Bizzarrini Ohydrates. p. A. was an Italian automotive manufacturer within the 1960s founded by ex - Alfa Romeo, Ferrari and ISO electrical engineer, Giotto Bizzarrini. The company built limited highly developed and superior sport and racing autos before failing in 1969. Notable models include the 5300 GT Strada along with the P538S.Originally Prototipi Bizzarrini ersus. r. l., the name was improved to Bizzarrini S. p. A. in 1966. The Bizzarrini marque may be revived with a number of concept cars in the actual 2000s.Giotto Bizzarrini was given birth to in Livorno, Italy in 1926. His father was some sort of rich landowner who originated in a family with powerful roots in Tuscany as well as the city of Livorno. His grandfather, also named Giotto Bizzarrini, was a biologist who had caused Guglielmo Marconi on his / her inventions, especially the radio, following which one with the Livorno Library sections had been named The Bizzarrini Library.Bizzarrini graduated as an engineer inside the University of Pisa inside 1953. He taught briefly prior to joining Alfa Romeo inside 1954. He worked for Alfa Romeo by 1954 to 1957. He began working intended for Ferrari in 1957, eventually becoming controller connected with experimental, Sports and GT car development. He worked at Ferrari as being a developer, designer, test driver, and chief engineer for five years.

Bizzarrini has been fired by Ferrari during the "palace revolt" of 1961. He became part involving Automobili Turismo e Sports activity (ATS)), a company started from the ex-Ferrari engineers to produce a Formula 1 single seater along with a GT sport car, the A. T. S. Serenissima.One of ATS's financial backers, Count Giovanni Volpi, owner of Scuderia Serenissima, hired Bizzarrini to upgrade a Ferrari 250 GT SWB, with chassis number #2819GT to help GTO specifications. This resulted in the particular Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo also referred to as the "Breadvan".Bizzarrini's engineering company, Societa Autostar, was commissioned to style a V-12 engine for the GT car to always be built by another unhappy Ferrari customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini. Lamborghini considered the resulting engine to get too highly strung, and ordered that that be detuned.

Bizzarrini worked since 1964 for Iso Rivolta and designed three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L and A3C versions. His work was to formulate a pressed steel body chassis for Iso autos. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant to the Iso Gordon GT task 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 simply by Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the vehicle and was impressed from the powerful V8 Corvette engine as well as the rear De Dion tube used by the GT:'Rivolta received me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion tubing 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 which has a more immediate throttle reply. 'The Iso Rivolta GT ended up being a Giugiaro designed a number of 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 with a classic De Dion back suspension design with constrained steel monocoque bodywork in excess of pressed steel frame chassis. Unveiled to the media in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L has been a monstrous idea for a super coupé, the L coming via Lusso. The result of this brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini doing the job together, it was based on the shortened Iso Rivolta GT framework and was debuted for the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised your 1960s Italian style having its handsome low and large handmade bodywork. It was the fastest production car tested by means of Autocar Magazine in 1966 using a top speed of 160 mph (260 km/h). Later versions of the actual Grifo were powered by a big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) serp. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable through the raised "pagoda style" scoop bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri products were rebuilt later with even bigger engines.

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

About 29 A3C sport cars were built beneath the ISO name. Five of these 29 cars were bodied throughout plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo in Carrozzeria Sports Cars in Modena. A3Cs were widely competed. Some cars entered the 1964 and 1965 Le Mans 24 hour, 1965 Nürburgring 1000 and 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 of the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Right in both years.
