The Iso Gordon GT prototype was created from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT seemed to be designed in 1960 simply by Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the automobile and was impressed by the powerful V8 Corvette engine and the rear De Dion tube useful for the GT:'Rivolta had me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion tube and especially the Corvette motor. It was the first time I had driven just one. It was superior in order to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but having a more immediate throttle response. 'The Iso Rivolta GT has been a Giugiaro designed a number of seater with beautiful body, speed, comfort and handling, and was a profitable car for ISO with 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine using a classic De Dion rear suspension design with forced steel monocoque bodywork more than pressed steel frame framework. Unveiled to the media in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L had been a monstrous idea for a super coupé, the L coming via Lusso.

The concept of Bizzarrini was to utilize 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 alloy body was designed in addition to built by Piero Drogo. It was an strongly designed machine, oriented to endurance backgrounds. It uses normal ISO underpinnings but the engine was moved further back in the chassis frame than the Grifo A3L, protruding well into the particular driver's cabin, fitted with hot cameras and fed by a number of big Weber carburettors, giving more than 600 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).
