His work was to develop a pressed steel frame chassis for Iso cars and trucks. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant towards the Iso Gordon GT undertaking which became the Iso Rivolta GT. The Iso Gordon GT prototype was created from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT seemed to be designed in 1960 by simply Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the car and was impressed from the powerful V8 Corvette engine as well as the rear De Dion tube for the GT:'Rivolta had me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion tubing and especially the Corvette engine. It was the first-time I had driven 1. It was superior in order to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but with a more immediate throttle result. 'The Iso Rivolta GT seemed to be a Giugiaro designed 4 seater with beautiful body, speed, comfort and handling, and was a prosperous car for ISO along with 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine with a classic De Dion raise suspension design with pushed steel monocoque bodywork around pressed steel frame chassis. Unveiled to the media in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L was a monstrous idea for any super coupé, the L coming coming from Lusso.

The Grifo epitomised your 1960s Italian style having its handsome low and extensive handmade bodywork. It was the fastest production car tested through Autocar Magazine in 1966 which has a top speed of one hundred sixty mph (260 km/h).

The concept of Bizzarrini was to utilize the 3AL cars for levels of competition. The competition versions with the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or perhaps Corsa. A new lightweight riveted alloy body was designed and built by Piero Drogo. It was an aggressively designed machine, oriented to endurance backgrounds. It uses normal ISO underpinnings though the engine was moved further last the chassis frame versus Grifo A3L, protruding well into the driver's cabin, fitted with hot cams and fed by a number of big Weber carburettors, giving more than 500 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).
