Bizzarrini Ghepardo Villa d´Este 06





Although the new car dwarved the 5300 GT next to it, there were a number of design cues shared by the two. One of the original Bizzarrini's most typical feature was the location of the Chevrolet V8, which was so far back in the chassis that the coils had to be accessed through panels in the dashboard. True to the original, the new car's engine was in a similar location, but now of German origin. It was an Alpina tweaked BMW powerplant, which was mated to a six speed automated gear box. It was estimated to be capable of a 360 km/h top speed and sub four seconds 0-60 times.
