Bizzarrini Ohydrates. p. A. was an Italian automotive manufacturer in the 1960s founded by former Alfa Romeo, Ferrari and ISO manufacture, Giotto Bizzarrini. The company built few highly developed and sophisticated sport and racing autos before failing in 1969. Notable models include this 5300 GT Strada plus the P538S.Originally Prototipi Bizzarrini utes. r. l., the name was transformed to Bizzarrini S. p. A. in 1966. The Bizzarrini marque continues to be revived with many concept cars in your 2000s.Giotto Bizzarrini was delivered in Livorno, Italy in 1926. His father was some sort of rich landowner who came from a family with solid roots in Tuscany along with the city of Livorno. His grandfather, also named Giotto Bizzarrini, was a biologist who had worked with Guglielmo Marconi on his inventions, especially the radio, following which one from the Livorno Library sections has been named The Bizzarrini Selection.Bizzarrini graduated as an engineer inside the University of Pisa within 1953.

Bizzarrini seemed to be fired by Ferrari during the "palace revolt" of 1961. He became part of Automobili Turismo e Hobby (ATS)), a company started through the ex-Ferrari engineers to build a Formula 1 single seater and also a GT sport car, the A. T. S. Serenissima.One of ATS's monetary backers, Count Giovanni Volpi, owner of Scuderia Serenissima, hired Bizzarrini to enhance a Ferrari 250 GT SWB, with chassis number #2819GT to help GTO specifications. This resulted in the particular Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo also called the "Breadvan".Bizzarrini's engineering company, Societa Autostar, was commissioned to pattern a V-12 engine for just a GT car to be built by another disappointed Ferrari customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini. Lamborghini considered the resulting engine for being too highly strung, and ordered that the idea be detuned.

Bizzarrini worked since 1964 for Iso Rivolta and produced three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L as well as 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 venture which became the Iso Rivolta GT. The Iso Gordon GT prototype got its start from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT ended up being designed in 1960 by simply Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the automobile and was impressed because of the powerful V8 Corvette engine and the rear De Dion tube for the GT:'Rivolta got me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion tube and especially the Corvette serp. It was the first-time I had driven one particular. It was superior to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but having a more immediate throttle response. 'The Iso Rivolta GT was a Giugiaro designed some seater with beautiful human body, speed, comfort and handling, and was a profitable car for ISO together with 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine which has a classic De Dion raise suspension design with hard pressed steel monocoque bodywork above pressed steel frame framework. Unveiled to the press in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L has been a monstrous idea for the super coupé, the L coming coming from Lusso. The result of the actual brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini functioning together, it was based on a shortened Iso Rivolta GT chassis and was debuted on the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised your 1960s Italian style having its handsome low and vast handmade bodywork. It was the fastest production car tested through Autocar Magazine in 1966 having a top speed of one hundred sixty mph (260 km/h). Later versions of the Grifo were powered with a big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) serp. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable by the raised "pagoda style" deal bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri units were rebuilt later with a whole lot larger engines.

Thinking about Bizzarrini was to utilize 3AL cars for rivalry. The competition versions on the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or perhaps Corsa. A new lightweight riveted alloy body was designed in addition to built by Piero Drogo. It was an strongly designed machine, oriented to endurance races. It uses normal ISO underpinnings though the engine was moved further last the chassis frame compared to Grifo A3L, protruding well into your driver's cabin, fitted with hot cameras and fed by several 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 twenty nine cars were bodied with plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo with Carrozzeria Sports Cars within Modena. A3Cs were widely raced. Some cars entered the actual 1964 and 1965 Le Mans 24 hour, 1965 Nürburgring 1000 in addition to 1965 Sebring. It achieved a Le Mans class win in both years along with a 9th overall in 1965 without the need of factory support. A3Cs were one on the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Straight in both years.
