Description:

Born in 1926, Giotto Bizzarrini was one of the leading racing car designers in Italy. Among other things, he designed the legendary Ferrari 250 GTO at Ferrari, which is now one of the most expensive sports car classics. He developed the V12 engine for Lamborghini, which was installed in the 350 GT, and supported the Iso company in the development of the Iso Rivolta and Iso Grifo. His dream was to build a competitive racing car that could beat the Ferrari 250 GTO. He developed a sports car with a consistent lightweight aluminium construction, a low centre of gravity and a set-back engine. In a performance-optimised version, the Chevrolet engine achieved around 450 hp. The top speed was specified at around 275 km/h. A total of around 149 vehicles were produced between 1963 and 1969 as road and racing versions. The small production run, the fabulous performance and acceleration from 0 to 100 in just 6 seconds and, last but not least, the extremely powerful looks made the Bizzarrini GT Strada 5300 a legend even in the 1960s.

The vehicle presented here is one of the few remaining original Bizzarrini 5300 GT Stradale from 1968. The car has been in our client’s circle for over 25 years and impresses with its very authentic and restored condition. A large folder with FIVA papers, invoices, valuation reports, old newspaper articles and an extract from the Bizzarrini register are available. An absolute rarity for enthusiasts, collectors and investors!
