European Sports Car Collection Discovered in Japanese Store

When it comes to car culture, the Japanese and the 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 tend to collect JDM cars, making it unexpected to find a collection of European sports cars and exotica. However, YouTuber Dino DC discovered just that when he visited Collezione on Kanpachi Dori road in Tokyo, known for its car culture.

Collezione boasts an impressive stock of Italian cars, with some French cars also in the mix. The showroom consists of two parts - an indoor showroom and an outdoor one. 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 1990s and is set to be revived as part of the Lancia revival. However, Collezione doesn't limit itself to old Italian cars.
