Bizzarrini S. p. A. was an Italian automotive manufacturer inside the 1960s founded by ex- Alfa Romeo, Ferrari and ISO electrical engineer, Giotto Bizzarrini. The company built limited highly developed and innovative sport and racing cars before failing in 1969. Notable models include the particular 5300 GT Strada plus the P538S.Originally Prototipi Bizzarrini utes. r. l., the name was transformed to Bizzarrini S. p. A. in 1966. The Bizzarrini marque continues to be revived with many concept cars in this 2000s.Giotto Bizzarrini was delivered in Livorno, Italy in 1926. His father was a rich landowner who originated in a family with robust roots in Tuscany and also 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 on the Livorno Library sections was named The Bizzarrini Library.Bizzarrini graduated as an engineer in the University of Pisa in 1953. He taught briefly before joining Alfa Romeo in 1954. He worked for Alfa Romeo via 1954 to 1957. He began working intended for Ferrari in 1957, eventually becoming controller connected with experimental, Sports and GT vehicle development.

Bizzarrini ended up being fired by Ferrari in the "palace revolt" of 1961. He became part of Automobili Turismo e 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 fiscal backers, Count Giovanni Volpi, owner of Scuderia Serenissima, hired Bizzarrini to improve a Ferrari 250 GT SWB, with chassis number #2819GT to GTO specifications. This resulted in this Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo also known as the "Breadvan".Bizzarrini's engineering company, Societa Autostar, was commissioned to design and style a V-12 engine to get a GT car to end up being built by another dissatisfied Ferrari customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini. Lamborghini considered the resulting engine being too highly strung, and ordered that the item be detuned.
Giotto Bizzarrini and Bizzarrini GT 5300 Background
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 body chassis for Iso cars. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant for the Iso Gordon GT undertaking 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 by means of Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the vehicle and was impressed with the powerful V8 Corvette engine along with the rear De Dion tube useful for the GT:'Rivolta experienced me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion tubing and especially the Corvette serp. It was the new I had driven one. It was superior to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but with a more immediate throttle response. 'The Iso Rivolta GT seemed to be a Giugiaro designed several seater with beautiful body, speed, comfort and handling, and was a prosperous car for ISO along with 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine with a classic De Dion back suspension design with constrained steel monocoque bodywork over pressed steel frame chassis. Unveiled to the click in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L was a monstrous idea to get a super coupé, the L coming from Lusso. The result of the actual brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini working together, it was based using a shortened Iso Rivolta GT framework and was debuted at the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised the particular 1960s Italian style which consists of handsome low and large handmade bodywork. It was the fastest production car tested simply by Autocar Magazine in 1966 that 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) engine. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable with the raised "pagoda style" info bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri models were rebuilt later with a great deal larger engines.

The concept of Bizzarrini was to make use of the 3AL cars for rivalry. The competition versions with the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or perhaps Corsa. A new lightweight riveted alloy body was designed and built by Piero Drogo. It was an boldy designed machine, oriented to endurance races. It uses normal ISO underpinnings but the engine was moved further back in the chassis frame versus Grifo A3L, protruding well into the actual driver's cabin, fitted with hot cameras and fed by four big Weber carburettors, giving more than 300 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).

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