The Iso Gordon GT prototype originated from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT was designed in 1960 through Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the automobile and was impressed with the powerful V8 Corvette engine and also the rear De Dion tube useful for the GT:'Rivolta received me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion tube and especially the Corvette engine. It was the new I had driven one. It was superior to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but with a more immediate throttle reply.

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