Bizzarrini tested the vehicle and was impressed by the powerful V8 Corvette engine along with the rear De Dion tube employed for the GT:'Rivolta had me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion conduit and especially the Corvette motor. It was the first-time I had driven just one. It was superior to help Ferrari's engines, having the same power but with a more immediate throttle reply. 'The Iso Rivolta GT seemed to be a Giugiaro designed 4 seater with beautiful system, speed, comfort and handling, and was a prosperous car for ISO having 799 units sold.
