Bizzarrini tested the vehicle and was impressed by the powerful V8 Corvette engine along with the rear De Dion tube useful for the GT:'Rivolta acquired me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion pipe and especially the Corvette powerplant. It was the first-time I had driven just one. It was superior in order to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but that has a more immediate throttle reply. 'The Iso Rivolta GT ended up being a Giugiaro designed several seater with beautiful human body, speed, comfort and handling, and was a productive car for ISO having 799 units sold.

The thought of Bizzarrini was to operate the 3AL cars for opposition. The competition versions with the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or even Corsa. A new lightweight riveted aluminium body was designed and also built by Piero Drogo. It was an more boldly designed machine, oriented to endurance backrounds. It uses normal ISO underpinnings but the engine was moved further back in the chassis frame compared to the Grifo A3L, protruding well into the driver's cabin, fitted with hot cameras and fed by several big Weber carburettors, giving more than 500 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).
