1960s automaker Bizzarrini has released the preliminary announcement on its Scuderia Bizzarrini P538. This re-bodied roadster is the modern-day tribute to the 1966 P538S, originally designed to run at the 24-hour Le Mans races.

The design is the product of collaboration between the Thai team behind the Cobra Limited Edition Galmer Arbitrage GT supercar and Giotto Bizzarrini himself. The Italian sportscar guru has worked for the likes of Ferrari, Lamborghini, Alfa Romeo and Iso before making cars under his own name.

The open top concept is closely modeled after the original 1966 design, with more than 500 hp from a mid-mounted Chevrolet LS7 V8, and a full carbon body and monocoque. 

The car is expected to be unveiled at the Nardo test circuit in November this year, and will have a limited production run of just 100 vehicles.
