Forgotten Australian Supercar: The 1988 Giocattolo Group B

This is an original Giocattolo Group B, it’s an Australian supercar from the late-1980s with a mid-mounted Holden V8 and it was faster from 0-62 mph than both the Porsche 930 and the Ferrari Testarossa.

The Core Event

Just 15 examples of the Group B would be built, around 12-13 are believed to have survived, and they’re among the most collectible Australian-built cars ever made – the problem for most enthusiasts is finding one for sale.
