Coupe Chassis Num: 002   This Bizzarrini P-538 is part of the Van Horneff Collection and is a one-off creation built for competition such as CanAm and LeMans. Production began in 1966 with hopes of contesting LeMans in 1967. Production was later set aside and was not completed until 1967 due to FIA homologation rules for 1967 and 1968. It is powered by a Lamborghini V12 with six dual Weber carburetors producing 420 horsepower. It has a five-speed manual gearbox and a body constructed from fiberglass. Top speed is achieved at 250 mph, which was accomplished by the legendary Mark Donohue at Bridgehampton. This car is one of six, and carries chassis number 002. This car was the work of mechanical engineer Giotto Bizzarrini whose automotive pedigree includes developing the legendary 250 GTO Berlinetta for Ferrari. he engineered and created the V12 for Ferruccio Lamborghini, the radical A3C for Iso-Grifo, and finally, his own marque, which includes the Bizzarrini 5300 Strada and the P-538.
