Giaur was formed in 1950 by the great Berardo Taraschi (previously of Urania) and the Giannini brothers, the name coming from Giannini and Urania. The engines were mainly Giannini units, although Fiat and Crosley items were also used, the latter mainly for the US market. Numerous successes were achieved in their class in motorsport, including the Mille Miglia. They also competed in American SCCA racing. Only 48 cars were made, 13 of which were the 750cc "Champion". These had removable fenders and were therefore eligible for both the Italian formula 3 series (open wheel 750 cc) and sports car races. Only four Giaur Champions are known in the world today. Below are pictures of some examples of the incredible and beautiful Giaur racing cars.
