Bizzarrini was fired by Ferrari through the "palace revolt" of 1961. He became part regarding Automobili Turismo e Hobby (ATS)), a company started by the ex-Ferrari engineers to make a Formula 1 single seater and a GT sport car, the A. T. S. Serenissima.One of ATS's personal backers, Count Giovanni Volpi, owner of Scuderia Serenissima, hired Bizzarrini to up grade a Ferrari 250 GT SWB, with chassis number #2819GT in order to GTO specifications. This resulted in the Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo also called the "Breadvan".Bizzarrini's engineering company, Societa Autostar, was commissioned to layout a V-12 engine for just a GT car to become built by another unhappy Ferrari customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini. Lamborghini considered the resulting engine being too highly strung, and ordered that the idea be detuned.

Bizzarrini worked since 1964 for Iso Rivolta and designed three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L and also A3C versions. His work was in order to develop a pressed steel frame chassis for Iso cars and trucks. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant for the Iso Gordon GT venture which became the Iso Rivolta GT. The Iso Gordon GT prototype got its start from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT ended up being designed in 1960 by Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the car and was impressed because of the powerful V8 Corvette engine and the rear De Dion tube useful for the GT:'Rivolta got me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion conduit and especially the Corvette engine. It was the very first time that I had driven just one. It was superior in order to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but which has a more immediate throttle result. 'The Iso Rivolta GT seemed to be a Giugiaro designed some seater with beautiful system, speed, comfort and handling, and was a profitable car for ISO with 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine with a classic De Dion raise suspension design with pushed steel monocoque bodywork around pressed steel frame chassis. Unveiled to the push in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L had been a monstrous idea for any super coupé, the L coming via Lusso. The result of the actual brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini functioning together, it was based on a shortened Iso Rivolta GT framework and was debuted with the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised this 1960s Italian style using its handsome low and wide handmade bodywork. It was the fastest production car tested through Autocar Magazine in 1966 having a top speed of 160 mph (260 km/h). Later versions of this Grifo were powered by the big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) engine. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable with the raised "pagoda style" info bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri products were rebuilt later with even bigger engines.

Thinking about Bizzarrini was to operate the 3AL cars for rivalry. The competition versions of the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione as well as Corsa. A new lightweight riveted aluminium lightweight body was designed in addition to built by Piero Drogo. It was an strongly designed machine, oriented to endurance backgrounds. It uses normal ISO underpinnings however the engine was moved further in the chassis frame as opposed to Grifo A3L, protruding well into the actual driver's cabin, fitted with hot cameras and fed by four big Weber carburettors, giving more than 300 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).

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