Bizzarrini Ersus. p. A. was an Italian automotive manufacturer within the 1960s founded by past Alfa Romeo, Ferrari and ISO electrical engineer, Giotto Bizzarrini. The company built limited highly developed and sophisticated sport and racing automobiles before failing in 1969. Notable models include this 5300 GT Strada and the P538S.Originally Prototipi Bizzarrini utes. r. l., the name was transformed to Bizzarrini S. p. A. in 1966. The Bizzarrini marque continues to be revived with several concept cars in the particular 2000s.Giotto Bizzarrini was blessed in Livorno, Italy in 1926. His father was any rich landowner who originated in a family with powerful roots in Tuscany and the city of Livorno. His grandfather, also named Giotto Bizzarrini, was a biologist who had worked with Guglielmo Marconi on their inventions, especially the radio, following which one with the Livorno Library sections ended up being named The Bizzarrini Selection.Bizzarrini graduated as an engineer inside University of Pisa with 1953. He taught briefly just before joining Alfa Romeo in 1954. He worked for Alfa Romeo via 1954 to 1957. He began working with regard to Ferrari in 1957, eventually becoming controller connected with experimental, Sports and GT car development. He worked at Ferrari like a developer, designer, test driver, and chief engineer intended for five years. His developments there incorporated the Ferrari 250 TR, the Ferrari 250 GT SWB (Quick Wheelbase Berlinetta or Berlinetta Passo Corto), and the 1962 Ferrari 300 GTO.
Bizzarrini seemed to be fired by Ferrari in the "palace revolt" of 1961. He became part regarding Automobili Turismo e Game (ATS)), a company started because of the ex-Ferrari engineers to produce a Formula 1 single seater and a GT sport car, the A. T. S. Serenissima.One of ATS's economic backers, Count Giovanni Volpi, owner of Scuderia Serenissima, hired Bizzarrini to upgrade a Ferrari 250 GT SWB, with chassis number #2819GT for you to GTO specifications. This resulted in the particular Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo also called the "Breadvan".Bizzarrini's engineering company, Societa Autostar, was commissioned to layout a V-12 engine for a GT car to be built by another unhappy Ferrari customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini. Lamborghini considered the resulting engine for being too highly strung, and ordered that the item be detuned.

Bizzarrini worked since 1964 intended for Iso Rivolta and formulated three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L along with A3C versions. His work was to develop a pressed steel body chassis for Iso automobiles. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant to the Iso Gordon GT task which became the Iso Rivolta GT. The Iso Gordon GT prototype was created from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT seemed to be designed in 1960 by Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the vehicle and was impressed through the powerful V8 Corvette engine plus the rear De Dion tube for the GT:'Rivolta got me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion conduit and especially the Corvette powerplant. It was the very first time that I had driven 1. It was superior to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but having a more immediate throttle reaction. 'The Iso Rivolta GT ended up being a Giugiaro designed some seater with beautiful physique, speed, comfort and handling, and was a prosperous car for ISO with 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine with a classic De Dion back suspension design with pressed steel monocoque bodywork around pressed steel frame chassis. Unveiled to the mass media in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L has been a monstrous idea for a super coupé, the L coming coming from Lusso. The result of the particular brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini doing work together, it was based over a shortened Iso Rivolta GT framework and was debuted for the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised the 1960s Italian style with its handsome low and large handmade bodywork. It was the most effective production car tested by simply Autocar Magazine in 1966 using a top speed of 160 mph (260 km/h). Later versions of the actual Grifo were powered by way of a big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) serp. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable through the raised "pagoda style" deal bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri units were rebuilt later with even bigger engines.

The idea of Bizzarrini was to operate the 3AL cars for rivalry. The competition versions on the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or perhaps Corsa. A new lightweight riveted aluminium lightweight body was designed in addition to built by Piero Drogo. It was an aggressively designed machine, oriented to endurance contests. It uses normal ISO underpinnings though the engine was moved further last the chassis frame as opposed to Grifo A3L, protruding well into the particular driver's cabin, fitted with hot cams and fed by 4 big Weber carburettors, giving more than 600 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).

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