Bizzarrini tested the vehicle and was impressed through the powerful V8 Corvette engine as well as the rear De Dion tube used by the GT:'Rivolta got me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion pipe and especially the Corvette serp. It was the very first time that I had driven just one. It was superior for you to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but that has a more immediate throttle response. 'The Iso Rivolta GT seemed to be a Giugiaro designed a number of seater with beautiful entire body, speed, comfort and handling, and was a profitable car for ISO using 799 units sold.

It uses normal ISO underpinnings however the engine was moved further back in the chassis frame than the Grifo A3L, protruding well into this driver's cabin, fitted with hot cams and fed by several big Weber carburettors, giving more than 500 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).
