The 750SS was one of the models in the Ducati series of motorcycles with air-cooled 4-stroke V-twin engines. It came out in 1973 as the first one in the SuperSport series. The prototypes for its GT and sport models were made with the bodywork of the Imola motorcycle. This was developed with the 900SS.

Fabio Taglioni and Giuorgetto Giugiaro teamed up as the engineer and designer of the 860 GT. Ducati released it to the public in 1974. In those days, it reached a maximum speed of 109 mph. According to Giugiaro, he took inspiration from a folded paper. That is the reason it has such straight edges and lines. Volkswagen Golf adopted the same look, as did the 192 Lotus Esprit and other models.
