Bizzarrini Utes. p. A. was an Italian automotive manufacturer in the 1960s founded by ex- Alfa Romeo, Ferrari and ISO manufacture, Giotto Bizzarrini. The company built only a few highly developed and sophisticated sport and racing cars before failing in 1969. Notable models include your 5300 GT Strada and the P538S.Originally Prototipi Bizzarrini s. r. l., the name was altered to Bizzarrini S. p. A. in 1966. The Bizzarrini marque may be revived with quite a few concept cars in the actual 2000s.Giotto Bizzarrini was born in Livorno, Italy in 1926. His father was the rich landowner who originated a family with robust roots in Tuscany as well as the city of Livorno. His grandfather, also named Giotto Bizzarrini, was a biologist who had worked with Guglielmo Marconi on his inventions, especially the radio, following which one of the Livorno Library sections has been named The Bizzarrini Catalogue.Bizzarrini graduated as an engineer within the University of Pisa throughout 1953. He taught briefly ahead of joining Alfa Romeo in 1954. He worked for Alfa Romeo through 1954 to 1957. He began working with regard to Ferrari in 1957, eventually becoming controller regarding experimental, Sports and GT car or truck development. He worked at Ferrari to be a developer, designer, test driver, and chief engineer with regard to five years.

Bizzarrini seemed to be fired by Ferrari throughout the "palace revolt" of 1961. He became part of Automobili Turismo e Sports activity (ATS)), a company started through the ex-Ferrari engineers to develop a Formula 1 single seater plus 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 in order to GTO specifications. This resulted in the Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo also known as the "Breadvan".Bizzarrini's engineering company, Societa Autostar, was commissioned to style a V-12 engine for a GT car to always be built by another discontented Ferrari customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini. Lamborghini considered the resulting engine to be too highly strung, and ordered that that be detuned.

Bizzarrini worked since 1964 regarding Iso Rivolta and formulated three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L along with A3C versions. His work was to produce a pressed steel figure chassis for Iso autos. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant towards the Iso Gordon GT venture which became the Iso Rivolta GT. The Iso Gordon GT prototype was made from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT ended up being designed in 1960 through Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the auto and was impressed by the powerful V8 Corvette engine plus the rear De Dion tube employed for the GT:'Rivolta experienced me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion pipe and especially the Corvette engine. It was the very first time I had driven one particular. It was superior for you to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but using a more immediate throttle reply. 'The Iso Rivolta GT seemed to be a Giugiaro designed some seater with beautiful physique, speed, comfort and handling, and was a productive car for ISO with 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine having a classic De Dion backside suspension design with forced steel monocoque bodywork above pressed steel frame framework. Unveiled to the media in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L seemed to be a monstrous idea for any super coupé, the L coming from Lusso. The result of the actual brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini working together, it was based on a shortened Iso Rivolta GT chassis and was debuted at the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised your 1960s Italian style using its handsome low and wide handmade bodywork. It was the fastest production car tested simply by Autocar Magazine in 1966 that has a top speed of 160 mph (260 km/h). Later versions of the actual Grifo were powered by way of a big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) powerplant. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable because of the raised "pagoda style" deal bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri models were rebuilt later with even bigger engines.
The thinking behind Bizzarrini was to operate the 3AL cars for competitors. The competition versions in the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or even Corsa. A new lightweight riveted aluminium body was designed and built by Piero Drogo. It was an boldy designed machine, oriented to endurance backrounds. It uses normal ISO underpinnings though the engine was moved further back in the chassis frame compared to Grifo A3L, protruding well into this driver's cabin, fitted with hot cams and fed by some big Weber carburettors, giving more than 400 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).
1967. In 1999 it was restored to the original state when it was first
About 29 A3C sport cars were built beneath the ISO name. Five of these 30 cars were bodied within plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo at Carrozzeria Sports Cars throughout Modena. A3Cs were widely raced. Some cars entered your 1964 and 1965 The Mans 24 hour, 1965 Nürburgring 1000 as well as 1965 Sebring. It achieved a Le Mans class win in both years and a 9th overall in 1965 without factory support. A3Cs were one with the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Immediately in both years.
