Bizzarrini Azines. p. A. was an Italian automotive manufacturer in the 1960s founded by ex - Alfa Romeo, Ferrari and ISO manufacture, Giotto Bizzarrini. The company built a small amount of highly developed and state-of-the-art sport and racing motor vehicles before failing in 1969. Notable models include your 5300 GT Strada plus the P538S.Originally Prototipi Bizzarrini utes. r. l., the name was improved to Bizzarrini S. p. A. in 1966. The Bizzarrini marque may be revived with several concept cars in the 2000s.Giotto Bizzarrini was given birth to in Livorno, Italy in 1926. His father was a rich landowner who originated from a family with sturdy roots in Tuscany plus the city of Livorno. His grandfather, also named Giotto Bizzarrini, was a biologist who had caused Guglielmo Marconi on his / her inventions, especially the radio, following which one of the Livorno Library sections has been named The Bizzarrini Selection.Bizzarrini graduated as an engineer in the University of Pisa within 1953. He taught briefly previous to joining Alfa Romeo with 1954. He worked for Alfa Romeo via 1954 to 1957. He began working for Ferrari in 1957, eventually becoming controller of experimental, Sports and GT vehicle development. He worked at Ferrari being a developer, designer, test driver, and chief engineer intended for five years. His developments there bundled the Ferrari 250 TR, the Ferrari 250 GT SWB (Short Wheelbase Berlinetta or Berlinetta Passo Corto), and the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO.
Bizzarrini ended up being fired by Ferrari throughout the "palace revolt" of 1961. He became part of Automobili Turismo e Hobby (ATS)), a company started from the ex-Ferrari engineers to develop 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 improve a Ferrari 250 GT SWB, with chassis number #2819GT to help GTO specifications. This resulted in this Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo also known as the "Breadvan".Bizzarrini's engineering company, Societa Autostar, was commissioned to design a V-12 engine to get a GT car to end up being built by another discontented Ferrari customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini. Lamborghini considered the resulting engine to become too highly strung, and ordered that that be detuned.

Bizzarrini worked since 1964 regarding Iso Rivolta and created 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 and trucks. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant for the Iso Gordon GT venture which became the Iso Rivolta GT. The Iso Gordon GT prototype originated from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT seemed to be designed in 1960 by Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the car or truck and was impressed by the powerful V8 Corvette engine along with the rear De Dion tube for the GT:'Rivolta had me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion tubing and especially the Corvette powerplant. 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 having a more immediate throttle answer. 'The Iso Rivolta GT was a Giugiaro designed several seater with beautiful entire 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 that has a classic De Dion raise suspension design with hard pressed steel monocoque bodywork around pressed steel frame framework. Unveiled to the press in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L was a monstrous idea for a super coupé, the L coming from Lusso. The result of the brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini doing work together, it was based with a shortened Iso Rivolta GT framework and was debuted with the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised your 1960s Italian style with its handsome low and large handmade bodywork. It was the best production car tested simply by Autocar Magazine in 1966 which has a top speed of 160 mph (260 km/h). Later versions of the Grifo were powered with a big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) serp. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable by the raised "pagoda style" scoop bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri devices were rebuilt later with even bigger engines.

The concept of Bizzarrini was to make use of the 3AL cars for levels of competition. The competition versions in the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or Corsa. A new lightweight riveted aluminium lightweight body was designed in addition to built by Piero Drogo. It was an strongly designed machine, oriented to endurance races. It uses normal ISO underpinnings though the engine was moved further the government financial aid the chassis frame as opposed to Grifo A3L, protruding well into the driver's cabin, fitted with hot cameras and fed by 4 big Weber carburettors, giving more than 600 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).

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