Bizzarrini has been fired by Ferrari over the "palace revolt" of 1961. He became part of Automobili Turismo e Activity (ATS)), a company started through the ex-Ferrari engineers to develop a Formula 1 single seater and a GT sport car, the A. T. S. Serenissima.One of ATS's monetary backers, Count Giovanni Volpi, owner of Scuderia Serenissima, hired Bizzarrini to upgrade a Ferrari 250 GT SWB, with chassis number #2819GT for you to GTO specifications. This resulted in the actual Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo often known as the "Breadvan".Bizzarrini's engineering company, Societa Autostar, was commissioned to design and style a V-12 engine to get a GT car to be built by another disappointed Ferrari customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini. Lamborghini considered the resulting engine to be too highly strung, and ordered that that be detuned.

Bizzarrini worked since 1964 with regard to Iso Rivolta and created three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L and A3C versions. His work was in order to develop a pressed steel body chassis for Iso autos. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant to the Iso Gordon GT project which became the Iso Rivolta GT. The Iso Gordon GT prototype was developed from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT ended up being designed in 1960 by means of Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the car or truck and was impressed by the powerful V8 Corvette engine and also the rear De Dion tube used by the GT:'Rivolta received me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion pipe and especially the Corvette powerplant. It was the first time I had driven just one. It was superior to be able to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but that has a more immediate throttle result. 'The Iso Rivolta GT ended up being a Giugiaro designed four seater with beautiful body, speed, comfort and handling, and was a effective car for ISO along with 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine which has a classic De Dion backside suspension design with pushed steel monocoque bodywork around pressed steel frame chassis. Unveiled to the press in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L seemed to be a monstrous idea to get a super coupé, the L coming coming from Lusso. The result of the brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini doing work together, it was based with a shortened Iso Rivolta GT chassis and was debuted in the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised this 1960s Italian style with its handsome low and wide handmade bodywork. It was the most effective production car tested by simply Autocar Magazine in 1966 with a top speed of 160 mph (260 km/h). Later versions of this Grifo were powered by a big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) engine. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable with the raised "pagoda style" scoop bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri devices were rebuilt later with even bigger engines.

Thinking about Bizzarrini was to utilize the 3AL cars for rivalry. The competition versions on the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or Corsa. A new lightweight riveted alloy body was designed and also built by Piero Drogo. It was an in a hostile manner designed machine, oriented to endurance contests. It uses normal ISO underpinnings but the engine was moved further back in the chassis frame compared to the Grifo A3L, protruding well into the actual driver's cabin, fitted with hot cams and fed by a number of big Weber carburettors, giving more than 300 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).

Close to 29 A3C sport cars were built beneath ISO name. Five of these 30 cars were bodied throughout plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo from Carrozzeria Sports Cars inside Modena. A3Cs were widely raced. Some cars entered this 1964 and 1965 The Mans 24 hour, 1965 Nürburgring 1000 in addition to 1965 Sebring. It achieved a Le Mans class win in both years and a 9th overall in 1965 without factory support. A3Cs were one of the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Directly in both years.
