Notable models include your 5300 GT Strada along with the P538S.Originally Prototipi Bizzarrini ersus. r. l., the name was modified to Bizzarrini S. p. A. in 1966. The Bizzarrini marque continues to be revived with many concept cars in the actual 2000s.Giotto Bizzarrini was given birth to in Livorno, Italy in 1926. His father was some sort of rich landowner who originated a family with strong roots in Tuscany along with the city of Livorno.

Bizzarrini had been fired by Ferrari in the "palace revolt" of 1961. He became part of Automobili Turismo e Sports activity (ATS)), a company started with the ex-Ferrari engineers to make a Formula 1 single seater and also 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 up grade a Ferrari 250 GT SWB, with chassis number #2819GT to be able to GTO specifications. This resulted in your Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo also known as the "Breadvan".Bizzarrini's engineering company, Societa Autostar, was commissioned to layout a V-12 engine for any GT car to be built by another discontented Ferrari customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini. Lamborghini considered the resulting engine to get too highly strung, and ordered that this be detuned.

Bizzarrini worked since 1964 intended for Iso Rivolta and created three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L in addition to A3C versions. His work was in order to develop a pressed steel figure chassis for Iso automobiles. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant towards the Iso Gordon GT project which became the Iso Rivolta GT. The Iso Gordon GT prototype got its start from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT had been designed in 1960 through Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the car and was impressed with the powerful V8 Corvette engine and the rear De Dion tube employed for the GT:'Rivolta got me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion tube and especially the Corvette motor. It was the first time I had driven one particular. It was superior to help Ferrari's engines, having the same power but which has a more immediate throttle reply. 'The Iso Rivolta GT seemed to be a Giugiaro designed 4 seater with beautiful human body, speed, comfort and handling, and was a successful car for ISO with 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine having a classic De Dion raise suspension design with pushed steel monocoque bodywork in excess of pressed steel frame chassis. Unveiled to the push in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L has been a monstrous idea to get a super coupé, the L coming through Lusso. The result of the brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini doing the job together, it was based on a shortened Iso Rivolta GT framework and was debuted at the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised your 1960s Italian style with its handsome low and wide handmade bodywork. It was the most effective production car tested by Autocar Magazine in 1966 which has a top speed of one hundred sixty mph (260 km/h). Later versions of your Grifo were powered by way of big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) serps. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable with the raised "pagoda style" deal bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri models were rebuilt later with a whole lot larger engines.

The idea of Bizzarrini was to operate the 3AL cars for competition. The competition versions from the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or maybe Corsa. A new lightweight riveted lightweight alloy body was designed and also built by Piero Drogo. It was an aggressively designed machine, oriented to endurance backrounds. It uses normal ISO underpinnings even so the engine was moved further the government financial aid the chassis frame as opposed to Grifo A3L, protruding well into the driver's cabin, fitted with hot cams and fed by 4 big Weber carburettors, giving more than 300 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).

About 29 A3C sport cars were built within the ISO name. Five of these up to 29 cars were bodied throughout plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo from Carrozzeria Sports Cars inside Modena. A3Cs were widely raced. Some cars entered the 1964 and 1965 Le Mans 24 hour, 1965 Nürburgring 1000 and also 1965 Sebring. It achieved a Le Mans class win in both years plus a 9th overall in 1965 without any factory support. A3Cs were one on the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Right in both years.
