Bizzarrini tested the automobile and was impressed through the powerful V8 Corvette engine and also the rear De Dion tube used for the GT:'Rivolta had me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion tube and especially the Corvette serp. It was the first-time I had driven a single. It was superior to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but having a more immediate throttle reply. 'The Iso Rivolta GT seemed to be a Giugiaro designed some seater with beautiful human body, speed, comfort and handling, and was a profitable car for ISO having 799 units sold.

The idea of Bizzarrini was to operate the 3AL cars for competitors. The competition versions from the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or perhaps Corsa. A new lightweight riveted aluminum body was designed in addition to built by Piero Drogo. It was an more boldly designed machine, oriented to endurance backgrounds. It uses normal ISO underpinnings though the engine was moved further back in the chassis frame as opposed to Grifo A3L, protruding well into the actual driver's cabin, fitted with hot cameras and fed by four big Weber carburettors, giving more than 400 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).
