Bizzarrini seemed to be fired by Ferrari during the "palace revolt" of 1961. He became part connected with Automobili Turismo e Hobby (ATS)), a company started from the ex-Ferrari engineers to develop a Formula 1 single seater and also 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 for you to GTO specifications.

Bizzarrini worked since 1964 for Iso Rivolta and produced three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L and also A3C versions. His work was in order to develop a pressed steel body chassis for Iso cars. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant for the Iso Gordon GT challenge which became the Iso Rivolta GT. The Iso Gordon GT prototype was made from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT seemed to be designed in 1960 by simply Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the car or truck and was impressed by the powerful V8 Corvette engine as well as the rear De Dion tube used for the GT:'Rivolta got me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion pipe and especially the Corvette serp. It was the first time I had driven just one. It was superior in order to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but that has a more immediate throttle result. 'The Iso Rivolta GT seemed to be a Giugiaro designed four seater with beautiful system, speed, comfort and handling, and was a successful car for ISO together with 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine with a classic De Dion backed suspension design with constrained steel monocoque bodywork more than pressed steel frame framework. Unveiled to the mass media in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L was a monstrous idea to get a super coupé, the L coming through Lusso. The result of this brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini operating together, it was based using a shortened Iso Rivolta GT chassis and was debuted in the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised the particular 1960s Italian style using its handsome low and large handmade bodywork. It was the quickest production car tested through Autocar Magazine in 1966 using a top speed of one hundred sixty mph (260 km/h). Later versions of the Grifo were powered by way of a big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) serp. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable by the raised "pagoda style" scoop bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri models were rebuilt later with a whole lot larger engines.

Thinking about Bizzarrini was to utilize 3AL cars for opposition. The competition versions from the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione as well as Corsa. A new lightweight riveted aluminium body was designed and built by Piero Drogo. It was an more boldly designed machine, oriented to endurance contests. It uses normal ISO underpinnings but the engine was moved further last the chassis frame compared to the Grifo A3L, protruding well into the actual driver's cabin, fitted with hot cameras and fed by several big Weber carburettors, giving more than 500 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).
All-around 29 A3C sport cars were built within the ISO name. Five of these 30 cars were bodied inside plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo with Carrozzeria Sports Cars within Modena. A3Cs were widely raced. Some cars entered the actual 1964 and 1965 The Mans 24 hour, 1965 Nürburgring 1000 and also 1965 Sebring. It achieved a Le Mans class win in both years and a 9th overall in 1965 without the need of factory support. A3Cs were one of the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Directly in both years.
