Bizzarrini worked since 1964 pertaining to Iso Rivolta and created three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L in addition to A3C versions. His work was to build up a pressed steel figure chassis for Iso vehicles. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant for the Iso Gordon GT task which became the Iso Rivolta GT. The Iso Gordon GT prototype was developed from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT seemed to be designed in 1960 by simply Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the vehicle and was impressed through the powerful V8 Corvette engine and also the rear De Dion tube useful for the GT:'Rivolta had me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion tv and especially the Corvette serp. It was the very first time that I had driven one. It was superior for you to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but having a more immediate throttle result. 'The Iso Rivolta GT has been a Giugiaro designed 4 seater with beautiful system, speed, comfort and handling, and was a successful car for ISO having 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine which has a classic De Dion rear suspension design with pressed steel monocoque bodywork in excess of pressed steel frame framework. Unveiled to the push in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L ended up being a monstrous idea for the super coupé, the L coming through Lusso. The result of the particular brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini working together, it was based with a shortened Iso Rivolta GT chassis and was debuted in the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised the particular 1960s Italian style with its handsome low and wide handmade bodywork. It was the speediest production car tested by simply Autocar Magazine in 1966 using a top speed of one hundred sixty mph (260 km/h). Later versions of this Grifo were powered by the big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) serps. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable because of the raised "pagoda style" scoop bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri products were rebuilt later with even bigger engines.

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

All around 29 A3C sport cars were built beneath the ISO name. Five of these 28 cars were bodied with plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo with Carrozzeria Sports Cars throughout Modena. A3Cs were widely raced. Some cars entered your 1964 and 1965 Le Mans 24 hour, 1965 Nürburgring 1000 and 1965 Sebring. It achieved a The Mans class win in both years and also a 9th overall in 1965 with no factory support. A3Cs were one on the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Straight in both years.
