Ducati's only scooter, shown at Milan in January 1952 as a four-stroke rival to Vespa and Lambretta. It had an automatic transmission with a torque converter, electric start and 12V electrics, with Ghia-designed bodywork. It was heavy and complicated, regulation capped output, and only a couple of thousand were built before it was dropped in 1954.
