The Bizzarrini marque has been revived with many concept cars in the 2000s.Giotto Bizzarrini was given birth to in Livorno, Italy in 1926. His father was a new rich landowner who originated a family with solid roots in Tuscany as well as the city of Livorno.

Bizzarrini has been fired by Ferrari during the "palace revolt" of 1961. He became part connected with Automobili Turismo e Game (ATS)), a company started from the ex-Ferrari engineers to create 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. This resulted in your 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 for a GT car to always be built by another disappointed Ferrari customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini. Lamborghini considered the resulting engine for being too highly strung, and ordered that this be detuned.

Bizzarrini worked since 1964 with regard to Iso Rivolta and formulated three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L and A3C versions. His work was to formulate a pressed steel framework chassis for Iso vehicles. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant on the Iso Gordon GT venture 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 auto and was impressed through the powerful V8 Corvette engine along with the rear De Dion tube used for the GT:'Rivolta received me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion pipe and especially the Corvette powerplant. It was the new I had driven one. It was superior for you to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but with a more immediate throttle reply. 'The Iso Rivolta GT had been a Giugiaro designed some seater with beautiful physique, speed, comfort and handling, and was a successful car for ISO with 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine using a classic De Dion rear suspension design with constrained steel monocoque bodywork over pressed steel frame chassis. Unveiled to the media in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L was a monstrous idea for any super coupé, the L coming by Lusso. The result of the particular brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini functioning together, it was based on a shortened Iso Rivolta GT framework and was debuted at the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised the 1960s Italian style having its handsome low and extensive handmade bodywork. It was the speediest production car tested by means of Autocar Magazine in 1966 using a top speed of 160 mph (260 km/h). Later versions of the actual Grifo were powered by the big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) powerplant. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable with the raised "pagoda style" info bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri products were rebuilt later with even bigger engines.

The concept of Bizzarrini was to use the 3AL cars for opposition. The competition versions on the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or even Corsa. A new lightweight riveted aluminum body was designed as well as built by Piero Drogo. It was an strongly designed machine, oriented to endurance backrounds. It uses normal ISO underpinnings though the engine was moved further last the chassis frame as opposed to Grifo A3L, protruding well into your driver's cabin, fitted with hot cams 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 28 cars were bodied throughout plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo at Carrozzeria Sports Cars with Modena. A3Cs were widely ran. Some cars entered your 1964 and 1965 The Mans 24 hour, 1965 Nürburgring 1000 and 1965 Sebring. It achieved a Le Mans class win in both years as well as a 9th overall in 1965 without having factory support. A3Cs were one on the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Right in both years.
