He became part regarding Automobili Turismo e Sports activity (ATS)), a company started with the ex-Ferrari engineers to build a Formula 1 single seater along with 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 update a Ferrari 250 GT SWB, with chassis number #2819GT to help GTO specifications. This resulted in your Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo generally known as the "Breadvan".Bizzarrini's engineering company, Societa Autostar, was commissioned to design a V-12 engine for any GT car to be built by another dissatisfied Ferrari customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini. Lamborghini considered the resulting engine to get too highly strung, and ordered that it be detuned.

Bizzarrini worked since 1964 intended for Iso Rivolta and designed three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L along with A3C versions. His work was to build up a pressed steel body chassis for Iso cars. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant towards Iso Gordon GT challenge which became the Iso Rivolta GT. The Iso Gordon GT prototype originated from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT seemed to be designed in 1960 simply by Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the auto and was impressed through the powerful V8 Corvette engine plus the rear De Dion tube useful for the GT:'Rivolta received me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion tv and especially the Corvette serps. It was the first time I had driven a single. It was superior to help Ferrari's engines, having the same power but with a more immediate throttle response. 'The Iso Rivolta GT seemed to be a Giugiaro designed several seater with beautiful body, speed, comfort and handling, and was a productive car for ISO using 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine which has a classic De Dion backside suspension design with constrained steel monocoque bodywork in excess of pressed steel frame framework. Unveiled to the media in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L has been a monstrous idea for a super coupé, the L coming through Lusso. The result of the particular brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini doing work together, it was based on a shortened Iso Rivolta GT chassis and was debuted in the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised the actual 1960s Italian style featuring a handsome low and vast handmade bodywork. It was the quickest production car tested simply by Autocar Magazine in 1966 which has a top speed of 160 mph (260 km/h). Later versions of the Grifo were powered by the big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) serps. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable because of the raised "pagoda style" information bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri products were rebuilt later with even bigger engines.

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 Corsa. A new lightweight riveted alloy body was designed along with built by Piero Drogo. It was an in a hostile manner designed machine, oriented to endurance backgrounds. It uses normal ISO underpinnings though the engine was moved further last the chassis frame compared to the Grifo A3L, protruding well into the particular driver's cabin, fitted with hot cameras and fed by four big Weber carburettors, giving more than 600 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).

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