be very close to their ultimate horsepower goal of 450 horsepower from their new 5-liter V12 engine. While the team works on the BZ-2001, they are at the same time, designing their own production chassis using Bizzarrini's own chassis development software package. They had also used William Mitchell's "Racing by the Numbers" software package which allows experimenting with an infinite number of suspension parameters, gear ratio changes and setting up an entire car on the computer to yield an incredibly close idea as to what the finished product will perform like. Berrys background in racing has given him the experience to know the small, but very important details in sports cars. One such a detail has been to use a set of racing car scales to weigh all four corners of the car and balance the cross corner weights so that the car is as reasonably balanced as possible. Designing a sports car for the next century takes a tremendous amount of resources, research, creativity and ingenuity along with problem solving ability. And it takes a tremendous amount of outside help to be able to create such an accomplishment. This prototype is the first step in a project that will be completed over time.In April of 1993, Giotto Bizzarrini flew to the United States to see the completed BZ-2001 and introduce it to the world. The Long Beach Grand Prix was the site chosen for the occasion. Giotto Bizzarrini was amazed how positively the public reacted to the BZ-2001. Time after time he was told by hundreds of people who saw the car that it was one of the most beautiful cars in the world. Ing. Giotto Bizzarrini has been extremely pleased with the project, so much so that he suggested that the team that designed the BZ-2001 should form a company to design projects and to build models and prototypes for other companies. That being done, the company that had been formed is called Disegno di Bizzarrini Co. This will give the small but creative team the ability ...
