Bizzarrini has been fired by Ferrari over the "palace revolt" of 1961. He became part of Automobili Turismo e Game (ATS)), a company started with the ex-Ferrari engineers to produce a Formula 1 single seater as well as a GT sport car, the A. T. S. Serenissima.One of ATS's personal backers, Count Giovanni Volpi, owner of Scuderia Serenissima, hired Bizzarrini to improve a Ferrari 250 GT SWB, with chassis number #2819GT to be able to GTO specifications. This resulted in the Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo also known as the "Breadvan".Bizzarrini's engineering company, Societa Autostar, was commissioned to pattern a V-12 engine for the GT car to end up being built by another dissatisfied Ferrari customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini. Lamborghini considered the resulting engine for being too highly strung, and ordered that that be detuned.

Bizzarrini worked since 1964 intended for Iso Rivolta and developed three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L and A3C versions. His work was to build up a pressed steel frame chassis for Iso automobiles. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant towards Iso Gordon GT project which became the Iso Rivolta GT. The Iso Gordon GT prototype was developed from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT was designed in 1960 through Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the auto and was impressed by the powerful V8 Corvette engine as well as the rear De Dion tube employed for the GT:'Rivolta had me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion conduit and especially the Corvette serp. It was the very 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 response. 'The Iso Rivolta GT was a Giugiaro designed 4 seater with beautiful system, speed, comfort and handling, and was a effective car for ISO having 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine with a classic De Dion back suspension design with forced steel monocoque bodywork over pressed steel frame framework. Unveiled to the press in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L was a monstrous idea for the super coupé, the L coming via Lusso. The result of the actual brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini doing work together, it was based with a shortened Iso Rivolta GT framework and was debuted in the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised the 1960s Italian style with its handsome low and extensive handmade bodywork. It was the speediest production car tested through Autocar Magazine in 1966 using a top speed of 160 mph (260 km/h). Later versions of the Grifo were powered by way of big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) powerplant. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable by the raised "pagoda style" scoop 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 3AL cars for competitors. The competition versions with the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or perhaps Corsa. A new lightweight riveted aluminum body was designed and also built by Piero Drogo. It was an more boldly designed machine, oriented to endurance backgrounds. It uses normal ISO underpinnings however the engine was moved further last the chassis frame compared to the Grifo A3L, protruding well into the particular driver's cabin, fitted with hot cameras and fed by four big Weber carburettors, giving more than 400 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).

Close to 29 A3C sport cars were built beneath the ISO name. Five of these 30 cars were bodied throughout plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo from Carrozzeria Sports Cars in Modena. A3Cs were widely competed. Some cars entered this 1964 and 1965 Le Mans 24 hour, 1965 Nürburgring 1000 as well as 1965 Sebring. It achieved a Le Mans class win in both years along with a 9th overall in 1965 without any factory support. A3Cs were one of the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Straight in both years.
