Bizzarrini Utes. p. A. was an Italian automotive manufacturer within the 1960s founded by ex- Alfa Romeo, Ferrari and ISO electrical engineer, Giotto Bizzarrini. The company built only a few highly developed and state-of-the-art sport and racing automobiles before failing in 1969. Notable models include the particular 5300 GT Strada plus the P538S.Originally Prototipi Bizzarrini s. r. l., the name was changed to Bizzarrini S. p. A. in 1966. The Bizzarrini marque continues to be revived with many concept cars in this 2000s.Giotto Bizzarrini was created in Livorno, Italy in 1926. His father was some sort of rich landowner who originated in a family with sturdy roots in Tuscany along with the city of Livorno. His grandfather, also named Giotto Bizzarrini, was a biologist who had caused Guglielmo Marconi on his or her inventions, especially the radio, following which one on the Livorno Library sections has been named The Bizzarrini Collection.Bizzarrini graduated as an engineer in the University of Pisa inside 1953. He taught briefly ahead of joining Alfa Romeo within 1954. He worked for Alfa Romeo coming from 1954 to 1957. He began working intended for Ferrari in 1957, eventually becoming controller involving experimental, Sports and GT vehicle development. He worked at Ferrari as being a developer, designer, test driver, and chief engineer regarding five years. His developments there involved the Ferrari 250 TR, the Ferrari 250 GT SWB (Brief Wheelbase Berlinetta or Berlinetta Passo Corto), and the 1962 Ferrari 300 GTO.

Bizzarrini seemed to be fired by Ferrari during the "palace revolt" of 1961. He became part connected with Automobili Turismo e Sport (ATS)), a company started from the ex-Ferrari engineers to develop a Formula 1 single seater and 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 enhance a Ferrari 250 GT SWB, with chassis number #2819GT to GTO specifications. This resulted in this Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo also called the "Breadvan".Bizzarrini's engineering company, Societa Autostar, was commissioned to design and style a V-12 engine for any GT car to become built by another not satisfied Ferrari customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini. Lamborghini considered the resulting engine to become too highly strung, and ordered that that be detuned.

Bizzarrini worked since 1964 pertaining to Iso Rivolta and formulated three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L and also A3C versions. His work was to produce a pressed steel figure chassis for Iso autos. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant towards Iso Gordon GT venture which became the Iso Rivolta GT. The Iso Gordon GT prototype originated from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT has been designed in 1960 by means of Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the auto and was impressed with the powerful V8 Corvette engine as well as the rear De Dion tube useful for the GT:'Rivolta experienced me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion pipe and especially the Corvette motor. It was the first time I had driven just one. It was superior to be able to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but that has a more immediate throttle reaction. 'The Iso Rivolta GT seemed to be a Giugiaro designed a number of seater with beautiful entire body, speed, comfort and handling, and was a profitable car for ISO along with 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine that has a classic De Dion back suspension design with constrained steel monocoque bodywork around pressed steel frame framework. Unveiled to the press in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L seemed to be a monstrous idea for a super coupé, the L coming by Lusso. The result of this brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini doing the job together, it was based on a shortened Iso Rivolta GT framework and was debuted in the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised the particular 1960s Italian style using its handsome low and large handmade bodywork. It was the quickest production car tested by means of Autocar Magazine in 1966 that has a top speed of 160 mph (260 km/h). Later versions of the actual Grifo were powered by a big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) powerplant. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable by the raised "pagoda style" information bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri models were rebuilt later with even bigger engines.

The thinking behind Bizzarrini was to operate the 3AL cars for levels of competition. The competition versions of the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or Corsa. A new lightweight riveted lightweight alloy body was designed as well as built by Piero Drogo. It was an aggressively designed machine, oriented to endurance contests. It uses normal ISO underpinnings nevertheless the engine was moved further the government financial aid the chassis frame than the Grifo A3L, protruding well into your driver's cabin, fitted with hot cams and fed by four big Weber carburettors, giving more than 500 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).

All-around 29 A3C sport cars were built under the ISO name. Five of these 30 cars were bodied with plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo with Carrozzeria Sports Cars throughout Modena. A3Cs were widely ran. Some cars entered the 1964 and 1965 The Mans 24 hour, 1965 Nürburgring 1000 and 1965 Sebring. It achieved a The Mans class win in both years plus a 9th overall in 1965 with no factory support. A3Cs were one with the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Directly in both years.
