This remake of the Bizzarrini 5300GT Corsa is a perfectly wrought evocation of a '60s Italian icon. DickieMeaden finds out what makes it so 'right'...
– is already well underway, with styling by Giugiaro. Further exploration of the Bizzarrini back catalogue is also likely, in conjunction with an expansion of the contemporary model portfolio that promises to explore a variety of powertrain options that celebrate the past and acknowledge present and future environmental challenges. Bold promises are commonplace at this end of the market, but the quiet yet insistent way Bizzarrini is going about its business feels different.
Rather than Avional or glassfibre, the Revival uses carbonfibre for its bodywork. Given Bizzarrini’s love of advanced methods, this feels in keeping with his ethos and ensures the Revival’s bodywork is strong, light and beautifully finished. It’s a one-piece body – surely one of the largest of its kind – that drops onto the steel lower structure like a 1:1-scale Tamiya model. To increase safety the original steel structure is supplemented by an FIA-approved roll-cage.
Start the engine and that sense of being in the belly of the beast is intensified with the chatter of the transmission, the thrash of engine pulleys and the suck and snort from the bank of hungry 45 DCOE Weber carburettors. As tested this development Corsa Revival’s motor is running a soft state of tune, though all things are relative. In this case ‘soft’ is circa 400bhp, with the emphasis being a smooth, tractable spread of power and torque.
