Bizzarrini P538 Competition “Millechiodi” Alloy

Conceived as a pure racing machine, the P538 stands as one of the most radical and uncompromising prototypes of the 1960s.

Reborn today as part of the Millechiodi continuation project, it remains faithful to its original purpose: absolute performance, without compromise.

TECHNICAL OVERVIEW

Power: Approx. 355 hp
Chassis: Lightweight tubular steel
Body: Handcrafted alloy
Transmission: 5-speed ZF manual
Drivetrain: Rear-wheel drive

Born for Competition

The P538 was engineered with a single objective: to compete at the highest level of endurance racing.

Its mid-engine layout, lightweight construction and aerodynamic profile reflect a design philosophy entirely focused on speed, balance and efficiency.

Every element serves performance.

This is not a reinterpretation.

The P538 Millechiodi is built following the original engineering principles, materials and construction techniques, preserving the authenticity of the original concept.

It stands as a direct continuation of one of Giotto Bizzarrini’s most daring creations

The Bizzarrini P538 Millechiodi Continuation in Detail

The Bizzarrini P538 Millechiodi continuation begins where Giotto Bizzarrini left off. The original P538 was conceived in the mid-1960s as a pure endurance racing machine, designed to compete at the highest level against the most advanced prototypes of its era. Its mid-engine layout, handcrafted alloy body and obsessive attention to weight distribution reflected a design philosophy that prioritised performance above all else.

What distinguished Bizzarrini’s approach was not just engineering clarity, but independence of thought. Working outside the established structures of the major manufacturers, he produced machines of extraordinary capability with minimal resources, relying on craftsmanship, ingenuity and an uncompromising vision of what a racing car should be.

THE MILLECHIODI PHILOSOPHY

“Millechiodi” — a thousand rivets — defines an approach rooted in precision, craftsmanship and structural integrity.
Each car is assembled with obsessive attention to detail, reflecting the same artisanal methods that characterised the original era.

A Car for the Most Refined Collections

Produced in strictly limited numbers, the P538 Millechiodi occupies a unique position within the world of collectible automobiles.
Defined by rarity, historical relevance and uncompromising engineering, it is conceived to belong within the most significant collections.
The continuation preserves this spirit entirely. Each example is assembled following the original construction methods, with a riveted alloy body built over a lightweight tubular steel chassis. Nothing is reinterpreted. Nothing is modernised for its own sake. The result is a car that carries the DNA of the original without compromise.

Two Expressions of the Same Vision

Alongside the P538, the 5300 GT Competizione Millechiodi represents the grand touring counterpart — where elegance meets performance.
Together, they form a complete vision of Bizzarrini’s philosophy.
