Notable models include the 5300 GT Strada along with the P538S.Originally Prototipi Bizzarrini s. r. l., the name was altered to Bizzarrini S. p. A. in 1966. The Bizzarrini marque continues to be revived with a number of concept cars in the 2000s.Giotto Bizzarrini was born in Livorno, Italy in 1926. His father was a rich landowner who originated from a family with strong roots in Tuscany and the city of Livorno.

Bizzarrini has been fired by Ferrari through the "palace revolt" of 1961. He became part involving Automobili Turismo e Activity (ATS)), a company started from the ex-Ferrari engineers to make a Formula 1 single seater along with a GT sport car, the A. T. S. Serenissima.One of ATS's economic backers, Count Giovanni Volpi, owner of Scuderia Serenissima, hired Bizzarrini to update a Ferrari 250 GT SWB, with chassis number #2819GT to be able to GTO specifications. This resulted in the particular Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo also called the "Breadvan".Bizzarrini's engineering company, Societa Autostar, was commissioned to design a V-12 engine for a GT car to possibly be built by another not satisfied Ferrari customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini. Lamborghini considered the resulting engine to be too highly strung, and ordered that it be detuned.

Bizzarrini worked since 1964 with regard to Iso Rivolta and designed three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L as well as A3C versions. His work was to formulate a pressed steel shape chassis for Iso autos. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant for the Iso Gordon GT undertaking which became the Iso Rivolta GT. The Iso Gordon GT prototype was developed from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT has been designed in 1960 simply by Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the car and was impressed because of the powerful V8 Corvette engine plus the rear De Dion tube used by the GT:'Rivolta had me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion pipe and especially the Corvette engine. It was the very first time I had driven 1. It was superior for you to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but that has a more immediate throttle answer. 'The Iso Rivolta GT was a Giugiaro designed four seater with beautiful human body, speed, comfort and handling, and was a successful car for ISO along with 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine using a classic De Dion backed suspension design with constrained steel monocoque bodywork in excess of pressed steel frame framework. Unveiled to the media in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L has been a monstrous idea for the super coupé, the L coming coming from Lusso. The result of your brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini operating together, it was based on the shortened Iso Rivolta GT chassis and was debuted in the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised the actual 1960s Italian style featuring a handsome low and wide handmade bodywork. It was the most effective production car tested through Autocar Magazine in 1966 using a top speed of one hundred sixty mph (260 km/h). Later versions of this Grifo were powered by a big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) engine. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable from the raised "pagoda style" deal bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri units were rebuilt later with a whole lot larger engines.

Thinking about Bizzarrini was to use the 3AL cars for rivalry. The competition versions of the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or even Corsa. A new lightweight riveted aluminium lightweight body was designed and also built by Piero Drogo. It was an strongly designed machine, oriented to endurance contests. It uses normal ISO underpinnings though the engine was moved further back in the chassis frame as opposed to Grifo A3L, protruding well into the driver's cabin, fitted with hot cameras and fed by several big Weber carburettors, giving more than 500 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).

About 29 A3C sport cars were built under the ISO name. Five of these 30 cars were bodied throughout plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo at Carrozzeria Sports Cars with Modena. A3Cs were widely raced. Some cars entered your 1964 and 1965 Le Mans 24 hour, 1965 Nürburgring 1000 as well as 1965 Sebring. It achieved a The Mans class win in both years as well as a 9th overall in 1965 with no factory support. A3Cs were one from the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Right in both years.
