The concept of Bizzarrini was to utilize 3AL cars for opposition. The competition versions of the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or even Corsa. A new lightweight riveted lightweight alloy body was designed along with built by Piero Drogo. It was an in a hostile manner designed machine, oriented to endurance backgrounds. It uses normal ISO underpinnings even so the engine was moved further in the chassis frame compared to Grifo A3L, protruding well into the particular driver's cabin, fitted with hot cams and fed by some big Weber carburettors, giving more than four hundred bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).
