Bizzarrini Utes. p. A. was an Italian automotive manufacturer from the 1960s founded by past Alfa Romeo, Ferrari and ISO engineer, Giotto Bizzarrini. The company built a small number of highly developed and superior sport and racing cars before failing in 1969. Notable models include the actual 5300 GT Strada as well as the P538S.Originally Prototipi Bizzarrini ohydrates. r. l., the name was improved to Bizzarrini S. p. A. in 1966. The Bizzarrini marque has become revived with quite a few concept cars in this 2000s.Giotto Bizzarrini was delivered in Livorno, Italy in 1926. His father was any rich landowner who got their start in a family with robust roots in Tuscany and the city of Livorno. His grandfather, also named Giotto Bizzarrini, was a biologist who had worked with Guglielmo Marconi on the inventions, especially the radio, following which one of the Livorno Library sections had been named The Bizzarrini Library.Bizzarrini graduated as an engineer inside the University of Pisa inside 1953. He taught briefly ahead of joining Alfa Romeo within 1954. He worked for Alfa Romeo via 1954 to 1957. He began working with regard to Ferrari in 1957, eventually becoming controller of experimental, Sports and GT car development. He worked at Ferrari like a developer, designer, test driver, and chief engineer with regard to five years.

Bizzarrini has been fired by Ferrari through the "palace revolt" of 1961. He became part involving Automobili Turismo e Game (ATS)), a company started with the ex-Ferrari engineers to create a Formula 1 single seater along with a GT sport car, the A. T. S. Serenissima.One of ATS's economic backers, Count Giovanni Volpi, owner of Scuderia Serenissima, hired Bizzarrini to upgrade a Ferrari 250 GT SWB, with chassis number #2819GT to help GTO specifications. This resulted in the actual Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo also called the "Breadvan".Bizzarrini's engineering company, Societa Autostar, was commissioned to style a V-12 engine for the GT car to possibly be built by another discontented Ferrari customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini. Lamborghini considered the resulting engine to be too highly strung, and ordered that that be detuned.

Bizzarrini worked since 1964 for Iso Rivolta and formulated three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L and A3C versions. His work was to formulate a pressed steel figure chassis for Iso cars. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant towards the Iso Gordon GT challenge which became the Iso Rivolta GT. The Iso Gordon GT prototype was made from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT seemed to be designed in 1960 by Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the vehicle and was impressed because of the powerful V8 Corvette engine and the rear De Dion tube employed for the GT:'Rivolta experienced me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion tube and especially the Corvette engine. It was the very first time that I had driven just one. It was superior for you to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but with a more immediate throttle answer. 'The Iso Rivolta GT seemed to be a Giugiaro designed a number of seater with beautiful human body, speed, comfort and handling, and was a prosperous car for ISO along with 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine with a classic De Dion rear suspension design with constrained steel monocoque bodywork around pressed steel frame chassis. Unveiled to the push in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L ended up being a monstrous idea to get a super coupé, the L coming via Lusso. The result of the particular brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini working together, it was based over a shortened Iso Rivolta GT chassis and was debuted with the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised this 1960s Italian style using its handsome low and vast handmade bodywork. It was the best production car tested by means of Autocar Magazine in 1966 with a top speed of 160 mph (260 km/h). Later versions of the particular Grifo were powered by the big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) serp. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable through the raised "pagoda style" scoop bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri items were rebuilt later with even bigger engines.

The thinking behind Bizzarrini was to operate the 3AL cars for competition. The competition versions from the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or even Corsa. A new lightweight riveted alloy body was designed as well as built by Piero Drogo. It was an aggressively designed machine, oriented to endurance events. It uses normal ISO underpinnings even so the engine was moved further last the chassis frame as opposed to Grifo A3L, protruding well into the particular driver's cabin, fitted with hot cameras and fed by some big Weber carburettors, giving more than 500 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).

All around 29 A3C sport cars were built underneath the ISO name. Five of these up to 29 cars were bodied in plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo at Carrozzeria Sports Cars in Modena. A3Cs were widely ran. Some cars entered this 1964 and 1965 Le Mans 24 hour, 1965 Nürburgring 1000 and also 1965 Sebring. It achieved a The Mans class win in both years and a 9th overall in 1965 without having factory support. A3Cs were one on the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Straight in both years.
