Bizzarrini Utes. p. A. was an Italian automotive manufacturer inside the 1960s founded by former Alfa Romeo, Ferrari and ISO electrical engineer, Giotto Bizzarrini. The company built a small number of highly developed and advanced sport and racing automobiles before failing in 1969. Notable models include the actual 5300 GT Strada and the P538S.Originally Prototipi Bizzarrini utes. r. l., the name was changed to Bizzarrini S. p. A. in 1966. The Bizzarrini marque has been revived with quite a few concept cars in the actual 2000s.Giotto Bizzarrini was created in Livorno, Italy in 1926. His father was some sort of rich landowner who got their start in a family with sturdy roots in Tuscany along with the city of Livorno. His grandfather, also named Giotto Bizzarrini, was a biologist who had caused Guglielmo Marconi on the inventions, especially the radio, following which one of the Livorno Library sections seemed to be named The Bizzarrini Selection.Bizzarrini graduated as an engineer in the University of Pisa within 1953. He taught briefly ahead of joining Alfa Romeo within 1954. He worked for Alfa Romeo by 1954 to 1957. He began working with regard to Ferrari in 1957, eventually becoming controller connected with experimental, Sports and GT car development.

Bizzarrini has been fired by Ferrari over the "palace revolt" of 1961. He became part involving Automobili Turismo e Game (ATS)), a company started from the ex-Ferrari engineers to create a Formula 1 single seater plus 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 enhance a Ferrari 250 GT SWB, with chassis number #2819GT to help GTO specifications. This resulted in your Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo also called the "Breadvan".Bizzarrini's engineering company, Societa Autostar, was commissioned to pattern a V-12 engine for the GT car to possibly be built by another discontented Ferrari customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini. Lamborghini considered the resulting engine being too highly strung, and ordered that that be detuned.

Bizzarrini worked since 1964 with regard to Iso Rivolta and designed three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L as well as A3C versions. His work was to build up a pressed steel body chassis for Iso cars. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant for the Iso Gordon GT task which became the Iso Rivolta GT. The Iso Gordon GT prototype got its start from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT seemed to be designed in 1960 simply by Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the car and was impressed by the powerful V8 Corvette engine and also the rear De Dion tube used for the GT:'Rivolta got me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion tube and especially the Corvette powerplant. It was the very first time I had driven a single. It was superior for you to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but having a more immediate throttle result. 'The Iso Rivolta GT ended up being a Giugiaro designed 4 seater with beautiful physique, speed, comfort and handling, and was a prosperous car for ISO using 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine with a classic De Dion back suspension design with pushed steel monocoque bodywork more than pressed steel frame chassis. Unveiled to the press in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L was a monstrous idea for just a super coupé, the L coming through Lusso. The result of your brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini doing work together, it was based on a shortened Iso Rivolta GT framework and was debuted for the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised your 1960s Italian style using its handsome low and large 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 the particular Grifo were powered by the big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) powerplant. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable with the raised "pagoda style" details 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 opposition. The competition versions with the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or even Corsa. A new lightweight riveted aluminium lightweight body was designed along with built by Piero Drogo. It was an aggressively designed machine, oriented to endurance races. It uses normal ISO underpinnings however the engine was moved further the government financial aid the chassis frame versus Grifo A3L, protruding well into the particular driver's cabin, fitted with hot cams and fed by several big Weber carburettors, giving more than 400 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).

All-around 29 A3C sport cars were built under the ISO name. Five of these up to 29 cars were bodied inside plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo at Carrozzeria Sports Cars throughout Modena. A3Cs were widely ran. Some cars entered the 1964 and 1965 The Mans 24 hour, 1965 Nürburgring 1000 and also 1965 Sebring. It achieved a The Mans class win in both years along with a 9th overall in 1965 without the need of factory support. A3Cs were one on the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Immediately in both years.
