In the year 2000, Velusso Automobili, the renowned Italian supercar manufacturer, was at the zenith of its success. While their high-end supercars and hypercars were revered globally for their exceptional performance and luxury, the leadership at Velusso recognized a unique opportunity to expand their influence and cater to a wider demographic. This vision was the catalyst for the formation of the Velusso Motori Group (VMGA).
VMGA was established with the goal of diversifying Velusso’s portfolio and introducing a brand-new arm of the company that would focus on creating more affordable and accessible vehicles for a broader audience. The group was tasked with finding a way to leverage Velusso’s engineering expertise and design finesse to deliver vehicles that were not only budget-friendly but also in alignment with the high standards of Italian craftsmanship.
At the helm of VMGA’s ambitious venture were Giovanni Moretti and Sofia Luna, two exceptionally talented engineers and designers. Their combined experience and innovative thinking made them the perfect choice to lead this revolutionary project.
For years, Giovanni and Sofia worked tirelessly behind the scenes at Velusso Automobili, aiding in the pursuit of pushing the boundaries of automotive engineering and design. Their mission was to create vehicles that embodied Italian elegance and ingenuity while making them accessible to a broader range of consumers.
In 2003, VMGA was ready to unveil their groundbreaking achievement to the world. The announcement of Modessi Motori was not just about a new brand; it marked the inception of a new era in Italian automotive history. Alongside the introduction of Modessi Motori, VMGA revealed two remarkable vehicle lines - the Famuni Sedan and the Utilia SUV. These vehicles combined the luxurious Italian aesthetic and advanced engineering expertise of the new Modessi team, with affordability and accessibility in mind.
The Famuni Sedan and Utilia SUV lines were welcomed with great excitement, showcasing the perfect blend of high-quality craftsmanship and affordability. With this momentous launch, VMGA solidified its commitment to providing consumers with options that didn’t compromise on performance, style, or value.
The creation of Modessi Motori and their unveiling of the Famuni and Utilia models became a testament to the passion, innovation, and forward-thinking of the new brand. It showcased that luxury and accessibility could coexist harmoniously in the world of Italian automotive engineering, and it was a pivotal moment in the history of the automotive industry.
