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