Bizzarrini Ersus. p. A. was an Italian automotive manufacturer inside the 1960s founded by past Alfa Romeo, Ferrari and ISO manufacture, Giotto Bizzarrini. The company built few highly developed and sophisticated sport and racing motor vehicles before failing in 1969. Notable models include this 5300 GT Strada plus the P538S.Originally Prototipi Bizzarrini ohydrates. r. l., the name was transformed to Bizzarrini S. p. A. in 1966. The Bizzarrini marque continues to be revived with a number of concept cars in the 2000s.Giotto Bizzarrini was created in Livorno, Italy in 1926. His father was the rich landowner who originated from a family with robust roots in Tuscany plus the city of Livorno. His grandfather, also named Giotto Bizzarrini, was a biologist who had worked with Guglielmo Marconi on his or her inventions, especially the radio, following which one from the Livorno Library sections ended up being named The Bizzarrini Library.Bizzarrini graduated as an engineer inside the University of Pisa within 1953. He taught briefly before joining Alfa Romeo inside 1954. He worked for Alfa Romeo coming from 1954 to 1957. He began working intended for Ferrari in 1957, eventually becoming controller regarding experimental, Sports and GT vehicle development. He worked at Ferrari to be a developer, designer, test driver, and chief engineer for five years. His developments there integrated the Ferrari 250 TR, the Ferrari 250 GT SWB (Brief Wheelbase Berlinetta or Berlinetta Passo Corto), and the 1962 Ferrari two hundred and fifty GTO.
Bizzarrini has been fired by Ferrari over the "palace revolt" of 1961. He became part of Automobili Turismo e Game (ATS)), a company started with the ex-Ferrari engineers to develop a Formula 1 single seater along with a GT sport car, the A. T. S. Serenissima.One of ATS's economic backers, Count Giovanni Volpi, owner of Scuderia Serenissima, hired Bizzarrini to update a Ferrari 250 GT SWB, with chassis number #2819GT to be able to GTO specifications. This resulted in the actual Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo also called the "Breadvan".Bizzarrini's engineering company, Societa Autostar, was commissioned to pattern a V-12 engine for any GT car to possibly be built by another not satisfied Ferrari customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini. Lamborghini considered the resulting engine being too highly strung, and ordered that that be detuned.
Bizzarrini worked since 1964 intended for Iso Rivolta and formulated three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L in addition to A3C versions. His work was to build up a pressed steel body chassis for Iso cars. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant towards the Iso Gordon GT venture which became the Iso Rivolta GT. The Iso Gordon GT prototype originated from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT seemed to be designed in 1960 by Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the car or truck and was impressed from the powerful V8 Corvette engine and the rear De Dion tube for the GT:'Rivolta got me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion tube and especially the Corvette serp. It was the new I had driven a single. 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 some seater with beautiful physique, speed, comfort and handling, and was a prosperous car for ISO with 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine that has a classic De Dion backed suspension design with pushed steel monocoque bodywork above pressed steel frame framework. Unveiled to the mass media in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L has been a monstrous idea for just a super coupé, the L coming via Lusso. The result of the actual brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini doing the job together, it was based on the shortened Iso Rivolta GT chassis and was debuted in the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised this 1960s Italian style using its handsome low and extensive handmade bodywork. It was the best production car tested by means of Autocar Magazine in 1966 having a top speed of one hundred sixty mph (260 km/h). Later versions of the Grifo were powered with a big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) engine. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable through the raised "pagoda style" scoop bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri devices were rebuilt later with a whole lot larger engines.

The idea of Bizzarrini was to utilize the 3AL cars for levels of competition. The competition versions from the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione as well as Corsa. A new lightweight riveted lightweight alloy body was designed and also built by Piero Drogo. It was an in a hostile manner designed machine, oriented to endurance backgrounds. It uses normal ISO underpinnings even so the engine was moved further back in the chassis frame than the Grifo A3L, protruding well into the particular driver's cabin, fitted with hot cameras and fed by a number of big Weber carburettors, giving more than 500 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).

All around 29 A3C sport cars were built beneath ISO name. Five of these up to 29 cars were bodied in plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo with Carrozzeria Sports Cars within Modena. A3Cs were widely raced. Some cars entered this 1964 and 1965 Le Mans 24 hour, 1965 Nürburgring 1000 and also 1965 Sebring. It achieved a Le Mans class win in both years along with a 9th overall in 1965 with no factory support. A3Cs were one from the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Straight in both years.
