Bizzarrini seemed to be fired by Ferrari through the "palace revolt" of 1961. He became part associated with Automobili Turismo e Game (ATS)), a company started with the ex-Ferrari engineers to develop a Formula 1 single seater plus 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 upgrade a Ferrari 250 GT SWB, with chassis number #2819GT to be able to GTO specifications.

The idea of Bizzarrini was to utilize 3AL cars for competition. The competition versions with the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or perhaps Corsa. A new lightweight riveted aluminum body was designed as well as built by Piero Drogo. It was an in a hostile manner designed machine, oriented to endurance events. It uses normal ISO underpinnings even so the engine was moved further in the chassis frame than the Grifo A3L, protruding well into your driver's cabin, fitted with hot cameras and fed by a number of big Weber carburettors, giving more than four hundred bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).
