As the official representative of Bizzarrini in Japan, Corse Automotive stands at the forefront of bringing this iconic brand to Japanese enthusiasts. Founded on the rich heritage of LMP CARS (LMP INTERNATIONAL Co., Ltd.), which celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2023, Corse Automotive is led by Dai Yamagishi, a motoring journalist with a diverse background in international racing, who brings a wealth of experience and passion.
With plans to establish a dedicated Bizzarrini showroom in Minato-ku, Tokyo in the second half of 2024, Corse Automotive will showcase the elegance and innovation of Bizzarrini to a discerning clientele. The showroom, reflecting Bizzarrini’s latest corporate identity, will serve as a hub for fans and potential customers to experience the brand’s unique blend of performance and design.
Dr. Saeed, president and CEO of Pegasus Automotive Group stated “We are delighted and honoured to have Corse Automotive, and in particular Dai Yamagishi, representing Bizzarrini. His enthusiasm, experience and passion for Bizzarrini is evident and together we look forward to developing the brand in Japan, amongst a discerning group of clients”
Dai Yamagihi commented “I am extremely proud and privileged to represent Bizzarrini, a brand I have long admired. With the 5300 GT Corsa Revival and the recently announced Giotto we are delighted to be in a position to offer our clients a unique opportunity to secure one of these extremely rare models and be a part of the Bizzarrini journey”
In 2023 Bizzarrini announced an exciting new model building on the legacy of engineering excellence, and pure elegant styling, The Giotto. Designed by the legendary Giorgetto Giugiaro, and his son Fabrizio, at GFG Style, The Giotto is a harmonious blend of the past and the present featuring a bespoke carbon fiber body that echoes the design elements of the iconic Bizzarrini 5300 GT, embodying both beauty and performance. This is particularly evident in The Giotto’s profile with its modern reinterpretation of the 5300GT’s triangular B-pillar and a sleek rear windscreen that seamlessly integrates into the wheel arches.
At the heart of this masterpiece is the exclusive Bizzarrini V12 engine, developed in partnership with Cosworth. This naturally aspirated engine is a poignant homage to Giotto Bizzarrini’s work on the original Lamborghini V12, with a cylinder capacity of 6626cc being a respective nod to the founders birth date, 6th June 1926. Engineered to deliver ultimate engagement and drivability, it meets worldwide legislative and emission regulations.
With the arrival of Bizzarrini in Japan, spearheaded by Corse Automotive, a new chapter unfolds in the realm of luxury automobiles. This venture not only signifies the expansion of a legendary brand but also offers Japanese automotive enthusiasts access to a unique blend of history, performance, and artistry. Bizzarrini’s commitment to innovation, coupled with its rich heritage, positions it uniquely in the hearts of collectors and aficionados alike. As we await the opening of the dedicated showroom in Tokyo, the anticipation for experiencing Bizzarrini’s craftsmanship first hand grows, marking a significant moment in Japan’s automotive landscape.
