No one does car design like Italian manufacturers, and this bizarre Chevy V8-powered ‘shooting brake-esque’ supercar confirms it.
It has a very complicated name, but that really doesn’t matter.
What matters is that this unconventional beauty is powered by a Chevy V8.
There’s only one question left, especially after you learn where the inspiration for this unusual thing came from.

This body style actually has a name
We called it a shooting brake because it’s probably the closest thing, but this body style actually has a name.
They call it the ‘breadvan’, or ‘camionnette’ in French.
The term apparently originated at Le Mans (hence why there’s a French version of the name), and legend has it that somebody came up with the word ‘breadvan’ because the truncated rear section makes it look like a baker’s runaround.
The inspiration for this vehicle, believe it or not, is a unique but probably forgotten iteration of the most valuable Ferrari ever: the 250.
In 1962, Italian engineer Giotto Bizzarrini designed the Ferrari 250 GT SWB Breadvan (pictured below) for Le Mans.
It still exists, Ferrari occasionally showcases it at various events, but it’s a one-off, unfortunately.
About 60 years later, an Italian automaker and coachbuilder called ErreErre Fuoriserie decided to honor that one-off Ferrari with the vehicle you see here.
They call it the ForGiotto, as in for Giotto Bizzarrini.
This Italian supercar was designed in Turin, but it’s powered by Detroit
Interestingly, ErreErre decided to use an all-American Chevy V8 to power this lightweight (1,200kg) supercar.
And this isn’t a random decision because the engine they picked is the 327 Small Block V8.
This is the same engine you’d find in a very long list of GM vehicles from the 1960s.
ErreErre says this supercar can generate up to 400 horsepower, depending on how you spec it, which actually leads to a question: how many are they going to make?
We only know this is a production car, not a one-off or a concept car, but we don’t know how many they’re going to make.
But something else we know is how much it costs.
Pricing starts at €690,000 before taxes – equivalent to $804,000.
The first customer delivery is expected after August 2026.
