Look of the front reminds me Bizzarrini's cars... Is it something from Giotto Bizzarrini?

Allemano · October 15, 2010, 06:23:34 AM

Well yes, do you know which one? I give you 24h to find the right model.

missed opportunity — open again!

Aaron65 · October 17, 2010, 08:45:41 AM

To me it looks like a Bizzarini styled Maserati Ghibli or Indy...

Allemano · October 17, 2010, 08:46:46 AM

But that's not what it is!

Iluvatar · October 17, 2010, 10:31:54 AM

If it isn't a Bizzarrini could be an Iso Grifo?

Allemano · October 17, 2010, 10:34:10 AM

It's a Bizzarrini.

Aaron65 · October 17, 2010, 10:43:55 AM

Bizzarrini Lamborghini?

Iluvatar · October 17, 2010, 10:57:04 AM

Could be a Vignale Bizzarrini 5300??

Allemano · October 17, 2010, 10:59:41 AM

No.

Aaron65 · October 17, 2010, 01:15:55 PM

Hmmmmm. Is it a variant of the Bizzarrini Europa 1900? The one that was based on the Opel chassis?

No, it's not that.

Some characteristics of this cars reveal a relationship with Bizzarini 5300.
I think it's a special 5300, but I really don't know who did this.

Yes, it has a relation to the 5300. Bizzarrini only built two different production cars, so, this connection was quite likely...
However it's indeed a special one. And it's the only ever built.

Iluvatar · October 18, 2010, 08:51:02 AM

I think this car could be a prototipe for a new style of the 5300, which was never built.
Designer could be Giugiaro (Italdesign).

Allemano · October 18, 2010, 08:55:55 AM

Yes and no.

Ecnelis · October 18, 2010, 11:02:36 AM

There was Bizzarrini 5300 Stille Italia Spyder prototype with pop-up headlights, so maybe this is Bizzarrini 5300 Stille Italia Coupe?

As it is not a "Spyder" it can't be the one you've mentioned.

Bizzarini 5300 prototype by Franco Scaglione? (Bertone)

Allemano · October 28, 2010, 11:50:42 AM

As far as I know Scaglione wasn't involved.

Bertone prototype?

Allemano · October 28, 2010, 01:23:03 PM

My source reveals nothing about an external design studio, so I think it was an in-house design.

als15 · October 28, 2010, 04:02:19 PM

A crazy guess... one of the last unfinished Bizzarrini 5300 completed some years later with a 6-cylinder Fiat 2300 engine?
