The Bizzarrini marque have been revived with several concept cars in the 2000s.Giotto Bizzarrini was given birth to in Livorno, Italy in 1926. His father was a rich landowner who got their start in a family with powerful roots in Tuscany along with the city of Livorno.

Bizzarrini seemed to be fired by Ferrari through the "palace revolt" of 1961. He became part of Automobili Turismo e Sport (ATS)), a company started by the ex-Ferrari engineers to create a Formula 1 single seater and 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 upgrade a Ferrari 250 GT SWB, with chassis number #2819GT in order to GTO specifications. This resulted in the actual Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo generally known as the "Breadvan".Bizzarrini's engineering company, Societa Autostar, was commissioned to layout a V-12 engine for a GT car to always be built by another disappointed Ferrari customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini. Lamborghini considered the resulting engine being too highly strung, and ordered that that be detuned.

Bizzarrini worked since 1964 intended for Iso Rivolta and designed three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L along with A3C versions. His work was to produce a pressed steel figure chassis for Iso cars and trucks. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant to the Iso Gordon GT undertaking which became the Iso Rivolta GT. The Iso Gordon GT prototype was made from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT seemed to be designed in 1960 through Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the car and was impressed because of the powerful V8 Corvette engine as well as the rear De Dion tube used for the GT:'Rivolta acquired me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion pipe and especially the Corvette serp. It was the first-time I had driven a single. It was superior for you to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but with a more immediate throttle reaction. 'The Iso Rivolta GT seemed to be a Giugiaro designed 4 seater with beautiful human body, speed, comfort and handling, and was a profitable car for ISO along with 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine which has a classic De Dion backed suspension design with pressed steel monocoque bodywork above pressed steel frame chassis. Unveiled to the media in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L had been a monstrous idea for the super coupé, the L coming through Lusso. The result of the brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini working together, it was based on the shortened Iso Rivolta GT chassis and was debuted in the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised this 1960s Italian style with its handsome low and extensive handmade bodywork. It was the quickest production car tested by means of Autocar Magazine in 1966 using a top speed of 160 mph (260 km/h). Later versions of the particular 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" scoop bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri units were rebuilt later with a whole lot larger engines.
The thought of Bizzarrini was to utilize 3AL cars for opposition. The competition versions of the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or Corsa. A new lightweight riveted lightweight alloy body was designed in addition to built by Piero Drogo. It was an strongly designed machine, oriented to endurance events. It uses normal ISO underpinnings even so the engine was moved further last the chassis frame versus Grifo A3L, protruding well into the actual driver's cabin, fitted with hot cameras and fed by four big Weber carburettors, giving more than four hundred bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).

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