There’s plenty of interesting, high-value sports and race cars heading to Monterey Car Week this year, some of which will make it up on the auction block and exchange hands at one of the many top-dollar car auctions taking place at the annual event. One such vehicle is this svelte, sexy-looking red Italian speed machine: a Bizzarrini P538. This ultra-rare, ultra-curvy dream-on-wheels will go under the hammer at the Mecum car auction between August 18th and 20th as Lot S111, and it’s expected to fetch close to a million dollars. It’s got Corvette power and super exclusivity, plus the performance potential you’d expect just from its appearance.
Stateside enthusiasts might not be up on the specifics of European race builders like Giotto Bizzarrini, but in Europe, the name carries serious weight. Bizzarrini is the builder behind such classics as the Iso Rivolta, Iso Grifo, Ferrari 250 GTO, and Lamborghini 3500 GT V-12. And of course, you gotta add the P538 to that list, as this thing is a true connoisseur’s delight.
