TESTED 28.3.22, MILLBROOK PROVING GROUND ON SALE NOW
What you’re looking at is a recreation of the 1965 Bizzarrini 5300 GT, but because it’s made by the people who now own the rights to the Bizzarrini name, it can be more properly considered a continuation car. Just 24 will be built and each will cost £1.65 million before extras. Which is a lot.
Then again, the Bizzarrini name is one of the most enigmatic in automotive history and, had the breaks fallen only slightly differently, could now be up there with Ferrari and Lamborghini. And to understand the car then and now, you must first understand just a little about the bloke whose name it bears.
Giotto Bizzarrini is one of the most remarkable people this industry has ever produced. His claims to fame include being the chief engineer of the legendary Ferrari 250 SWB, the chief architect of the even more revered 250 GTO and the designer of the V12 engine that powered every 12-cylinder Lamborghini from the company’s launch in 1963 to the end of the Murciélago in 2010.
