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 focus more on aesthetics and sound. It's rare to find a collection of European sports cars and exotica in Japan, where the car culture leans towards JDM cars. However, YouTuber Dino DC stumbled upon just that when he visited Collezione on Kanpachi Dori road in Tokyo, a place renowned for its car culture.

Collezione is home to an impressive stock of Italian cars, with a few French cars thrown into the mix. The showroom consists of two parts - an indoor and an outdoor section. Dino DC first explored the outdoor showroom, where he was immediately captivated by a Lancia Delta Integrale. This small hatchback gained fame in the '90s for its rally performances and is now set to make a comeback as part of the Lancia revival. However, the shop offers more than just vintage Italian cars.
