The story
Founded by Giotto Bizzarrini in 1964, in Livorno.1
5300 Strada
In 1966 Bizzarrini S.p.A. released a street legal Grifo A3C as the Bizzarrini 5300 GT Strada (or Bizzarrini 5300 GT America, depending on the market). The body shape and mechanical parts were much the same as the Iso A3Cs, resulting in a coupe that is 43 inches (1.09 m) in height.
5300 Spyder S.I
Only three Bizzarrini GT 5300s Spyder S.I were built starting in 1966, Under Ing Giotto Bizzarrini supervision were turned out by Stile Italia (S.I) D'Iseglio -Ex Engineer of (Berton) and Sibona e Basano (SB) Ex-Chief Metalsmith & Ex Mold maker (Ghia). This 1966 Bizzarrini GT 5300 Spyder S.I (Prototype) was one of the stars at the 1966 Geneva Motor Show, shown as a spyder/targa versions, all three still survive today and two currently owned by the same person. https://bizzarrinispyder.com/.
1900 GT Europa
Bizzarrini also managed a scaled-down 5300 GT project. Designed for GM-Opel, it was based on the Opel 1900 platform. Bizzarrini's proposal was more aggressive and attractive in appearance, like a small 5300 GT. The production Opel GT was designed by factory stylists and was less aggressive, but still beautiful. Bizzarrini then decided to build the car on his own. Around 17 prototypes were completed. The car is officially named as the Bizzarrini 1900 GT Europa. One of these cars has a barchetta ("little boat") body. Some cars are powered by 1.3 L and 1.6 L four-cylinder engines sourced from General Motors, Alfa Romeo and Fiat. There is even a highly developed racing version with a SPICA fuel injection system.
Refoundation
In 2020, the rights to the Bizzarrini name were acquired by Pegasus Brands. The reborn company announced plans to revive the marque with new models that acknowledge Giotto Bizzarrini's racing and design heritage.
