'Brixia-Zust' (originally 'Brixia-Züst') was an
Italian car manufacturer founded by engineer Roberto Züst, owner of
Zust company of
Milan. The affiliated company was situated in
Brescia, Northern
Italy. (Brixia is the antique
Latin for Brescia.) These companies are often confused. The company made racing cars that participated in
Targa Florio, an open road race in
Sicily.
The most interesting model was the ''10 hp'' in
1909, propelled by a three-cylinder 1495
cm³ engine. Car production ended—due to financial difficulties—in
1912. From
1918, when
Officine Meccaniche took over the Zust company, the Brescia facilities were used.
