European Sports Car Collection Discovered in Japanese Store

When it comes to car culture, Japanese and Italian enthusiasts have distinct differences. The Japanese prioritize engineering detail, quality, and precision, while the Italians focus on aesthetics and sound, often disregarding other traits. In Japan, car collectors typically gravitate towards Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) cars, making it unlikely to find a collection of European sports cars and exotica. However, YouTuber Dino DC stumbled upon such a collection at Collezione on Kanpachi Dori road in Tokyo.

Collezione is known for its impressive stock of Italian cars, and it even includes some French cars. The showroom consists of two sections - 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 make a comeback as part of the Lancia revival. However, Collezione offers more than just classic Italian cars.
