Bizzarrini has revealed its Centenario Edition, the last of the 5300GT Corsa Revival cars that form its continuation series.

This unique example was displayed at FuoriConcorso in Italy from 16-17 May and its name is a tribute to the marque’s founder, Giotto Bizzarrini, who was born 100 years ago.

The 5300GT Corsa Revival was announced back in 2021 to relaunch the Bizzarrini brand.

This UK-built recreation honours the Giorgetto Giugiaro-styled 5300GT Corsa, which topped its class and finished ninth overall at Le Mans in 1965.

The Centenario Edition is the 25th and final 5300GT Corsa Revival, marking the end of the model’s limited production.

Based on original drawings, the 5300GT Corsa Revival mixes Bizzarrini’s original ideas with modern materials and safety features. 

Underneath the lightweight, one-piece, composite bodywork, the Centenario Edition has a steel frame, independent rear suspension, disc brakes and a 5.3-litre V8 that has an output of around 400bhp.

According to its maker, the ’60s-inspired 5300GT Corsa Revival has ‘a power-to-weight ratio that rivals a modern supercar’.

Each one meets the FIA’s Appendix K regulations, meaning all are competition ready.

Giotto Bizzarrini, a University of Pisa graduate, cut his teeth at Alfa Romeo before he was headhunted by Ferrari, where he helped to engineer the 250GTO.

His relationship with Il Commendatore soured, though, and he later worked for Lamborghini, ATS and Iso, before establishing his eponymous firm in 1964.

The Bizzarrini brand went bankrupt in 1969, but the name was resurrected by Pegasus Automotive Group in 2020.

The Centenario Edition paves the way for the marque’s future.

The firm will now focus on the launch of the Giotto, the V12-engined supercar that was unveiled in 2023, the same year the company’s founder passed away.

“The Centenario Edition exists to celebrate what has come before as we close that chapter and step into the future,” said chief executive, Isobel Dando.

Bizzarrini has also announced an official registry to store information about its classic cars.

More details will be announced soon, but the new initiative will focus on authenticating and restoring historic models.
