Bizzarrini was fired by Ferrari over the "palace revolt" of 1961. He became part regarding Automobili Turismo e Sports activity (ATS)), a company started with the ex-Ferrari engineers to produce a Formula 1 single seater as well as 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 enhance a Ferrari 250 GT SWB, with chassis number #2819GT to GTO specifications. This resulted in your Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo also called the "Breadvan".Bizzarrini's engineering company, Societa Autostar, was commissioned to design a V-12 engine for any GT car to always be built by another unhappy Ferrari customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini. Lamborghini considered the resulting engine to become too highly strung, and ordered that the idea be detuned.

Bizzarrini worked since 1964 intended for Iso Rivolta and produced three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L as well as A3C versions. His work was in order to develop a pressed steel shape chassis for Iso automobiles. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant on the Iso Gordon GT challenge 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 automobile and was impressed by the powerful V8 Corvette engine and the rear De Dion tube used for the GT:'Rivolta experienced me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion tube and especially the Corvette engine. It was the first-time I had driven one. It was superior to be able to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but which has a more immediate throttle response. 'The Iso Rivolta GT seemed to be a Giugiaro designed some seater with beautiful body, 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 rear suspension design with hard pressed steel monocoque bodywork above pressed steel frame framework. Unveiled to the mass media in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L has been a monstrous idea for just a super coupé, the L coming from Lusso. The result of the brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini operating together, it was based over a shortened Iso Rivolta GT framework and was debuted at the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised the actual 1960s Italian style using its handsome low and extensive handmade bodywork. It was the most effective production car tested through Autocar Magazine in 1966 using a top speed of one hundred sixty mph (260 km/h). Later versions of your Grifo were powered by the big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) engine. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable because of the raised "pagoda style" details bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri items were rebuilt later with a great deal larger engines.

The thought of Bizzarrini was to make use of the 3AL cars for opposition. The competition versions of the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or Corsa. A new lightweight riveted lightweight alloy body was designed and also built by Piero Drogo. It was an boldy designed machine, oriented to endurance races. It uses normal ISO underpinnings even so the engine was moved further in the chassis frame versus Grifo A3L, protruding well into the driver's cabin, fitted with hot cameras and fed by four big Weber carburettors, giving more than 400 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).

All-around 29 A3C sport cars were built beneath the ISO name. Five of these twenty nine cars were bodied with plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo at Carrozzeria Sports Cars within Modena.
