Bizzarrini has been fired by Ferrari throughout the "palace revolt" of 1961. He became part of Automobili Turismo e Sports activity (ATS)), a company started through 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 economic 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 style a V-12 engine for any GT car to become built by another disappointed Ferrari customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini. Lamborghini considered the resulting engine for being too highly strung, and ordered that that be detuned.

Bizzarrini worked since 1964 regarding Iso Rivolta and formulated three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L in addition to A3C versions. His work was to produce a pressed steel framework chassis for Iso cars and trucks. 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 ended up being designed in 1960 simply by Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the auto and was impressed because of the powerful V8 Corvette engine plus the rear De Dion tube used by 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 a single. It was superior for you to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but having a more immediate throttle result. 'The Iso Rivolta GT has been a Giugiaro designed several seater with beautiful physique, speed, comfort and handling, and was a effective 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 pushed steel monocoque bodywork around pressed steel frame chassis. Unveiled to the media in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L was a monstrous idea for the super coupé, the L coming via Lusso. The result of the brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini functioning together, it was based on a shortened Iso Rivolta GT framework and was debuted in the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised your 1960s Italian style having its handsome low and broad handmade bodywork. It was the fastest production car tested simply by Autocar Magazine in 1966 which has a top speed of one hundred sixty mph (260 km/h). Later versions of the actual Grifo were powered by the big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) engine. 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 great deal larger engines.

The concept of Bizzarrini was to use the 3AL cars for competitors. The competition versions from the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or Corsa. A new lightweight riveted lightweight alloy body was designed along with built by Piero Drogo. It was an strongly designed machine, oriented to endurance races. It uses normal ISO underpinnings even so the engine was moved further back in the chassis frame than the Grifo A3L, protruding well into the driver's cabin, fitted with hot cameras and fed by four big Weber carburettors, giving more than 500 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).
Around 29 A3C sport cars were built beneath the ISO name. Five of these 28 cars were bodied within plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo from Carrozzeria Sports Cars within Modena. A3Cs were widely raced. Some cars entered the actual 1964 and 1965 Le Mans 24 hour, 1965 Nürburgring 1000 as well as 1965 Sebring. It achieved a Le Mans class win in both years plus a 9th overall in 1965 with no factory support. A3Cs were one with the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Directly in both years.
