Bizzarrini Ersus. p. A. was an Italian automotive manufacturer inside the 1960s founded by former Alfa Romeo, Ferrari and ISO electrical engineer, Giotto Bizzarrini. The company built only a few highly developed and superior sport and racing vehicles before failing in 1969. Notable models include the particular 5300 GT Strada plus the P538S.Originally Prototipi Bizzarrini ohydrates. r. l., the name was changed to Bizzarrini S. p. A. in 1966. The Bizzarrini marque may be revived with quite a few concept cars in the 2000s.Giotto Bizzarrini was given birth to in Livorno, Italy in 1926. His father was some sort of rich landowner who got their start in a family with robust roots in Tuscany and the city of Livorno. His grandfather, also named Giotto Bizzarrini, was a biologist who had worked with Guglielmo Marconi on his / her inventions, especially the radio, following which one of the Livorno Library sections had been named The Bizzarrini Collection.Bizzarrini graduated as an engineer inside the University of Pisa in 1953. He taught briefly prior to joining Alfa Romeo with 1954. He worked for Alfa Romeo coming from 1954 to 1957. He began working for Ferrari in 1957, eventually becoming controller of experimental, Sports and GT car development. He worked at Ferrari to be a developer, designer, test driver, and chief engineer regarding five years. His developments there bundled the Ferrari 250 TR, the Ferrari 250 GT SWB (Small Wheelbase Berlinetta or Berlinetta Passo Corto), and the 1962 Ferrari 300 GTO.

Bizzarrini was fired by Ferrari during the "palace revolt" of 1961. He became part associated with Automobili Turismo e Activity (ATS)), a company started from the ex-Ferrari engineers to create a Formula 1 single seater and a GT sport car, the A. T. S. Serenissima.One of ATS's financial backers, Count Giovanni Volpi, owner of Scuderia Serenissima, hired Bizzarrini to enhance a Ferrari 250 GT SWB, with chassis number #2819GT to GTO specifications. This resulted in your Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo also referred to as the "Breadvan".Bizzarrini's engineering company, Societa Autostar, was commissioned to style a V-12 engine for any GT car to always be built by another not satisfied Ferrari customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini. Lamborghini considered the resulting engine for being too highly strung, and ordered that the idea be detuned.

Bizzarrini worked since 1964 for Iso Rivolta and developed three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L and also A3C versions. His work was to develop a pressed steel figure chassis for Iso cars. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant for the Iso Gordon GT venture which became the Iso Rivolta GT. The Iso Gordon GT prototype was made from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT has been designed in 1960 by Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the car and was impressed because of the powerful V8 Corvette engine along with the rear De Dion tube useful for the GT:'Rivolta had me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion tubing and especially the Corvette serps. It was the very first time that 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 ended up being a Giugiaro designed a number of seater with beautiful body, speed, comfort and handling, and was a profitable car for ISO together with 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine which has a classic De Dion back suspension design with constrained steel monocoque bodywork over pressed steel frame chassis. Unveiled to the media in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L seemed to be a monstrous idea for a super coupé, the L coming coming from Lusso. The result of your brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini operating together, it was based with a shortened Iso Rivolta GT chassis and was debuted in the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised the 1960s Italian style featuring a handsome low and extensive handmade bodywork. It was the most effective production car tested through Autocar Magazine in 1966 having a top speed of 160 mph (260 km/h). Later versions of the particular Grifo were powered with a big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) engine. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable with 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 operate the 3AL cars for competition. The competition versions on the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or even Corsa. A new lightweight riveted alloy body was designed along with built by Piero Drogo. It was an in a hostile manner designed machine, oriented to endurance events. It uses normal ISO underpinnings however the engine was moved further in 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).

All around 29 A3C sport cars were built beneath ISO name. Five of these 28 cars were bodied with plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo in Carrozzeria Sports Cars within Modena. A3Cs were widely ran. Some cars entered the actual 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 plus a 9th overall in 1965 with no factory support. A3Cs were one on the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Directly in both years.
