Bizzarrini Utes. p. A. was an Italian automotive manufacturer from the 1960s founded by past Alfa Romeo, Ferrari and ISO electrical engineer, Giotto Bizzarrini. The company built limited highly developed and advanced sport and racing autos before failing in 1969. Notable models include your 5300 GT Strada along with the P538S.Originally Prototipi Bizzarrini s. r. l., the name was modified to Bizzarrini S. p. A. in 1966. The Bizzarrini marque continues to be revived with many concept cars in the particular 2000s.Giotto Bizzarrini was born in Livorno, Italy in 1926. His father was the rich landowner who originated a family with solid roots in Tuscany along with the city of Livorno. His grandfather, also named Giotto Bizzarrini, was a biologist who had caused Guglielmo Marconi on their inventions, especially the radio, following which one from the Livorno Library sections was named The Bizzarrini Catalogue.Bizzarrini graduated as an engineer from the University of Pisa with 1953. He taught briefly before joining Alfa Romeo throughout 1954. He worked for Alfa Romeo through 1954 to 1957. He began working for Ferrari in 1957, eventually becoming controller involving experimental, Sports and GT car development. He worked at Ferrari being a developer, designer, test driver, and chief engineer intended for five years. His developments there included the Ferrari 250 TR, the Ferrari 250 GT SWB (Small Wheelbase Berlinetta or Berlinetta Passo Corto), and the 1962 Ferrari 400 GTO.

Bizzarrini seemed to be fired by Ferrari throughout the "palace revolt" of 1961. He became part connected with Automobili Turismo e Game (ATS)), a company started with 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 financial backers, Count Giovanni Volpi, owner of Scuderia Serenissima, hired Bizzarrini to update a Ferrari 250 GT SWB, with chassis number #2819GT in order to GTO specifications. This resulted in this Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo often known as the "Breadvan".Bizzarrini's engineering company, Societa Autostar, was commissioned to design a V-12 engine for a GT car to be built by another unhappy Ferrari customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini. Lamborghini considered the resulting engine to be too highly strung, and ordered that it be detuned.

Bizzarrini worked since 1964 intended for Iso Rivolta and formulated three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L as well as A3C versions. His work was to formulate a pressed steel frame chassis for Iso autos. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant to the Iso Gordon GT task which became the Iso Rivolta GT. The Iso Gordon GT prototype originated from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT ended up being designed in 1960 through Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the vehicle and was impressed from the powerful V8 Corvette engine as well as the rear De Dion tube used for the GT:'Rivolta had me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion tv and especially the Corvette serp. It was the very first time that I had driven one particular. It was superior to be able to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but which has a more immediate throttle answer. 'The Iso Rivolta GT had been a Giugiaro designed a number of seater with beautiful system, speed, comfort and handling, and was a profitable car for ISO along with 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine that has a classic De Dion backed suspension design with constrained steel monocoque bodywork more than pressed steel frame chassis. Unveiled to the push in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L has been a monstrous idea for any super coupé, the L coming via Lusso. The result of the actual brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini operating together, it was based on the shortened Iso Rivolta GT framework and was debuted for the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised the 1960s Italian style using its handsome low and extensive handmade bodywork. It was the speediest production car tested through Autocar Magazine in 1966 having a top speed of 160 mph (260 km/h). Later versions of this Grifo were powered by the big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) motor. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable by the raised "pagoda style" scoop bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri items were rebuilt later with a great deal larger engines.
The idea of Bizzarrini was to make use of the 3AL cars for levels of competition. The competition versions in the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or perhaps Corsa. A new lightweight riveted aluminium body was designed in addition to built by Piero Drogo. It was an in a hostile manner designed machine, oriented to endurance events. It uses normal ISO underpinnings though the engine was moved further in the chassis frame versus Grifo A3L, protruding well into the particular driver's cabin, fitted with hot cameras and fed by four big Weber carburettors, giving more than 400 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).

Around 29 A3C sport cars were built beneath ISO name. Five of these 28 cars were bodied within plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo from Carrozzeria Sports Cars within Modena. A3Cs were widely raced. Some cars entered the actual 1964 and 1965 Le Mans 24 hour, 1965 Nürburgring 1000 and also 1965 Sebring. It achieved a The Mans class win in both years plus a 9th overall in 1965 without factory support. A3Cs were one from the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Immediately in both years.
