In the mid-60s, Ferrari engineer Giotto Bizzarrini founded the company Bizzarrini, which operated successfully for 5 years, after which it ceased operations. Two years ago the company was relaunched and the first product was the Bizzarrini 3500 GT Corsa Revival inspired by the 1965 Le Mans winner.
Two years since its unveiling, the first Bizzarrini 3500 GT Corsa Revival has reached its owner. “We have an ambitious long-term vision for the Bizzarrini brand, and the 5300GT Corsa Revival serves as either an introduction, or a reminder, of the storied heritage of Bizzarrini. We were thrilled with the car’s performance during endurance testing, delivering the same adrenaline-fueled driving experience as Giotto Bizzarrini’s original design. Now, as we complete the process of building the cars for our customers throughout the world, we are refining the initial engineering and design proposals for our modern supercar. Utilizing the very latest technologies, and built in with the ethos, passion and values of our founding genius, this will truly be a Bizzarrini for a new generation,” said company director Simon Busby.
It is powered by a 5.3-liter V8 engine with about 450 hp (331 kW). It is the original engine used by the 1965 Le Mans winning model. The car weighs 1,250 kg (2,711 lb), and buyers will be able to choose between a carbon fiber and fiberglass body.
When it comes to price, each car starts at 1.65 million pounds (around $1.67 million USD).
