Bizzarrini worked since 1964 for Iso Rivolta and designed three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L along with A3C versions. His work was to formulate a pressed steel body chassis for Iso cars and trucks. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant towards Iso Gordon GT challenge which became the Iso Rivolta GT. The Iso Gordon GT prototype originated from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT has been designed in 1960 simply by Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the car and was impressed through the powerful V8 Corvette engine as well as the rear De Dion tube useful for the GT:'Rivolta had me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion conduit and especially the Corvette engine. It was the very first time I had driven just one. It was superior to be able to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but that has a more immediate throttle reaction. 'The Iso Rivolta GT has been a Giugiaro designed four seater with beautiful entire body, speed, comfort and handling, and was a prosperous car for ISO having 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine having a classic De Dion backed suspension design with pushed steel monocoque bodywork more than pressed steel frame chassis. Unveiled to the press in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L has been a monstrous idea to get a super coupé, the L coming from Lusso. The result of the brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini operating together, it was based using a shortened Iso Rivolta GT chassis and was debuted with the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised the particular 1960s Italian style with its handsome low and wide handmade bodywork. It was the speediest 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) engine. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable from the raised "pagoda style" scoop bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri devices were rebuilt later with a great deal larger engines.

The thinking behind Bizzarrini was to utilize 3AL cars for levels of competition. The competition versions with the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or even Corsa. A new lightweight riveted lightweight alloy body was designed and also built by Piero Drogo. It was an more boldly designed machine, oriented to endurance races. It uses normal ISO underpinnings however the engine was moved further last the chassis frame than the Grifo A3L, protruding well into this driver's cabin, fitted with hot cams and fed by 4 big Weber carburettors, giving more than 400 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).
