This resulted in the particular Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo also known as the "Breadvan".Bizzarrini's engineering company, Societa Autostar, was commissioned to design and style a V-12 engine to get a GT car to possibly be built by another discontented Ferrari customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini. Lamborghini considered the resulting engine to become too highly strung, and ordered that this be detuned.

Bizzarrini worked since 1964 with regard to Iso Rivolta and produced three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L in addition to A3C versions. His work was to produce a pressed steel frame chassis for Iso automobiles. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant to the Iso Gordon GT challenge which became the Iso Rivolta GT. The Iso Gordon GT prototype was made from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT ended up being designed in 1960 through Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the auto and was impressed through the powerful V8 Corvette engine along with the rear De Dion tube for the GT:'Rivolta had me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion pipe and especially the Corvette powerplant. It was the very first time I had driven 1. It was superior for you to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but using a more immediate throttle result. 'The Iso Rivolta GT had been a Giugiaro designed four seater with beautiful human body, speed, comfort and handling, and was a successful car for ISO with 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine with a classic De Dion back suspension design with pushed steel monocoque bodywork around pressed steel frame chassis. Unveiled to the press in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L was a monstrous idea for the super coupé, the L coming through Lusso. The result of the actual brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini functioning together, it was based with a shortened Iso Rivolta GT chassis and was debuted for the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised this 1960s Italian style having its handsome low and extensive handmade bodywork. It was the quickest production car tested by Autocar Magazine in 1966 with a top speed of 160 mph (260 km/h). Later versions of the Grifo were powered by way of a big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) serp. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable because of the raised "pagoda style" info bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri items were rebuilt later with even bigger engines.

The idea of 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 perhaps Corsa. A new lightweight riveted aluminium lightweight body was designed and also built by Piero Drogo. It was an more boldly designed machine, oriented to endurance races. It uses normal ISO underpinnings however 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 some big Weber carburettors, giving more than 600 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).

All around 29 A3C sport cars were built within the ISO name. Five of these 30 cars were bodied within plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo from Carrozzeria Sports Cars throughout Modena. A3Cs were widely raced. Some cars entered this 1964 and 1965 The Mans 24 hour, 1965 Nürburgring 1000 in addition to 1965 Sebring. It achieved a Le Mans class win in both years along with a 9th overall in 1965 without any factory support. A3Cs were one from the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Right in both years.
