Bizzarrini Utes. p. A. was an Italian automotive manufacturer within the 1960s founded by ex - Alfa Romeo, Ferrari and ISO electrical engineer, Giotto Bizzarrini. The company built a small amount of highly developed and innovative sport and racing autos before failing in 1969. Notable models include your 5300 GT Strada along with the P538S.Originally Prototipi Bizzarrini azines. r. l., the name was modified to Bizzarrini S. p. A. in 1966. The Bizzarrini marque have been revived with many concept cars in this 2000s.Giotto Bizzarrini was delivered in Livorno, Italy in 1926. His father was a new rich landowner who originated in a family with robust roots in Tuscany along with the city of Livorno.

Bizzarrini has been fired by Ferrari through the "palace revolt" of 1961. He became part of Automobili Turismo e Game (ATS)), a company started by the ex-Ferrari engineers to produce a Formula 1 single seater and 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 up grade a Ferrari 250 GT SWB, with chassis number #2819GT in order to GTO specifications. This resulted in the Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo also referred to as the "Breadvan".Bizzarrini's engineering company, Societa Autostar, was commissioned to design and style a V-12 engine for just a GT car to be built by another dissatisfied Ferrari customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini. Lamborghini considered the resulting engine to get too highly strung, and ordered that it be detuned.
Bizzarrini worked since 1964 intended for Iso Rivolta and produced three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L as well as A3C versions. His work was to formulate a pressed steel figure chassis for Iso autos. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant on the Iso Gordon GT challenge which became the Iso Rivolta GT. The Iso Gordon GT prototype was made from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT had been designed in 1960 by means of Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the automobile and was impressed from the powerful V8 Corvette engine as well as the rear De Dion tube useful for the GT:'Rivolta received me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion conduit and especially the Corvette motor. It was the very first time I had driven one. It was superior to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but which has a more immediate throttle reply. 'The Iso Rivolta GT ended up being a Giugiaro designed several seater with beautiful physique, speed, comfort and handling, and was a profitable car for ISO using 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine having a classic De Dion raise suspension design with pressed steel monocoque bodywork over 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 coming from Lusso. The result of the actual brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini functioning together, it was based on the shortened Iso Rivolta GT chassis and was debuted with the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised your 1960s Italian style which consists of handsome low and wide handmade bodywork. It was the most effective production car tested by Autocar Magazine in 1966 with a top speed of 160 mph (260 km/h). Later versions of this Grifo were powered by a big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) serps. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable by the raised "pagoda style" scoop bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri units were rebuilt later with a great deal larger engines.

Thinking about Bizzarrini was to operate the 3AL cars for competition. The competition versions of the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or even Corsa. A new lightweight riveted aluminium lightweight body was designed as well as built by Piero Drogo. It was an in a hostile manner designed machine, oriented to endurance races. It uses normal ISO underpinnings but the engine was moved further the government financial aid the chassis frame compared to Grifo A3L, protruding well into the particular driver's cabin, fitted with hot cams and fed by 4 big Weber carburettors, giving more than 500 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).

About 29 A3C sport cars were built under the ISO name. Five of these twenty nine cars were bodied with plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo on Carrozzeria Sports Cars within Modena. A3Cs were widely raced. Some cars entered the particular 1964 and 1965 Le Mans 24 hour, 1965 Nürburgring 1000 and 1965 Sebring. It achieved a Le Mans class win in both years and a 9th overall in 1965 without having factory support. A3Cs were one on the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Right in both years.
