European Sports Car Collection Discovered in Japanese Store

When it comes to car culture, the Japanese and Italians have distinct differences. The Japanese prioritize engineering detail, quality, and precision, while the Italians are more focused on aesthetics and sound. In Japan, car enthusiasts usually collect JDM cars, so it's rare to find a collection of European sports cars and exotica. However, YouTuber Dino DC discovered just that at Collezione on Kanpachi Dori road in Tokyo.

Collezione is known for its impressive collection of Italian cars, with a few French cars also making an appearance. The showroom consists of two parts - an indoor and an outdoor area. Dino DC first explored the outdoor showroom, where he was greeted by 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. But Collezione doesn't only house old Italian vehicles.
