Bizzarrini GT America Founded in 1960 by Giotto Bizzarrini, an engineer who had previously worked with Alfa Romeo and Ferrari, the Bizzarrini marque embodied the same spirited Italian DNA. Like Ferrari and Alfa, Bizzarrini focused on high-performance sports cars that combined engineering excellence with unmistakable Italian character.
This manufacturer lasted less than a decade, but left behind a legacy that continues to ignite the imagination of classic car aficionados. Founded in 1960 by Giotto Bizzarrini—a brilliant engineer who had previously worked at Alfa Romeo and Ferrari—the Bizzarrini brand carried the same passion for performance and Italian flair as his former employers. Like Ferrari and Alfa, Bizzarrini specialized in building high-performance sports cars with unmistakable character.
Yet despite flashes of brilliance, the company struggled commercially and shut its doors in 1969. Still, it wasn’t without its triumphs. One of the most notable was the Bizzarrini GT, powered by a 5.4-liter V8 sourced from the Chevrolet Corvette. In 1965, the GT secured first place in its class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and finished ninth overall—an extraordinary achievement considering the competition from motorsport titans like Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Porsche.
Today, a piece of that legacy can be yours—for around $425,000.
