Thinking about Bizzarrini was to use the 3AL cars for competitors. The competition versions on the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or maybe Corsa. A new lightweight riveted alloy body was designed and also built by Piero Drogo. It was an boldy designed machine, oriented to endurance backgrounds. It uses normal ISO underpinnings nevertheless the engine was moved further back the chassis frame compared to the Grifo A3L, protruding well into your driver's cabin, fitted with hot cameras and fed by a number of big Weber carburettors, giving more than 500 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).
