Notable models include your 5300 GT Strada and also the P538S.Originally Prototipi Bizzarrini ersus. r. l., the name was improved to Bizzarrini S. p. A. in 1966. The Bizzarrini marque has been revived with many concept cars in the particular 2000s.Giotto Bizzarrini was born in Livorno, Italy in 1926.

Bizzarrini was fired by Ferrari during the "palace revolt" of 1961. He became part regarding Automobili Turismo e Sport (ATS)), a company started by the ex-Ferrari engineers to develop a Formula 1 single seater along with a GT sport car, the A. T. S. Serenissima.One of ATS's financial backers, Count Giovanni Volpi, owner of Scuderia Serenissima, hired Bizzarrini to upgrade a Ferrari 250 GT SWB, with chassis number #2819GT to help GTO specifications. This resulted in the actual Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo often known as the "Breadvan".Bizzarrini's engineering company, Societa Autostar, was commissioned to layout a V-12 engine for any GT car to end up being built by another unhappy 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 developed three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L and A3C versions. His work was to develop a pressed steel shape chassis for Iso automobiles. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant towards the Iso Gordon GT venture which became the Iso Rivolta GT. The Iso Gordon GT prototype was developed from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT had been designed in 1960 by means of Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the vehicle and was impressed through the powerful V8 Corvette engine along with the rear De Dion tube 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 1. It was superior to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but having a more immediate throttle result. 'The Iso Rivolta GT had been a Giugiaro designed four seater with beautiful entire body, speed, comfort and handling, and was a prosperous car for ISO with 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine which has a classic De Dion backside suspension design with constrained steel monocoque bodywork around pressed steel frame framework. Unveiled to the push 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 your brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini doing the job together, it was based on the shortened Iso Rivolta GT chassis and was debuted with the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised the 1960s Italian style with its handsome low and vast handmade bodywork. It was the fastest production car tested by simply Autocar Magazine in 1966 that has a top speed of one hundred sixty mph (260 km/h). Later versions of the actual Grifo were powered by way of big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) engine. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable because of the raised "pagoda style" deal bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri devices were rebuilt later with a great deal larger engines.

The thinking behind Bizzarrini was to use the 3AL cars for levels of competition. The competition versions of the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or perhaps Corsa. A new lightweight riveted aluminum body was designed and also built by Piero Drogo. It was an in a hostile manner designed machine, oriented to endurance events. It uses normal ISO underpinnings however the engine was moved further in the chassis frame compared to Grifo A3L, protruding well into the actual driver's cabin, fitted with hot cams and fed by some big Weber carburettors, giving more than 300 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).

Around 29 A3C sport cars were built under the ISO name. Five of these up to 29 cars were bodied inside plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo in Carrozzeria Sports Cars with Modena. A3Cs were widely raced. Some cars entered your 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 and also a 9th overall in 1965 with no factory support. A3Cs were one with the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Straight in both years.
