The Bizzarrini brand, reintroduced to the world with the 5300 GT Corsa Revival early in 2022, has revealed its first completely new car, The Giotto. Named after company founder, Giotto Bizzarrini, it 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. The bespoke carbon fiber body is intricately sculpted to intersect the mindsets of the designer, engineer and driver – crafted with purpose through the collective brilliance of the team.
Classic low-slung supercar proportions are seamlessly blended with core elements of Bizzarrini’s signature design DNA. The prominent dual bonnet-mounted vents of original Bizzarrinis are evolved into a new frontal visual character for the Giotto, incorporating ultra-slimline LED headlights. As they end in the center of the bonnet, they cradle a prominent center-mounted Bizzarrini badge, just as it was framed on the 5300 GT.
In profile, the Bizzarrini Giotto is marked out by a reimagining of the 5300GT’s triangular B-pillar and a rear windscreen that wraps so far around the rear it almost seems to cascade onto the wheel arches. Rear-mid-engine, rather than front-mid-engine like the 5300 GT, the predatorial forward stance of the Giotto is a visual representation of power driving from behind and conveys the might of the power unit. The tail gently tapers and curves away gracefully, creating an aerodynamic teardrop
shape.
Giorgetto Giugiaro said: “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 honor the past but we focus wholly on the future. Designed for purpose, and incorporating active aerodynamic technologies, we have created something that is both recognizably Bizzarrini and totally relevant for an entirely new era of this cherished Italian
brand.”
