The idea of Bizzarrini was to utilize the 3AL cars for competition. The competition versions on the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or maybe Corsa. A new lightweight riveted lightweight alloy body was designed as well as 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 than the Grifo A3L, protruding well into this driver's cabin, fitted with hot cameras and fed by a number of big Weber carburettors, giving more than 500 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).
