The reborn Bizzarrini corporation is subsequent up previous year’s 5300 GT Revival with an all-new V12 hypercar.
It’s known as Giotto just after Giotto Bizzarrini, the trailblazing engineer who served create cars and trucks like the Ferrari 250 GT SWB and 250 GTO, and created Lamborghini’s legendary V12 motor ahead of location up a firm bearing his very own identify. But though the 5300 GT Revival was a shut copy of the unique company’s 1960s racer designed to remind persons why the Bizzarrini identify issues, its successor would like to be compared with modern hypercars like the Pagani Utopia.
There is, however, just one major connection to the outdated days. The new car’s carbon bodywork was intended by Giorgietto Giugiaro, who worked together with his son, Fabrizio. Giugiaro experienced a big hand in the search of the 5300 GT even though doing the job as a younger gentleman at Bertone 60 several years in the past.
Giugiaro promises he has “created something that is both equally recognizably Bizzarrini and fully suitable for an entirely new era of this cherished Italian brand.” Anyone unfamiliar with the relationship would consider it is only an athletic-hunting modern day hypercar, but these horizontal nostrils made up of a pair of LED headlights are an apparent nod to its 1960s ancestor, and the press release also references a wraparound rear monitor and tapering, teardrop tail not obviously revealed in the handful of accompanying rendered photos.

Bizzarrini claims it will release far more full technological details afterwards in the yr, but does affirm that the Giotto will element a normally-aspirated V12 engine that complies with emissions regulations and is mated to an 8-velocity dual-clutch transmission. There’s no work on no matter if the automobile will function any type of hybrid assistance to help it satisfy emissions targets. Advancement of the drivetrain and the relaxation of the car’s engineering will be overseen by Bizzarrini’s Main Complex Officer, Chris Porritt, who has served time at Aston Martin, Tesla and Rimac.

“We have a pretty very clear eyesight for the Giotto, outlined in the end by how it will make a driver come to feel,” Porritt claims, introducing that his workforce is “choosing not to chase acceleration occasions or lap documents, but to establish a car that appeals to these skilled motorists trying to find purity, authenticity and rarity. This is vocal and emotive, it’s mechanical and it’s tactile.”
Testing of prototypes doesn’t begin right until 2024, but we’ll listen to more about the Giotto later this 12 months, presumably which includes how a great deal it expenses (we’re guessing upwards of $2.5 million, in line with Pagani’s Utopia charges) and how lots of the organization plans to construct. No matter what that quantity is, it is going to be built in appreciably larger portions than the 24 illustrations of the 5300 GT Revival that Bizzarini crafted to kickstart the company’s functions prior to it acquired down to the really serious organization of promoting a fashionable hypercar.
“The 5300 GT Corsa Revival was an introduction to the earth of the genius of Bizzarrini but the Giotto is the centerpiece of our long term as an distinctive supercar manufacturer,” mentioned the firm’s CEO, Ian Fenton. “It types the coronary heart of a 10-calendar year system that will see additional variants and far more Revival products from Bizzarrini although also firmly putting this historic and revered title among the the pretty very best functionality manufacturers in the entire world.”
