The Iso Gordon GT prototype was created from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT has been designed in 1960 simply by Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the car or truck and was impressed by the powerful V8 Corvette engine as well as the rear De Dion tube for the GT:'Rivolta experienced me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion tubing and especially the Corvette serps. It was the new I had driven a single. It was superior to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but using a more immediate throttle response. 'The Iso Rivolta GT had been a Giugiaro designed some seater with beautiful body, speed, comfort and handling, and was a successful car for ISO with 799 units sold.

The thought of Bizzarrini was to make use of the 3AL cars for competitors. The competition versions from the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or maybe Corsa. A new lightweight riveted alloy body was designed and built by Piero Drogo. It was an more boldly designed machine, oriented to endurance races. It uses normal ISO underpinnings even so the engine was moved further back the chassis frame than the Grifo A3L, protruding well into the actual driver's cabin, fitted with hot cams and fed by several big Weber carburettors, giving more than four hundred bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).
