Bizzarrini worked since 1964 intended for Iso Rivolta and designed three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L and also A3C versions. His work was in order to develop a pressed steel frame chassis for Iso vehicles. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant on the Iso Gordon GT undertaking which became the Iso Rivolta GT. The Iso Gordon GT prototype was developed from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT had been designed in 1960 by means of Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the auto and was impressed from the powerful V8 Corvette engine as well as the rear De Dion tube used for the GT:'Rivolta received me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion tubing and especially the Corvette engine. It was the very first time that I had driven just one. It was superior to help Ferrari's engines, having the same power but having a more immediate throttle answer. 'The Iso Rivolta GT was a Giugiaro designed several seater with beautiful entire body, speed, comfort and handling, and was a productive car for ISO along with 799 units sold.

The Grifo epitomised your 1960s Italian style with its handsome low and vast handmade bodywork. It was the quickest production car tested by simply Autocar Magazine in 1966 with a top speed of one hundred sixty mph (260 km/h). Later versions of your Grifo were powered by a big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) serp. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable by the raised "pagoda style" deal bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri units were rebuilt later with a whole lot larger engines.

The concept of Bizzarrini was to operate the 3AL cars for levels of competition. The competition versions in the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or maybe Corsa. A new lightweight riveted alloy body was designed and also built by Piero Drogo. It was an boldy designed machine, oriented to endurance contests. It uses normal ISO underpinnings but the engine was moved further last the chassis frame than the Grifo A3L, protruding well into the driver's cabin, fitted with hot cams and fed by some big Weber carburettors, giving more than 400 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).
