The Iso Gordon GT prototype got its start from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT was designed in 1960 by means of Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the car and was impressed by the powerful V8 Corvette engine as well as the rear De Dion tube useful for the GT:'Rivolta acquired me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion pipe and especially the Corvette serp. It was the new I had driven just one.

The Grifo epitomised this 1960s Italian style using its handsome low and wide handmade bodywork. It was the fastest production car tested through Autocar Magazine in 1966 using 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) engine. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable by the raised "pagoda style" scoop bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri devices were rebuilt later with a whole lot larger engines.
