Bizzarrini S. p. A. was an Italian automotive manufacturer within the 1960s founded by former Alfa Romeo, Ferrari and ISO engineer, Giotto Bizzarrini. The company built only a few highly developed and sophisticated sport and racing autos before failing in 1969. Notable models include this 5300 GT Strada plus the P538S.Originally Prototipi Bizzarrini utes. r. l., the name was altered to Bizzarrini S. p. A. in 1966. The Bizzarrini marque has become revived with a number of concept cars in the 2000s.Giotto Bizzarrini was given birth to in Livorno, Italy in 1926. His father was a new rich landowner who originated a family with solid roots in Tuscany and also the city of Livorno. His grandfather, also named Giotto Bizzarrini, was a biologist who had worked with Guglielmo Marconi on their inventions, especially the radio, following which one from the Livorno Library sections ended up being named The Bizzarrini Selection.Bizzarrini graduated as an engineer within the University of Pisa with 1953. He taught briefly previous to joining Alfa Romeo within 1954. He worked for Alfa Romeo via 1954 to 1957. He began working intended for Ferrari in 1957, eventually becoming controller involving experimental, Sports and GT car development.

Bizzarrini was fired by Ferrari in the "palace revolt" of 1961. He became part associated with Automobili Turismo e Game (ATS)), a company started through the ex-Ferrari engineers to develop 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 update a Ferrari 250 GT SWB, with chassis number #2819GT to help GTO specifications. This resulted in the actual 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 any GT car to end up being built by another not satisfied Ferrari customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini. Lamborghini considered the resulting engine to become too highly strung, and ordered that the idea be detuned.

Bizzarrini worked since 1964 pertaining to Iso Rivolta and developed three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L in addition to A3C versions. His work was in order to develop a pressed steel framework chassis for Iso vehicles. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant to the Iso Gordon GT undertaking which became the Iso Rivolta GT. The Iso Gordon GT prototype got its start from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT seemed to be designed in 1960 by means of Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the car and was impressed from the powerful V8 Corvette engine and also the rear De Dion tube for the GT:'Rivolta got me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion tv and especially the Corvette serp. It was the very first time that I had driven a single. It was superior in order to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but having a more immediate throttle result. 'The Iso Rivolta GT had been a Giugiaro designed some seater with beautiful body, speed, comfort and handling, and was a prosperous car for ISO using 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine having a classic De Dion backed suspension design with pushed steel monocoque bodywork above pressed steel frame chassis. Unveiled to the media in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L ended up being a monstrous idea for the super coupé, the L coming from Lusso. The result of the particular brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini operating together, it was based on a shortened Iso Rivolta GT framework and was debuted at the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised the 1960s Italian style featuring a handsome low and vast handmade bodywork. It was the speediest production car tested by means of Autocar Magazine in 1966 that has a top speed of 160 mph (260 km/h). Later versions of the actual Grifo were powered with a big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) powerplant. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable from the raised "pagoda style" deal bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri units were rebuilt later with a whole lot larger engines.

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

All-around 29 A3C sport cars were built underneath the ISO name. Five of these twenty nine cars were bodied within plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo at Carrozzeria Sports Cars with Modena. A3Cs were widely competed. Some cars entered the actual 1964 and 1965 The Mans 24 hour, 1965 Nürburgring 1000 as well as 1965 Sebring. It achieved a The Mans class win in both years as well as a 9th overall in 1965 without having factory support. A3Cs were one with the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Directly in both years.
