Giorgetto Giugiaro
Giorgetto Giugiaro, the iconic designer, paired with his son Fabrizio, to craft the Giotto. If you’ve followed Bizzarrini’s timeline, you’d know this isn’t their first dance. 60 years ago, a young Giorgetto lent his genius to the timeless Bizzarrini 5300 GT.
Every inch of The Giotto resonates with design mastery. Remember the dual bonnet vents of legendary Bizzarrinis? They’ve evolved! The central Bizzarrini badge, a nod to the original 5300 GT, finds itself nestled between ultra-slim LED headlights.

But a Bizzarrini isn’t just about the looks. In partnership with Cosworth, Bizzarrini unveils an exclusive V12 engine for The Giotto. This naturally aspirated marvel, compliant with all global regulations, offers a capacity that pays homage to Giotto Bizzarrini’s birth date: 6626cc.
Every curve and corner of The Giotto spells aerodynamic efficiency. Bizzarrini draws inspiration from the genius’s past engineering feats, merging it with modern-day innovations. Dihedral front splitters from Formula One, an integrated rear wing, and rear diffusers ensure downforce remains optimal, no matter the driving condition.

When it comes to materials, Bizzarrini goes the extra mile. The Giotto showcases the best in lightweight materials, boasting a carbon fibre body structure. And soon, the world will see this beauty in action. Chris Porritt, the brain behind Giotto’s engineering, announces on-road testing for late 2024.
As we delve deeper into the brand’s strategy, key changes come to the fore. Julian Jenkins will spearhead Bizzarrini as the new CEO from November 2023. Meanwhile, the invaluable Ian Fenton remains by the brand’s side as an advisor, a role he shares with Dr. Ulrich Bez.
