Ex-Aston Martin CEO Dr Ulrich Bez to head up Bizzarrini revival Bez will work alongside two ex-Aston Martin colleagues to resurrect Italian supercar marque https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/industry/ex-aston-martin-ceo-dr-ulrich-bez-head-bizzarrini-revival OPEN GALLERY London-based luxury car dealer group Pegasus Brands has detailed plans for its revival of the historic Bizzarrini marque, best known for developing a succession of strikingly styled, limited-run supercars in the 1960s. The low-volume Italian manufacturer was founded in 1964 by Giotto Bizzarrini, who previously had served as an engineer, test driver and engineer at Ferrari and Alfa Romeo. Over the next five years, the company raced with varying success at events including the Le Mans 24 Hours and launched the Strada, Europa and P538 sports cars before being revived in later years for a series of one-offs and concepts. Now Pegasus Brands plans to ensure "this legendary name lives on to compete on the global stage". Details of any future cars are thin on the ground, but the outfit will operate out of bases in London, Geneva, Kuwait, Abu Dhabi and Dubai and will build on the heritage of the brand "while also engaging with a new generation of collectors and enthusiasts". Bizzarrini's revival will be piloted by a trio of ex-Aston Martin executives, most prominently Dr Ulrich Bez, who served as CEO of the British brand from 2000-2013. Bez also spent time at Porsche - where he directed design and development for the 911 Carrera RS 2.7, 968 and 993-generation 911 - and was pivotal in Korean brand Daewoo's global success in the 1990s. As chairman of Bizzarrini, Bez will work alongside CEO Christopher Sheppard, who was previously the boss of Aston Martin Middle East North Africa, and chief marketing office Janette Green, who held a similar role at Aston Martin from 2005-2014. Bizzarrini himself isn't named in the brand's revival plans, but it's likely that his own designs will heavily influence any new products.

04 April 2022 Bizzarrini : 5300 GT Corsa Revival hits the road https://www.bizzarrini.com/news/2022-04-04/bizzarrini-5300-gt-corsa-revival-hits-the-road/9 https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=930711047602694 https://www.facebook.com/BizzarriniDesign .
Is this car on track to be produced? Was the prototype at Villa d'Este? On the Bizzarrini website https://www.bizzarrini.com/ they have the car pictured with the name 5300 Corsa Revival (another site calls it 5300 GT Revival Corsa 24/65, but does that mean it won't use the name Bizzarrini on the car? Who is the importer to the US? Was any price mentioned? I also read only 24 will be made. Is that 24 a year or forevermore?
Another question before anybody's answered the first questions I just asked A little bird told me Bitz's will meet up at Monterey at Bizzarrini Villa. Anybody got an address?. You can answer directly at [email protected] Image Unavailable, Please Login
