That thing is awesome, around the Muira's time and has 400HP. Not to shabby for a 60's car, the Cobra has about 450 does it not? If it handles as good as it looks an goes then Sub Zero it is!

 

[SomePlayaDude]

It's one of those things you hope someone has a YouTube video of it having a cold start, and then accelerating away.

 

[GTP_Ingram]

Would have plumped for a regular cool, until I watched clips of these slithering and smoking about at the Goodwood Revival. Has to be Sub Zero.

 

[SVT Cobra GT]

I'll take that green piece of coolness with wire wheels please!

 

[Roger the Horse]

Easily one of the coolest things ever made.

 

[Adamgp]

If I saw one driving down the street I might find it cool. But because they are rare they are mostly rare concourse show cars now.

327 Chevy saves it from uncool. Meh it is.

 

[Cano]

I read "Bizarrini" on the thread title and immediately hit sub zero.

 

[C-ZETA]

Damn, this thing looks flat. I guess you could even say it looks...Bizzarre.
Certainly not a bad thing though. Cool.

 

[Dagger311]

Sub Zero. Beautiful car, and the 327 brings it up further.

 

[Dennisch]

"Look at it."

This.

Cool.

 

[Epic B]

Sub-Zero. Just look at it. And the lowish weight and powerful engine sound like a good combination.

 

[Stotty]

Wibble!

SZ

 

[GTRacer22]

SZ. No explanation even needed.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Rare? Yes. Expensive? Yes. Gob-smackingly beautiful?

Well, did you look at it, like Roger said? Look. See the lines? Good. Let's face it, this is Italian art, and the American V8 makes it even better. No need to worry about the engine being rare and brutally expensive to repair, it's a freakin' Chevy V8, you can get the parts for that.

Italian design beauty + American muscle prowless = Fridge. It's a well-known mathematical expression, don't you know...

And that Pebble Beach picture... The one with the Iso Grifo? Now I wouldn't mind having those two as a part of my garage.

 

[Wiegert]

A Bizzarrini design resembling a more pornographic take on the 250 GTO. I've always thought it looked too low-slung myself, which kind of gives it a sexy-yet-somewhat awkward stance depending on which angle you look at it from.

There is absolutely no way this car can be anything lower than Cool, though.

 

[mustafur]

Looks very elegant with 60s rawness.

Ill go with sub zero.

 

[Epic B]

This car is at the low end of the Ice Box already. At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if this car joined the Miura in Steve McQueen's Garage. At the least, it'll likely get very high on the Ice Box.

 

[V0RT3X]

gotta admit, not a fan. It just doesn't look quite right.

 

[niky]

Incredibly voluptuous for something that's actually so dainty.

Like a slimmer Marilyn Monroe. It's got lovely lady lumps.

Easy Zee.

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

It looks like Miura got rearended by corvette. Seriously Uncool.

 

[Cano]

a more pornographic take on the 250 GTO.

Dude, phrase of the year right here.

 

[Slash]

Chevy 327. Cool

 

[Tornado]

Honestly not too much of a fan of the looks. The shoulder lines cut down too much, the rear and (especially) the front sit too high relative to the doors and the body is too long, making it resemble a truck with frame damage more than a super voluptuous yet surprisingly generic late 60s car.

 

[Skygrasper550]

Wow. That is one seriously beautiful car.

I have never heard of or seen this Bizzarrini, but the INSTANT I saw the silhouette, I completely fell for it. Fridge, please.
