This caught the eye even of then Ferrari Formula One driver John Surtees who promptly won the 1964 champion using a MOMO wheel. The little operation Moretti-Monza was now a full-fledged company and from 1969 production commenced in a factory in Tregnano, Italy. Thus the brand MOMO was born.As is common for suppliers in the broader automotive world, MOMO has had to strike a balance of supplying parts to auto manufacturers for regular road-going cars with providing the more specialized products for racing and the performance aftermarket. Getting this balance right allowed MOMO to continue to be at the forefront of racing development and collect many race wins for its steering wheels, alloy wheels and seats. Winning the 24 Hours of Daytona, the 12 Hours of Sebring and the 6 Hours Watkins Glen in one year is one such achievement. The driver list is also a who's who of famous racing drivers: Mario Andretti, Ayrton Senna, Nigel Mansell, Nelson Piquet, Michele Alboreto, Michael Schumacher, Niki Lauda, Jackie Stewart., Clay Regazzoni and the list goes on and on.Such a storied brand, associated universally with quality and winning races, deserves an ownership group and leadership team which carries on that tradition. Through a complete restructuring of the brand in 2011 to focus back on racing, the brand is now flourishing globally, not because the tradition has been upheld, but because the products continue to be of the highest quality and performance. MOMO also continues to be engaged at the highest levels of racing to showcase and use its own products.

The team at Torqued is super excited to now have the full set of many MOMO product lines in stock, including all current racing steering wheels, almost every single seat model and some of the safety products as well. See you on the grid!
