gearbox which used a hydraulic torque converter & crown wheel/pinion drive to the rear wheel. The bodywork styling was by Ghia. Unfortunately the weight and complexity of the design resulted in both poor performance and unreliability so the Cruiser was discontinued in 1954 with only about 2000 built.
12hp (later reduced to 7.5 to meet new regulations). 154kg.
