Thinking about Bizzarrini was to make use of the 3AL cars for competition. The competition versions of the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or maybe Corsa. A new lightweight riveted alloy body was designed in addition to built by Piero Drogo. It was an aggressively designed machine, oriented to endurance events. It uses normal ISO underpinnings but the engine was moved further back in the chassis frame as opposed to Grifo A3L, protruding well into your driver's cabin, fitted with hot cameras and fed by several big Weber carburettors, giving more than 400 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).
