European Sports Car Collection Discovered in Japanese Store

When it comes to car culture, the differences between Japan and Italy are quite apparent. The Japanese are known for their meticulous attention to engineering detail and precision, while the Italians prioritize style and sound above all else. In Japan, car enthusiasts typically focus on collecting JDM cars, making it unlikely to find a collection of European sports cars and exotica. However, YouTuber Dino DC recently stumbled upon just that at Collezione on Kanpachi Dori road in Tokyo.

Collezione is a car haven in Tokyo, known for its impressive collection of Italian cars. Surprisingly, the showroom also features some French cars. The presenter first explored the outdoor showroom, where he was greeted by a Lancia Delta Integrale. This small hatchback gained fame in the '90s for its rally performances and is now set to be revived as part of the Lancia brand's comeback. But Collezione doesn't just house old Italian vehicles.
