Bizzarrini tested the auto and was impressed with the powerful V8 Corvette engine along with the rear De Dion tube employed 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 in order to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but having a more immediate throttle reaction. 'The Iso Rivolta GT has been a Giugiaro designed four seater with beautiful human body, speed, comfort and handling, and was a effective car for ISO along with 799 units sold.

The idea of Bizzarrini was to utilize 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 aluminum body was designed and built by Piero Drogo. It was an aggressively designed machine, oriented to endurance backgrounds. It uses normal ISO underpinnings however the engine was moved further in the chassis frame as opposed to Grifo A3L, protruding well into the actual driver's cabin, fitted with hot cams and fed by 4 big Weber carburettors, giving more than 600 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).

All-around 29 A3C sport cars were built under the ISO name. Five of these 28 cars were bodied throughout plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo at 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. It achieved a The Mans class win in both years plus a 9th overall in 1965 without any factory support. A3Cs were one in the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Immediately in both years.
