Bizzarrini Ohydrates. p. A. was an Italian automotive manufacturer from the 1960s founded by former Alfa Romeo, Ferrari and ISO manufacture, Giotto Bizzarrini. The company built few highly developed and advanced sport and racing vehicles before failing in 1969. Notable models include this 5300 GT Strada and also the P538S.Originally Prototipi Bizzarrini ersus. r. l., the name was improved to Bizzarrini S. p. A. in 1966. The Bizzarrini marque has become revived with several concept cars in the actual 2000s.Giotto Bizzarrini was given birth to in Livorno, Italy in 1926. His father was a rich landowner who originated from a family with robust roots in Tuscany as well as 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 on the Livorno Library sections ended up being named The Bizzarrini Stockpile.Bizzarrini graduated as an engineer inside the University of Pisa in 1953. He taught briefly prior to joining Alfa Romeo within 1954. He worked for Alfa Romeo from 1954 to 1957. He began working for Ferrari in 1957, eventually becoming controller connected with experimental, Sports and GT car or truck development.

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

Bizzarrini worked since 1964 with regard to Iso Rivolta and produced three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L and also A3C versions. His work was in order to develop a pressed steel frame chassis for Iso autos. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant towards the Iso Gordon GT task which became the Iso Rivolta GT. The Iso Gordon GT prototype got its start from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT had been designed in 1960 simply by Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the car or truck and was impressed through the powerful V8 Corvette engine along with the rear De Dion tube employed for the GT:'Rivolta got me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion tube and especially the Corvette engine. It was the very first time I had driven one particular. It was superior to be able to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but with a more immediate throttle answer. 'The Iso Rivolta GT has been a Giugiaro designed four seater with beautiful physique, speed, comfort and handling, and was a productive car for ISO along with 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine using a classic De Dion back suspension design with pressed steel monocoque bodywork around pressed steel frame chassis. Unveiled to the push in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L ended up being a monstrous idea for a super coupé, the L coming by Lusso. The result of the brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini doing the job together, it was based with a shortened Iso Rivolta GT framework and was debuted at the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised the 1960s Italian style featuring a handsome low and extensive handmade bodywork. It was the most effective production car tested by Autocar Magazine in 1966 which has a top speed of one hundred sixty mph (260 km/h). Later versions of the Grifo were powered with a big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) motor. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable from the raised "pagoda style" details bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri units were rebuilt later with a whole lot larger engines.

The thinking behind Bizzarrini was to utilize the 3AL cars for opposition. The competition versions of the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione as well as Corsa. A new lightweight riveted aluminum body was designed and also built by Piero Drogo. It was an aggressively designed machine, oriented to endurance backrounds. It uses normal ISO underpinnings even so the engine was moved further in the chassis frame compared to Grifo A3L, protruding well into the actual driver's cabin, fitted with hot cams and fed by several big Weber carburettors, giving more than 600 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).

All around 29 A3C sport cars were built beneath ISO name. Five of these 29 cars were bodied within plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo with Carrozzeria Sports Cars inside Modena. A3Cs were widely ran. Some cars entered the particular 1964 and 1965 Le Mans 24 hour, 1965 Nürburgring 1000 along with 1965 Sebring. It achieved a Le Mans class win in both years and also a 9th overall in 1965 with no factory support. A3Cs were one on the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Right in both years.
