This resulted in your Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo also called the "Breadvan".Bizzarrini's engineering company, Societa Autostar, was commissioned to layout a V-12 engine for any GT car to end up being built by another disappointed Ferrari customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini. Lamborghini considered the resulting engine being too highly strung, and ordered that the item be detuned.

Bizzarrini worked since 1964 intended for Iso Rivolta and created three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L in addition to A3C versions. His work was to develop a pressed steel framework chassis for Iso vehicles. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant on the Iso Gordon GT challenge which became the Iso Rivolta GT. The Iso Gordon GT prototype was made from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT seemed to be designed in 1960 by means of Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the automobile and was impressed through the powerful V8 Corvette engine and also the rear De Dion tube employed for the GT:'Rivolta got me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion tubing and especially the Corvette engine. It was the very first time I had driven one particular. It was superior to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but that has a more immediate throttle result. 'The Iso Rivolta GT seemed to be a Giugiaro designed some seater with beautiful body, speed, comfort and handling, and was a successful car for ISO together with 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine using a classic De Dion raise suspension design with hard pressed steel monocoque bodywork in excess of pressed steel frame chassis. Unveiled to the media in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L ended up being a monstrous idea for a super coupé, the L coming from Lusso. The result of the brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini working together, it was based on the shortened Iso Rivolta GT chassis and was debuted for the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised the 1960s Italian style which consists of handsome low and vast handmade bodywork. It was the quickest production car tested by means of Autocar Magazine in 1966 having a top speed of one hundred sixty mph (260 km/h). Later versions of this Grifo were powered by way of a big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) serp. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable because of the raised "pagoda style" deal bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri devices were rebuilt later with a whole lot larger engines.

The concept of Bizzarrini was to operate the 3AL cars for levels of competition. The competition versions from the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione as well as Corsa. A new lightweight riveted alloy body was designed along with built by Piero Drogo. It was an strongly designed machine, oriented to endurance races. It uses normal ISO underpinnings even so the engine was moved further the government financial aid the chassis frame as opposed to Grifo A3L, protruding well into the driver's cabin, fitted with hot cams and fed by 4 big Weber carburettors, giving more than four hundred bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).

All around 29 A3C sport cars were built under the ISO name. Five of these 30 cars were bodied inside plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo at Carrozzeria Sports Cars within Modena. A3Cs were widely competed. Some cars entered the particular 1964 and 1965 Le Mans 24 hour, 1965 Nürburgring 1000 and also 1965 Sebring. It achieved a The Mans class win in both years and a 9th overall in 1965 without having factory support. A3Cs were one from the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Immediately in both years.
