Bizzarrini Utes. p. A. was an Italian automotive manufacturer inside the 1960s founded by ex- Alfa Romeo, Ferrari and ISO industrial engineer, Giotto Bizzarrini. The company built limited highly developed and sophisticated sport and racing cars before failing in 1969. Notable models include the 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 has been revived with quite a few concept cars in this 2000s.Giotto Bizzarrini was born in Livorno, Italy in 1926. His father was some sort of rich landowner who originated in a family with sturdy roots in Tuscany along with the city of Livorno. His grandfather, also named Giotto Bizzarrini, was a biologist who had worked with Guglielmo Marconi on his / her inventions, especially the radio, following which one on the Livorno Library sections seemed to be named The Bizzarrini Collection.Bizzarrini graduated as an engineer from the University of Pisa inside 1953. He taught briefly just before joining Alfa Romeo within 1954. He worked for Alfa Romeo through 1954 to 1957. He began working for Ferrari in 1957, eventually becoming controller regarding experimental, Sports and GT auto development.

Bizzarrini ended up being fired by Ferrari over the "palace revolt" of 1961. He became part associated with Automobili Turismo e Game (ATS)), a company started by the ex-Ferrari engineers to build a Formula 1 single seater as well as a GT sport car, the A. T. S. Serenissima.One of ATS's monetary 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 your Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo also referred to as the "Breadvan".Bizzarrini's engineering company, Societa Autostar, was commissioned to layout a V-12 engine for a GT car to become built by another dissatisfied Ferrari customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini. Lamborghini considered the resulting engine to get too highly strung, and ordered that this be detuned.

Bizzarrini worked since 1964 for Iso Rivolta and developed three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L as well as A3C versions. His work was to develop a pressed steel figure chassis for Iso vehicles. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant to the Iso Gordon GT challenge which became the Iso Rivolta GT. The Iso Gordon GT prototype was made from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT has been designed in 1960 by Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the vehicle and was impressed through the powerful V8 Corvette engine and the rear De Dion tube used by the GT:'Rivolta experienced me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion tubing and especially the Corvette motor. It was the first-time I had driven one. It was superior for you to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but with a more immediate throttle reaction. 'The Iso Rivolta GT ended up being a Giugiaro designed several seater with beautiful body, speed, comfort and handling, and was a profitable car for ISO with 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine having a classic De Dion raise suspension design with constrained steel monocoque bodywork in excess of pressed steel frame chassis. Unveiled to the press in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L has been a monstrous idea for just a super coupé, the L coming by Lusso. The result of this brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini doing work together, it was based on the shortened Iso Rivolta GT chassis and was debuted in the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised the actual 1960s Italian style which consists of handsome low and extensive handmade bodywork. It was the fastest production car tested by Autocar Magazine in 1966 having a top speed of 160 mph (260 km/h). Later versions of this Grifo were powered with a big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) powerplant. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable through the raised "pagoda style" deal bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri products were rebuilt later with a great deal larger engines.

The idea of Bizzarrini was to operate the 3AL cars for competitors. The competition versions of the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or even Corsa. A new lightweight riveted aluminium lightweight body was designed and also built by Piero Drogo. It was an aggressively designed machine, oriented to endurance backgrounds. It uses normal ISO underpinnings even so the engine was moved further back the chassis frame as opposed to Grifo A3L, protruding well into the actual driver's cabin, fitted with hot cameras and fed by a number of big Weber carburettors, giving more than 400 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).

All around 29 A3C sport cars were built beneath the ISO name. Five of these 30 cars were bodied with plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo at Carrozzeria Sports Cars throughout Modena. A3Cs were widely competed. Some cars entered the particular 1964 and 1965 The Mans 24 hour, 1965 Nürburgring 1000 along with 1965 Sebring. It achieved a The Mans class win in both years and also a 9th overall in 1965 without factory support. A3Cs were one with the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Right in both years.
