Bizzarrini Centanario Edition marks founder’s centenary and closes out 5300 GT Revival series

Bizzarrini has unveiled the Centanario Edition of its 5300 GT Corsa Revival continuation car, marking the 100th birthday of founder Giotto Bizzarrini. The special edition makes its public debut at FuoriConcorso, Villa Grumello, Lake Como, on 16-17 May.

Distinguishing the Centanario Edition are gloss black paint and ‘100’ motorsport roundels. Its Giorgetto Giugiaro-designed composite bodywork and 400bhp 5.3-litre naturally aspirated V8 are otherwise unchanged from the rest of the Revival series.

Built to FIA Appendix K regulations and race-ready from the outset, the 24-car Revival series entered production in 2022. The Centanario Edition is the last of the run, paving the way for the marque’s first all-new model since the 1950s – the V12-powered Giotto hypercar.

‘The Centenario Edition is the perfect reflection of our legacy, as well as an homage to our founder, Giotto Bizzarrini,’ said Bizzarrini chief executive Isobel Dando. ‘One hundred years on from his birth, the Bizzarrini brand is about to take the next exciting step in that story, the Centenario Edition exists to celebrate what has come before as we close that chapter and step into the future.’

Bizzarrini has also launched Fabbrica Bizzarrini, a programme allowing collectors to officially register, authenticate and restore their cars with the brand. Further details will follow in the coming months; interested owners can contact the team at [email protected].
