Bizzarrini Giotto images are released

September 1, 2023

In February, Bizzarrini offered the first glimpse of an all-new Hyper GT called the Giotto. Six months later, following aerodynamic analysis validating the Giugiaro-designed styling, the first full images of the Giotto are revealed.

Bizzarrini the Giotto

There are also details of Bizzarrini’s exclusive V12 powertrain and together, these mark a key milestone in the journey towards the first customer deliveries of the Giotto planned for early 2026.

Named after the engineering virtuoso and company founder, Giotto Bizzarrini, the Giotto is designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, alongside his son Fabrizio at GFG Style in Turin, Italy.

This rekindles a brand partnership first established 60 years ago when a young Giorgetto, whilst at Bertone, contributed to the design of the original iconic Bizzarrini 5300 GT. Now his subtle refinements to the bespoke carbon fibre body of the Giotto have crafted a spiritual successor that delivers beauty, performance and usability.

A compelling blend of past and present, Giorgetto and Fabrizio have captured elements of the most legendary Bizzarrinis of all time and reinterpreted them for the modern era. The prominent dual bonnet vents have evolved into a new frontal visual character for the Giotto. As the ultra slimline LED headlights converge in the centre of the bonnet they cradle the prominent centre-mounted Bizzarrini badge, just as it was framed on the 5300 GT.

In profile, the Giotto is marked out by a reimagining of the 5300 GT’s triangular B-pillar and a rear windscreen that wraps so elegantly it seems to cascade onto the wheel arches. Being rear-mid-engined, the predatory stance of the Giotto is a visual representation of the enormous power delivered through its rear wheels.

Located beneath the curved lines of the rear screen is the exclusive Bizzarrini V12 engine being produced in partnership with Cosworth. The new naturally aspirated Bizzarrini V12 will meet all worldwide legislative and emission regulations and is being engineered to deliver ultimate engagement and drivability. In a poignant and fitting tribute to Giotto Bizzarrini, renowned for his work on the original Lamborghini V12, the engine will have a capacity of 6626cc – the date of his birth, June 6, 1926.

The genius of Giotto Bizzarrini remains the inspiration for this new supercar, not just in its powertrain choice, but also in its pursuit of aerodynamic efficiency. Just as he developed the cutting-edge design for the legendary Ferrari 250-based ‘bread van’, the technical and design teams behind the Giotto have focused on performance through purity of form. The Formula One derived dihedral front splitter and rear diffuser combine with the elegant integrated fixed rear wing to ensure appropriate downforce for all driving conditions.

One of Giotto Bizzarrini’s most recognised talents was his skill to push the limits of contemporary engineering. In its day Bizzarrini made extensive use of the strongest lightweight material available. Similarly, construction of the Giotto makes use of the lightest, strongest and most suitable materials available today. As well as the elegant carbon fibre skin, the Giotto is based on a carbon fibre body structure, drawing from technologies and manufacturing processes developed in top-tier motorsport.

In line with the original plan, the Giotto will commence on-road testing in late 2024.
