Bizzarrini seemed to be fired by Ferrari during the "palace revolt" of 1961.

Serenissima.One of ATS's monetary backers, Count Giovanni Volpi, owner of Scuderia Serenissima, hired Bizzarrini to update a Ferrari 250 GT SWB, with chassis number #2819GT to be able to GTO specifications. This resulted in the particular Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo also called the "Breadvan".Bizzarrini's engineering company, Societa Autostar, was commissioned to design a V-12 engine for the GT car to always be built by another discontented Ferrari customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini.

Bizzarrini worked since 1964 for Iso Rivolta and formulated three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L along with A3C versions. His work was to formulate a pressed steel frame chassis for Iso autos. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant towards the Iso Gordon GT project which became the Iso Rivolta GT. The Iso Gordon GT prototype got its start from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT was designed in 1960 by Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the car or truck and was impressed by the powerful V8 Corvette engine and also the rear De Dion tube useful for the GT:'Rivolta had me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion tv and especially the Corvette motor. It was the first-time I had driven one. It was superior in order to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but with a more immediate throttle reply. 'The Iso Rivolta GT was a Giugiaro designed 4 seater with beautiful body, speed, comfort and handling, and was a productive car for ISO with 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine which has a classic De Dion raise suspension design with hard pressed steel monocoque bodywork over pressed steel frame framework. Unveiled to the mass media in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L had been a monstrous idea to get a super coupé, the L coming coming from Lusso. The result of the actual brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini working together, it was based on the shortened Iso Rivolta GT framework and was debuted in the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised the 1960s Italian style using its handsome low and vast handmade bodywork. It was the fastest production car tested by simply Autocar Magazine in 1966 that has a top speed of one hundred sixty mph (260 km/h). Later versions of the particular Grifo were powered by way of a big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) engine. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable through the raised "pagoda style" information bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri items were rebuilt later with a whole lot larger engines.

The concept of Bizzarrini was to utilize the 3AL cars for rivalry. The competition versions of the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or Corsa. A new lightweight riveted alloy body was designed along with 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 in the chassis frame compared to Grifo A3L, protruding well into the driver's cabin, fitted with hot cameras and fed by four big Weber carburettors, giving more than 500 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).

All around 29 A3C sport cars were built within the ISO name. Five of these 29 cars were bodied with plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo on Carrozzeria Sports Cars throughout Modena. A3Cs were widely ran. Some cars entered the actual 1964 and 1965 The Mans 24 hour, 1965 Nürburgring 1000 along with 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 from the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Immediately in both years.
