The Iso Gordon GT prototype was created from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT has been designed in 1960 by simply Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the auto and was impressed by the powerful V8 Corvette engine and the rear De Dion tube used for the GT:'Rivolta had me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion tv and especially the Corvette serp. It was the first time I had driven a single. It was superior to help Ferrari's engines, having the same power but with a more immediate throttle answer. 'The Iso Rivolta GT had been a Giugiaro designed several seater with beautiful entire body, speed, comfort and handling, and was a effective car for ISO having 799 units sold.

The thought of 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 Corsa. A new lightweight riveted aluminum body was designed along with built by Piero Drogo. It was an boldy designed machine, oriented to endurance backrounds. It uses normal ISO underpinnings though the engine was moved further back the chassis frame versus Grifo A3L, protruding well into this driver's cabin, fitted with hot cams and fed by several big Weber carburettors, giving more than 300 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).
