Bizzarrini Azines. p. A. was an Italian automotive manufacturer in the 1960s founded by former Alfa Romeo, Ferrari and ISO industrial engineer, Giotto Bizzarrini. The company built few highly developed and advanced sport and racing motor vehicles before failing in 1969. Notable models include your 5300 GT Strada along with the P538S.Originally Prototipi Bizzarrini s. r. l., the name was modified to Bizzarrini S. p. A. in 1966. The Bizzarrini marque continues to be revived with many concept cars in the 2000s.Giotto Bizzarrini was blessed in Livorno, Italy in 1926. His father was a rich landowner who got their start in a family with powerful roots in Tuscany along with the city of Livorno. His grandfather, also named Giotto Bizzarrini, was a biologist who had worked with Guglielmo Marconi on his inventions, especially the radio, following which one on the Livorno Library sections ended up being named The Bizzarrini Collection.Bizzarrini graduated as an engineer within the University of Pisa with 1953. He taught briefly before joining Alfa Romeo within 1954. He worked for Alfa Romeo from 1954 to 1957. He began working for Ferrari in 1957, eventually becoming controller of experimental, Sports and GT car development. He worked at Ferrari to be a developer, designer, test driver, and chief engineer regarding five years. His developments there integrated the Ferrari 250 TR, the Ferrari 250 GT SWB (Short Wheelbase Berlinetta or Berlinetta Passo Corto), and the 1962 Ferrari two hundred and fifty GTO.

Bizzarrini seemed to be fired by Ferrari in the "palace revolt" of 1961. He became part involving Automobili Turismo e Sport (ATS)), a company started from the ex-Ferrari engineers to make a Formula 1 single seater and also a GT sport car, the A. T. S. Serenissima.One of ATS's financial backers, Count Giovanni Volpi, owner of Scuderia Serenissima, hired Bizzarrini to improve a Ferrari 250 GT SWB, with chassis number #2819GT to help GTO specifications. This resulted in the actual Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo also known as the "Breadvan".Bizzarrini's engineering company, Societa Autostar, was commissioned to pattern a V-12 engine for any GT car to possibly be built by another unhappy Ferrari customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini. Lamborghini considered the resulting engine for being too highly strung, and ordered that the idea be detuned.

Bizzarrini worked since 1964 intended for Iso Rivolta and designed three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L as well as A3C versions. His work was to formulate a pressed steel framework chassis for Iso cars. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant on the Iso Gordon GT venture which became the Iso Rivolta GT. The Iso Gordon GT prototype was developed from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT has been designed in 1960 through Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the car or truck and was impressed through the powerful V8 Corvette engine along with the rear De Dion tube employed for the GT:'Rivolta had me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion tube and especially the Corvette serp. It was the new I had driven one. It was superior to help Ferrari's engines, having the same power but using a more immediate throttle result. 'The Iso Rivolta GT ended up being a Giugiaro designed some seater with beautiful body, speed, comfort and handling, and was a effective car for ISO together with 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine using a classic De Dion raise suspension design with hard pressed steel monocoque bodywork more than pressed steel frame framework. Unveiled to the media in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L had been a monstrous idea for any super coupé, the L coming from Lusso. The result of the actual brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini doing work together, it was based on the shortened Iso Rivolta GT framework and was debuted with the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised the particular 1960s Italian style using its handsome low and broad handmade bodywork. It was the fastest production car tested by Autocar Magazine in 1966 with a top speed of 160 mph (260 km/h). Later versions of this Grifo were powered by way of big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) motor. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable with the raised "pagoda style" scoop bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri units were rebuilt later with a whole lot larger engines.
The concept of Bizzarrini was to make use of the 3AL cars for levels of competition. The competition versions of the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or even Corsa. A new lightweight riveted aluminium lightweight body was designed as well as built by Piero Drogo. It was an boldy designed machine, oriented to endurance contests. It uses normal ISO underpinnings however the engine was moved further the government financial aid the chassis frame versus Grifo A3L, protruding well into this driver's cabin, fitted with hot cameras and fed by several big Weber carburettors, giving more than 400 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).

All around 29 A3C sport cars were built beneath the ISO name. Five of these twenty nine cars were bodied in plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo at Carrozzeria Sports Cars in Modena. A3Cs were widely ran. Some cars entered the 1964 and 1965 The Mans 24 hour, 1965 Nürburgring 1000 and 1965 Sebring. It achieved a The Mans class win in both years as well as a 9th overall in 1965 without having factory support. A3Cs were one in the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Right in both years.
