Bizzarrini Invests Concentrating on Giotto Hyper GT Programme
Centro Tecnologico di Bizzarrini (CTB) at Silverstone is one of Bizzarrini's new enterprises in Italy and the UK.
Bizzarrini appoints Isobel Dando as CEO, effective July 2024, taking significant measures towards fortifying its already exceptional workforce and developing its corporate structure. Isobel has worked in the automobile industry for a long time, and throughout that time she has successfully reinvented and relaunched some of the most recognisable car brands.
Isobel has worked for companies like Rolls-Royce, Jaguar Land Rover, and most recently, MOKE, in high roles.
Strengthening the Executive Team
Rezam Al Roumi, Executive Chairman and owner of Bizzarrini: “We are delighted to welcome Isobel Dando as our CEO at Bizzarrini. The experience she brings with her is unmatched and we are excited to see how her visionary leadership helps guide the brand in this next phase of development as The Giotto programme continues to gain momentum.”
The addition of this individual to the already strong and accomplished executive team includes Dr. Ulrich Bez, a board advisor; Chris Porritt, chief technical officer; Fraser Dunn, chief engineer; Simon Busby, chief marketing and communications officer; Dr. Matthew Bennett, sales director; and Lewis Trickett, head of commercial and programme. Ian Fenton will take on a new role as board advisor upon Isobel's arrival.
The successful 5300 GT Corsa Revival programme, which commenced 24 months ago and recently saw the delivery of the final edition to new owners, is coming to an end with this additional senior appointment.
Expansion and Operational Milestones
Simultaneously, Bizzarrini is expanding its operational footprint with new facilities in Italy and the UK. The launch of Centro Tecnologico di Bizzarrini (CTB) at Silverstone underscores its commitment to future growth and innovation.
Isobel Dando, Chief Executive of Bizzarrini: “I am thrilled to join Bizzarrini. Following the success of the 5300 GT Corsa Revival, The Giotto is the first project in the new era that honours our founder’s vision, to combine cutting-edge technology with breathtaking design. With The Giotto and additional projects in the pipeline, the team and I are passionate about delivering an enduring legacy that Giotto Bizzarrini would be proud of.”
Unveiling The Giotto Hyper GT
With a renewed focus on innovation, Bizzarrini prepares to unveil The Giotto Hyper GT, marking a new chapter in its storied history. This model, designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro and Fabrizio Giugiaro at GFG Style, promises to blend engineering excellence with Italian elegance.
Engineering Marvel and Design Excellence
The Giotto features a bespoke carbon fibre body reminiscent of the iconic Bizzarrini 5300 GT, housing an exclusive Bizzarrini V12 engine developed in collaboration with Cosworth. This masterpiece pays homage to Giotto Bizzarrini's legacy while pushing the boundaries of automotive luxury and performance.
