Bizzarrini Ohydrates. p. A. was an Italian automotive manufacturer in the 1960s founded by ex- Alfa Romeo, Ferrari and ISO electrical engineer, Giotto Bizzarrini. The company built few highly developed and superior sport and racing vehicles before failing in 1969. Notable models include the 5300 GT Strada plus the P538S.Originally Prototipi Bizzarrini s. r. l., the name was altered to Bizzarrini S. p. A. in 1966. The Bizzarrini marque may be revived with a number of concept cars in the 2000s.Giotto Bizzarrini was blessed in Livorno, Italy in 1926. His father was some sort of rich landowner who came from a family with strong roots in Tuscany and also 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 in the Livorno Library sections ended up being named The Bizzarrini Catalogue.Bizzarrini graduated as an engineer inside the University of Pisa with 1953. He taught briefly before joining Alfa Romeo within 1954. He worked for Alfa Romeo through 1954 to 1957. He began working regarding Ferrari in 1957, eventually becoming controller of experimental, Sports and GT car development.

He became part of Automobili Turismo e Game (ATS)), a company started from the ex-Ferrari engineers to create a Formula 1 single seater and also a GT sport car, the A. T. S. Serenissima.One of ATS's personal backers, Count Giovanni Volpi, owner of Scuderia Serenissima, hired Bizzarrini to enhance a Ferrari 250 GT SWB, with chassis number #2819GT for you to GTO specifications. This resulted in the particular Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo often known as the "Breadvan".Bizzarrini's engineering company, Societa Autostar, was commissioned to style a V-12 engine for any GT car to possibly be built by another dissatisfied Ferrari customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini. Lamborghini considered the resulting engine for being too highly strung, and ordered that it be detuned.
1964 Bizzarrini Iso Grifo A3/C A3C Conceptcarz
Bizzarrini worked since 1964 regarding Iso Rivolta and formulated three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L along with A3C versions. His work was to formulate a pressed steel body chassis for Iso autos. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant for the Iso Gordon GT challenge which became the Iso Rivolta GT. The Iso Gordon GT prototype originated from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT was designed in 1960 by Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the automobile and was impressed from the powerful V8 Corvette engine and the rear De Dion tube useful for the GT:'Rivolta experienced me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion conduit and especially the Corvette engine. It was the first time I had driven one particular. It was superior for you to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but that has a more immediate throttle answer. 'The Iso Rivolta GT was a Giugiaro designed 4 seater with beautiful entire body, speed, comfort and handling, and was a productive car for ISO with 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine with a classic De Dion raise suspension design with constrained steel monocoque bodywork more than pressed steel frame chassis. Unveiled to the click in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L seemed to be a monstrous idea for the super coupé, the L coming coming from Lusso. The result of the particular brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini operating together, it was based over a shortened Iso Rivolta GT framework and was debuted in the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised the actual 1960s Italian style which consists of handsome low and broad handmade bodywork. It was the speediest production car tested by means of Autocar Magazine in 1966 using a top speed of 160 mph (260 km/h). Later versions of the actual Grifo were powered by the big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) motor. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable from the raised "pagoda style" deal bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri products were rebuilt later with a whole lot larger engines.

The concept of Bizzarrini was to operate the 3AL cars for rivalry. The competition versions in the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or Corsa. A new lightweight riveted aluminum body was designed along with built by Piero Drogo. It was an in a hostile manner designed machine, oriented to endurance backgrounds. It uses normal ISO underpinnings even so the engine was moved further last the chassis frame versus Grifo A3L, protruding well into the particular driver's cabin, fitted with hot cams and fed by four big Weber carburettors, giving more than 400 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).
1965 ISO Grifo Conceptcarz
All-around 29 A3C sport cars were built under the ISO name. Five of these up to 29 cars were bodied within plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo at Carrozzeria Sports Cars in Modena. A3Cs were widely ran. Some cars entered the actual 1964 and 1965 Le Mans 24 hour, 1965 Nürburgring 1000 in addition to 1965 Sebring. It achieved a The Mans class win in both years and a 9th overall in 1965 without factory support. A3Cs were one in the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Direct in both years.
