Ex-Aston Martin Execs Revive Obscure Italian Legend

168

This isn’t the first-ever attempt at bringing Bizzarrini back from the dead; earlier in the 2000s, the marque returned for a series of one-off and concept cars. But this time, Bizzarrini has the backing of luxury car dealer group Pegasus Brands, Autocar reports, and it will hit the ground running with a considerable footprint, comprising bases in London, Geneva, Kuwait, Abu Dhabi, and Dubai.

Arguably the most notable former Aston Martin exec to sign on with Bizzarrini is Dr. Ulrich Bez, who served as Aston’s CEO from 2000-2013. Apart from being at the helm while the lauded Aston Martin DB9 was introduced, Dr. Bez also worked with Porsche in the years prior, his greatest hits list also including directing the design and development of the Porsche 968, the 911 Carrera RS 2.7, and the Type-993 Porsche 911 model family.
