The Iso Gordon GT prototype originated from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT has been designed in 1960 by means of Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the car and was impressed by the powerful V8 Corvette engine along with the rear De Dion tube useful for the GT:'Rivolta received me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion pipe and especially the Corvette serps. It was the very first time that I had driven one.

A new lightweight riveted aluminum body was designed as well as built by Piero Drogo. It was an in a hostile manner designed machine, oriented to endurance races. It uses normal ISO underpinnings but the engine was moved further last the chassis frame as opposed to Grifo A3L, protruding well into this driver's cabin, fitted with hot cams and fed by 4 big Weber carburettors, giving more than 400 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).
