Bizzarrini S. p. A. was an Italian automotive manufacturer in the 1960s founded by ex - Alfa Romeo, Ferrari and ISO engineer, Giotto Bizzarrini. The company built limited highly developed and superior sport and racing motor vehicles before failing in 1969. Notable models include the actual 5300 GT Strada as well as the P538S.Originally Prototipi Bizzarrini azines. r. l., the name was altered to Bizzarrini S. p. A. in 1966. The Bizzarrini marque have been revived with several concept cars in the actual 2000s.Giotto Bizzarrini was blessed in Livorno, Italy in 1926. His father was any rich landowner who originated in 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 his inventions, especially the radio, following which one from the Livorno Library sections has been named The Bizzarrini Catalogue.Bizzarrini graduated as an engineer from the University of Pisa inside 1953. He taught briefly just before joining Alfa Romeo in 1954. He worked for Alfa Romeo from 1954 to 1957. He began working with regard to Ferrari in 1957, eventually becoming controller involving experimental, Sports and GT auto development. He worked at Ferrari as being a developer, designer, test driver, and chief engineer with regard to five years.

Bizzarrini was fired by Ferrari through the "palace revolt" of 1961. He became part associated with Automobili Turismo e Sports activity (ATS)), a company started with the ex-Ferrari engineers to develop a Formula 1 single seater and also a GT sport car, the A. T. S. Serenissima.One of ATS's monetary backers, Count Giovanni Volpi, owner of Scuderia Serenissima, hired Bizzarrini to update a Ferrari 250 GT SWB, with chassis number #2819GT for you to GTO specifications. This resulted in this 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 any GT car to always be built by another dissatisfied Ferrari customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini. Lamborghini considered the resulting engine to get too highly strung, and ordered that that be detuned.

Bizzarrini worked since 1964 pertaining to Iso Rivolta and developed three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L along with A3C versions. His work was to formulate a pressed steel framework chassis for Iso automobiles. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant to the Iso Gordon GT challenge which became the Iso Rivolta GT. The Iso Gordon GT prototype got its start from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT was designed in 1960 through Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the auto and was impressed with 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 pipe and especially the Corvette serp. It was the first-time I had driven a single. It was superior in order to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but that has a more immediate throttle answer. 'The Iso Rivolta GT had been a Giugiaro designed some seater with beautiful system, speed, comfort and handling, and was a productive car for ISO with 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine which has a classic De Dion backed suspension design with constrained steel monocoque bodywork in excess of pressed steel frame framework. Unveiled to the media in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L has been a monstrous idea for a super coupé, the L coming by Lusso. The result of the particular brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini working together, it was based on the shortened Iso Rivolta GT framework and was debuted in the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised the actual 1960s Italian style with its handsome low and wide handmade bodywork. It was the most effective production car tested through Autocar Magazine in 1966 having a top speed of 160 mph (260 km/h). Later versions of the actual Grifo were powered by the big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) engine. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable with the raised "pagoda style" deal bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri items were rebuilt later with a whole lot larger engines.

The idea of Bizzarrini was to use the 3AL cars for competitors. The competition versions with the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione as well as Corsa. A new lightweight riveted aluminium body was designed and built by Piero Drogo. It was an strongly designed machine, oriented to endurance backrounds. It uses normal ISO underpinnings though the engine was moved further back in the chassis frame than the Grifo A3L, protruding well into this driver's cabin, fitted with hot cams and fed by several big Weber carburettors, giving more than four hundred bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).

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