European Sports Car Collection Discovered in Japanese Store

Japanese and Italian car culture have distinct differences. The Japanese prioritize engineering detail, quality, and precision, while the Italians focus more on aesthetics and sound. In Japan, car culture leans towards collecting JDM cars, so it's unexpected 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 selection of Italian cars, with a few French cars thrown into the mix. 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 make a comeback as part of the Lancia revival. But Collezione doesn't only house old Italian vehicles.
