  • Logo Bizzarrini
    La storia del logo Bizzarrini Bizzarrini Nazione Italia Fondazione 1964 a Livorno Fondata da Giotto Bizzarrini Chiusura 1969 Settore automobilistico Note Attualmente il marchio è di proprietà della VGM Motors Sito web www.vgm-motors.it/ La Bizzarrini è un'azienda italiana operante nel settore automobilistico fondata nel 1964 da Giotto Bizzarrini. Fondata a Livorno col nome di Prototipi Bizzarrini diventa Bizzarrini S.p.a. nel 1966 per poi chiudere, dopo breve vita, nel 1969. Il nome è riapparso nel 1998 con una serie di prototipi. Attualmente il marchio è di proprietà dell'azienda lombarda VGM Motors s.r.l., fondata a Siziano (PV) nel 2002, intenta alla produzione in serie, indi non limitata a prototipi, con il modello Bizzarrini Ghepardo. La produzione resta comunque di tipo semiartigianale, come ogni prodotto nella storia del marchio. Storia Dopo aver lavorato per molti anni in Alfa Romeo, Ferrari e Iso Rivolta Giotto Bizzarrini decise di mettersi in proprio fondando così nel 1964 la Prototipi Bizzarrini. L'azienda era stata molto influenzata dallo spirito sportivo delle case dove Giotto aveva lavorato come ingegnere nel corso della sua vita, e soprattutto l'impronta sportiva dei modelli Bizzarrini era stata sicuramente trasmessa dalle sue esperienze con la Scuderia Serenissima e l'ingegnere aerodinamico svizzero Wunibald Kamm. Modelli Il primo modello portato avanti indipendentemente fu la versione da competizione della Iso Grifo, ovvero la Grifo A3C; fu proprio per alcuni punti di vista divergenti fra la Iso Rivolta e Giotto Bizzarrini riguardo alla produzione di questa vettura che l'ingegnere livornese lascia l'azienda Genovese per mettersi in proprio.

  • Experience the Name, 3Rd June 2021.Docx
    BIZZARRINI – Experience the name A new film showcases the rare beauty, timeless sounds and exceptional dynamism of Bizzarrini’s original 5300 GT Strada, the centrepiece of its heritage collection 3rd June 2021 [LONDON] A thrilling new short film celebrates the evocative shape and sound of the Bizzarrini 5300 GT Corsa, showing the marque’s own example being put through its paces at the Alpine Proving Ground at Millbrook in Bedfordshire. With Bizzarrini continuing to refine the design and develop the meticulous manufacturing processes that will underpin the Bizzarrini 5300GT Revival Corsa 24/65, this storied original example made its British debut. This followed an extensive reconditioning after a long period of storage. Click HERE to view the short film or HERE to download the .MP4 or .MOV version. Just 133 examples of the Bizzarrini 5300 GT were known to have built between 1964 and 1968, the majority of which were for road use. Although no authority can be 100% sure of the number of surviving original cars, the company’s own heritage fleet includes five Bizzarrini sports cars and several historic supporting vehicles. With a full film crew and kit in attendance, including tracking vehicles, drone operators and stills photographers, this 1965 example is the star of the show. The aluminium bodied Strada model was originally trimmed for road use, with a slightly narrower body and a less Spartan interior than its racing counterparts, the Bizzarrini 5300 GT Strada was an exotic and exclusive sports car. The film showcases the brilliance and boldness of Giotto Bizzarrini’s engineering and Giorgetto Giugiaro’s design.
