We are very pleased to be working with Bizzarrini on their 5300 GT of which only 24 examples will be made. This is a recreation of their victorious Le Mans 24 hr car. They have just released information on the all new model and the exciting story from Bizzarrini continues below…
The GIOTTO
We are proud to reveal our first completely new car, the Giotto. Named after company founder, Giotto Bizzarrini, this is a limited run super sports car focused on delivering Italian design, exceptional luxury and an ultimate dedication to driving enjoyment.
A purist choice, authentic and incredibly rare. In the Giotto, a partnership first established 60 years ago is rekindled, with Giorgetto Giugiaro penning the design alongside his son Fabrizio. A young Giugiaro, whilst at Bertone contributed to the design of the Bizzarrini 5300 GT, so naturally there was no more qualified an individual to establish the design language of the first entirely new Bizzarrini model.
Designer Giorgetto Giugiaro comments; “To have the opportunity to design an entirely new car from Bizzarrini is a privilege. Our two names are united in nearly six decades of history and a series of now iconic designs. With the Giotto, we honour the past but we focus wholly on the future. Designed for purpose, and incorporating active aerodynamic technologies, we have created something that is both recognisably Bizzarrini and totally relevant for an entirely new era of this cherished Italian brand.”
In the Giotto, the same rare set of diverse skills possessed by the founder of Bizzarrini have come to inform the character of the new car, the Giotto will be defined ultimately by how it makes a driver feel.
We have now deliberately and authentically recreated Giotto’s vision by choosing not to only chase acceleration times or lap records, and developing a car that appeals to those experienced drivers seeking purity, authenticity and rarity.
The Giotto is vocal and emotive, it’s mechanical and it’s tactile. But it’s also incredibly practical and luxurious, delivered with the personality and emotion of a bespoke Italian brand.”
Further technical details will be revealed here later this year, as we will again look to our heritage for powertrain options. Bizzarrini’s work on the first Lamborghini V12 provides inspiration, with an exclusive naturally aspirated V12 engine in development. Designed to meet Bizzarrini-specific performance, drivability, emissions compliance and emotive targets, the V12 will be paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Testing begins in 2024, the Giotto is the centerpiece of our future as an exclusive supercar manufacturer. It forms the heart of a ten year strategy that will see additional variants and more Revival models from Bizzarrini while also firmly placing this historic and revered name among the very best performance brands in the world.
