Bizzarrini seemed to be fired by Ferrari during the "palace revolt" of 1961. He became part connected with Automobili Turismo e Sport (ATS)), a company started through the ex-Ferrari engineers to build a Formula 1 single seater along with a GT sport car, the A. T. S. Serenissima.One of ATS's fiscal backers, Count Giovanni Volpi, owner of Scuderia Serenissima, hired Bizzarrini to improve a Ferrari 250 GT SWB, with chassis number #2819GT for you to GTO specifications. This resulted in your Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo also referred to as the "Breadvan".Bizzarrini's engineering company, Societa Autostar, was commissioned to design and style a V-12 engine for just a GT car to become built by another unhappy Ferrari customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini.

Bizzarrini worked since 1964 pertaining to Iso Rivolta and developed three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L as well as A3C versions. His work was to formulate a pressed steel frame chassis for Iso vehicles. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant for 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 had been designed in 1960 by means of Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the car and was impressed by the powerful V8 Corvette engine and also the rear De Dion tube used by the GT:'Rivolta acquired me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion tv and especially the Corvette serps. It was the new I had driven one particular. It was superior to be able to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but that has a more immediate throttle result. 'The Iso Rivolta GT had been a Giugiaro designed four seater with beautiful physique, speed, comfort and handling, and was a successful car for ISO with 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine with a classic De Dion back suspension design with pushed steel monocoque bodywork more than pressed steel frame chassis. Unveiled to the push in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L has been a monstrous idea for the super coupé, the L coming from Lusso.

The Grifo epitomised the 1960s Italian style featuring a handsome low and vast handmade bodywork. It was the best production car tested by Autocar Magazine in 1966 which has a top speed of 160 mph (260 km/h). Later versions of this Grifo were powered with a big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) motor. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable because of the raised "pagoda style" scoop bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri units were rebuilt later with a whole lot larger engines.

Thinking about Bizzarrini was to operate the 3AL cars for rivalry. The competition versions with the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or even Corsa. A new lightweight riveted aluminium body was designed as well as built by Piero Drogo. It was an strongly designed machine, oriented to endurance backrounds. It uses normal ISO underpinnings nevertheless the engine was moved further back in the chassis frame compared to Grifo A3L, protruding well into the driver's cabin, fitted with hot cams and fed by 4 big Weber carburettors, giving more than 300 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).

All around 29 A3C sport cars were built beneath the ISO name. Five of these 28 cars were bodied throughout plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo in Carrozzeria Sports Cars within Modena. A3Cs were widely competed. Some cars entered the 1964 and 1965 Le Mans 24 hour, 1965 Nürburgring 1000 along with 1965 Sebring.
