Moto Guzzi set up "The Style Laboratory" in 2002 with well-known tuners Ghezzi & Brian at the helm. Their prototype MGS-01 appeared at the Intermot Show towards the end of the year.
A road version was mooted but only the Corsa was produced in low volume, around 130 to 150 in total. The engine was a much-modified Centauro with the capacity increased to 1225cc, Cosworth high compression pistons, performance camshafts and a 6 speed gearbox.
Production ceased in 2005 but it was listed in catalogues for some years after that.
