Bizzarrini Ohydrates. p. A. was an Italian automotive manufacturer inside the 1960s founded by past Alfa Romeo, Ferrari and ISO industrial engineer, Giotto Bizzarrini. The company built few highly developed and state-of-the-art sport and racing vehicles before failing in 1969. Notable models include the 5300 GT Strada plus the P538S.Originally Prototipi Bizzarrini ersus. 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 your 2000s.Giotto Bizzarrini was born in Livorno, Italy in 1926. His father was a new rich landowner who originated from a family with strong roots in Tuscany as well as the city of Livorno. His grandfather, also named Giotto Bizzarrini, was a biologist who had caused Guglielmo Marconi on the inventions, especially the radio, following which one from the Livorno Library sections was named The Bizzarrini Stockpile.Bizzarrini graduated as an engineer inside University of Pisa with 1953. He taught briefly before joining Alfa Romeo inside 1954. He worked for Alfa Romeo coming from 1954 to 1957. He began working regarding Ferrari in 1957, eventually becoming controller of experimental, Sports and GT auto development. He worked at Ferrari as being a developer, designer, test driver, and chief engineer regarding five years. His developments there bundled the Ferrari 250 TR, the Ferrari 250 GT SWB (Brief Wheelbase Berlinetta or Berlinetta Passo Corto), and the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO.
Bizzarrini seemed to be fired by Ferrari in the "palace revolt" of 1961. He became part regarding Automobili Turismo e Hobby (ATS)), a company started because of the ex-Ferrari engineers to develop a Formula 1 single seater and also 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 update a Ferrari 250 GT SWB, with chassis number #2819GT to GTO specifications. This resulted in this Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo often known as the "Breadvan".Bizzarrini's engineering company, Societa Autostar, was commissioned to design a V-12 engine to get a GT car to always be built by another disappointed Ferrari customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini. Lamborghini considered the resulting engine for being too highly strung, and ordered that this be detuned.

Bizzarrini worked since 1964 with regard to Iso Rivolta and produced three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L along with A3C versions. His work was to produce a pressed steel framework 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 got its start from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT was designed in 1960 by means of Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the car or truck and was impressed through the powerful V8 Corvette engine plus the rear De Dion tube for the GT:'Rivolta acquired me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion tubing and especially the Corvette motor. It was the first time I had driven one particular. It was superior to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but which has a more immediate throttle answer. 'The Iso Rivolta GT has been a Giugiaro designed some seater with beautiful body, speed, comfort and handling, and was a effective car for ISO together with 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine using a classic De Dion backed suspension design with pushed steel monocoque bodywork around pressed steel frame chassis. Unveiled to the media in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L has been a monstrous idea to get a super coupé, the L coming via Lusso. The result of this brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini operating together, it was based with a shortened Iso Rivolta GT framework and was debuted for the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised the actual 1960s Italian style featuring a handsome low and vast handmade bodywork. It was the quickest production car tested by means of Autocar Magazine in 1966 with a top speed of one hundred sixty mph (260 km/h). Later versions of the particular Grifo were powered by way of big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) engine. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable from the raised "pagoda style" details bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri units were rebuilt later with a great deal larger engines.

The concept of Bizzarrini was to operate the 3AL cars for levels of competition. The competition versions on the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or maybe Corsa. A new lightweight riveted aluminium lightweight body was designed and also built by Piero Drogo. It was an in a hostile manner designed machine, oriented to endurance contests. It uses normal ISO underpinnings though the engine was moved further back in the chassis frame compared to the Grifo A3L, protruding well into this driver's cabin, fitted with hot cams and fed by 4 big Weber carburettors, giving more than 400 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).

Close to 29 A3C sport cars were built under the ISO name. Five of these twenty nine cars were bodied in plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo on Carrozzeria Sports Cars in Modena. A3Cs were widely competed. Some cars entered the particular 1964 and 1965 Le Mans 24 hour, 1965 Nürburgring 1000 along with 1965 Sebring. It achieved a Le Mans class win in both years and a 9th overall in 1965 without any factory support. A3Cs were one with the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Directly in both years.
