European Sports Car Collection Discovered in Japanese Store

When it comes to car culture, the differences between Japan and Italy are quite distinct. The Japanese emphasize engineering detail, quality, and precision, while the Italians prioritize aesthetics and sound. However, amidst the Japanese car enthusiasts, there exists a surprising collection of European sports cars and exotica. This unexpected discovery was made by YouTuber Dino DC during his visit to Collezione, located on Tokyo's renowned Kanpachi Dori road, known for its vibrant car culture.

Collezione boasts an impressive stock of Italian cars, with a few French cars also making an appearance. The showroom is divided into two sections: an indoor space and an outdoor area. Dino DC first explored the outdoor showroom, where he was greeted by the sight of a Lancia Delta Integrale. This small hatchback gained fame for its rally performances in the '90s and is set to be revived as part of the Lancia revival. However, the shop offers more than just classic Italian vehicles.
