Bizzarrini seemed to be fired by Ferrari over the "palace revolt" of 1961. He became part involving Automobili Turismo e Game (ATS)), a company started because of the ex-Ferrari engineers to make a Formula 1 single seater and also a GT sport car, the A. T. S. Serenissima.One of ATS's personal backers, Count Giovanni Volpi, owner of Scuderia Serenissima, hired Bizzarrini to up grade a Ferrari 250 GT SWB, with chassis number #2819GT for you to GTO specifications. This resulted in this Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo also known as the "Breadvan".Bizzarrini's engineering company, Societa Autostar, was commissioned to pattern a V-12 engine to get a GT car to end up being built by another discontented Ferrari customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini. Lamborghini considered the resulting engine for being too highly strung, and ordered that it be detuned.

Bizzarrini worked since 1964 intended for Iso Rivolta and created three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L and also A3C versions. His work was to produce a pressed steel body chassis for Iso vehicles. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant to the Iso Gordon GT task 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 simply by Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the car and was impressed from the powerful V8 Corvette engine plus the rear De Dion tube for the GT:'Rivolta acquired me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion pipe and especially the Corvette motor. It was the first-time I had driven just one. It was superior to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but having a more immediate throttle result. 'The Iso Rivolta GT seemed to be a Giugiaro designed some seater with beautiful system, speed, comfort and handling, and was a profitable car for ISO together with 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine having a classic De Dion rear suspension design with hard pressed steel monocoque bodywork around pressed steel frame framework. Unveiled to the press in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L had been a monstrous idea for any super coupé, the L coming via Lusso. The result of this brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini operating together, it was based over a shortened Iso Rivolta GT framework and was debuted in the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised the particular 1960s Italian style using its handsome low and large handmade bodywork. It was the speediest production car tested simply by 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) serp. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable with the raised "pagoda style" scoop bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri units were rebuilt later with a great deal larger engines.

The idea of Bizzarrini was to utilize 3AL cars for competitors. The competition versions with the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or Corsa. A new lightweight riveted aluminium body was designed and also built by Piero Drogo. It was an boldy designed machine, oriented to endurance contests. It uses normal ISO underpinnings even so the engine was moved further back in the chassis frame compared to the Grifo A3L, protruding well into the actual driver's cabin, fitted with hot cameras and fed by four big Weber carburettors, giving more than 600 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).

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