Bizzarrini S. p. A. was an Italian automotive manufacturer inside the 1960s founded by former Alfa Romeo, Ferrari and ISO industrial engineer, Giotto Bizzarrini. The company built few highly developed and sophisticated sport and racing vehicles before failing in 1969. Notable models include the particular 5300 GT Strada as well as the P538S.Originally Prototipi Bizzarrini ersus. r. l., the name was altered to Bizzarrini S. p. A. in 1966. The Bizzarrini marque has been revived with a number of concept cars in this 2000s.Giotto Bizzarrini was given birth to in Livorno, Italy in 1926. His father was the rich landowner who originated a family with robust roots in Tuscany and the city of Livorno. His grandfather, also named Giotto Bizzarrini, was a biologist who had caused Guglielmo Marconi on the inventions, especially the radio, following which one of the Livorno Library sections ended up being named The Bizzarrini Stockpile.Bizzarrini graduated as an engineer from the University of Pisa with 1953. He taught briefly previous to joining Alfa Romeo in 1954. He worked for Alfa Romeo through 1954 to 1957. He began working for Ferrari in 1957, eventually becoming controller associated with experimental, Sports and GT car or truck development. He worked at Ferrari like a developer, designer, test driver, and chief engineer intended for five years.

Bizzarrini had been fired by Ferrari over the "palace revolt" of 1961. He became part of Automobili Turismo e Activity (ATS)), a company started because of the ex-Ferrari engineers to develop a Formula 1 single seater plus a GT sport car, the A. T. S. Serenissima.One of ATS's personal backers, Count Giovanni Volpi, owner of Scuderia Serenissima, hired Bizzarrini to enhance a Ferrari 250 GT SWB, with chassis number #2819GT to help GTO specifications. This resulted in this Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo also referred to as the "Breadvan".Bizzarrini's engineering company, Societa Autostar, was commissioned to design a V-12 engine to get a GT car to be built by another dissatisfied Ferrari customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini. Lamborghini considered the resulting engine for being too highly strung, and ordered that this be detuned.

Bizzarrini worked since 1964 pertaining to Iso Rivolta and formulated three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L and also A3C versions. His work was to build up a pressed steel body chassis for Iso automobiles. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant towards 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 seemed to be designed in 1960 through Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the automobile and was impressed with the powerful V8 Corvette engine along with the rear De Dion tube used for the GT:'Rivolta had me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion tubing and especially the Corvette motor. It was the very first time I had driven 1. It was superior in order to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but having a more immediate throttle result. 'The Iso Rivolta GT had been a Giugiaro designed some seater with beautiful body, speed, comfort and handling, and was a successful car for ISO along with 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine which has a classic De Dion raise suspension design with forced steel monocoque bodywork around pressed steel frame chassis. Unveiled to the push in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L seemed to be a monstrous idea for just a super coupé, the L coming through Lusso. The result of the actual brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini working together, it was based using a shortened Iso Rivolta GT framework and was debuted on the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised the 1960s Italian style which consists of handsome low and broad handmade bodywork. It was the quickest production car tested by Autocar Magazine in 1966 having a top speed of 160 mph (260 km/h). Later versions of the actual Grifo were powered by a big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) motor. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable by the raised "pagoda style" information bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri units were rebuilt later with even bigger engines.

The thought of Bizzarrini was to utilize 3AL cars for competition. The competition versions in the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or perhaps Corsa. A new lightweight riveted alloy body was designed and built by Piero Drogo. It was an more boldly designed machine, oriented to endurance races. It uses normal ISO underpinnings but the engine was moved further last the chassis frame versus Grifo A3L, protruding well into the particular driver's cabin, fitted with hot cameras and fed by several big Weber carburettors, giving more than 400 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).

Around 29 A3C sport cars were built beneath ISO name. Five of these 30 cars were bodied with plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo with Carrozzeria Sports Cars inside Modena. A3Cs were widely ran. Some cars entered the particular 1964 and 1965 The Mans 24 hour, 1965 Nürburgring 1000 in addition to 1965 Sebring. It achieved a Le Mans class win in both years as well as a 9th overall in 1965 without the need of factory support. A3Cs were one on the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Straight in both years.
