Bizzarrini Azines. p. A. was an Italian automotive manufacturer within the 1960s founded by ex- Alfa Romeo, Ferrari and ISO electrical engineer, Giotto Bizzarrini. The company built a small amount of highly developed and advanced sport and racing autos before failing in 1969. Notable models include the particular 5300 GT Strada plus the P538S.Originally Prototipi Bizzarrini ersus. r. l., the name was altered to Bizzarrini S. p. A. in 1966. The Bizzarrini marque have been revived with many concept cars in the particular 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 robust roots in Tuscany and the city of Livorno. His grandfather, also named Giotto Bizzarrini, was a biologist who had worked with Guglielmo Marconi on his inventions, especially the radio, following which one of the Livorno Library sections was named The Bizzarrini Library.Bizzarrini graduated as an engineer from the University of Pisa with 1953. He taught briefly prior to joining Alfa Romeo with 1954. He worked for Alfa Romeo via 1954 to 1957. He began working intended for Ferrari in 1957, eventually becoming controller of experimental, Sports and GT automobile development. He worked at Ferrari like a developer, designer, test driver, and chief engineer with regard to five years. His developments there included the Ferrari 250 TR, the Ferrari 250 GT SWB (Short Wheelbase Berlinetta or Berlinetta Passo Corto), and the 1962 Ferrari 400 GTO.

Bizzarrini had been fired by Ferrari throughout the "palace revolt" of 1961. He became part associated with Automobili Turismo e Sport (ATS)), a company started with the ex-Ferrari engineers to make a Formula 1 single seater and a GT sport car, the A. T. S. Serenissima.One of ATS's financial backers, Count Giovanni Volpi, owner of Scuderia Serenissima, hired Bizzarrini to up grade a Ferrari 250 GT SWB, with chassis number #2819GT to help GTO specifications. This resulted in the actual Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo often known as the "Breadvan".Bizzarrini's engineering company, Societa Autostar, was commissioned to style a V-12 engine to get a GT car to end up being built by another unhappy Ferrari customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini. Lamborghini considered the resulting engine to become too highly strung, and ordered that that be detuned.

Bizzarrini worked since 1964 pertaining to Iso Rivolta and designed three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L along with A3C versions. His work was to build up a pressed steel body chassis for Iso cars. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant for the 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 has been designed in 1960 by means of Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the car and was impressed because of the powerful V8 Corvette engine and the rear De Dion tube useful for the GT:'Rivolta got me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion conduit and especially the Corvette powerplant. It was the new I had driven one. It was superior to help Ferrari's engines, having the same power but having a more immediate throttle result. 'The Iso Rivolta GT has been a Giugiaro designed a number of seater with beautiful entire body, speed, comfort and handling, and was a effective car for ISO along with 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine using a classic De Dion backed suspension design with constrained steel monocoque bodywork in excess of pressed steel frame chassis. Unveiled to the media in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L had been a monstrous idea to get a super coupé, the L coming from Lusso. The result of the particular brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini doing work together, it was based with a shortened Iso Rivolta GT framework and was debuted at the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised this 1960s Italian style with its handsome low and vast handmade bodywork. It was the speediest production car tested simply by Autocar Magazine in 1966 using a top speed of one hundred sixty 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 because of the raised "pagoda style" info bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri units were rebuilt later with even bigger engines.
alors Giotto Bizzarrini,
The concept of Bizzarrini was to operate the 3AL cars for levels of 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 along with built by Piero Drogo. It was an more boldly designed machine, oriented to endurance races. It uses normal ISO underpinnings though the engine was moved further last the chassis frame than the Grifo A3L, protruding well into this driver's cabin, fitted with hot cameras and fed by several big Weber carburettors, giving more than four hundred bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).

All around 29 A3C sport cars were built beneath the ISO name. Five of these 30 cars were bodied in plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo at Carrozzeria Sports Cars inside 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 as well as a 9th overall in 1965 without the need of factory support. A3Cs were one from the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Straight in both years.
