The idea of Bizzarrini was to utilize the 3AL cars for opposition. The competition versions of the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or maybe Corsa. A new lightweight riveted alloy body was designed and built by Piero Drogo. It was an boldy designed machine, oriented to endurance backgrounds. It uses normal ISO underpinnings nevertheless 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 4 big Weber carburettors, giving more than four hundred bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).
