Bizzarrini has been fired by Ferrari throughout the "palace revolt" of 1961.

Serenissima.One of ATS's monetary backers, Count Giovanni Volpi, owner of Scuderia Serenissima, hired Bizzarrini to upgrade a Ferrari 250 GT SWB, with chassis number #2819GT to help GTO specifications. This resulted in the actual Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo also called the "Breadvan".Bizzarrini's engineering company, Societa Autostar, was commissioned to pattern a V-12 engine for the GT car to be built by another dissatisfied Ferrari customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini.

Bizzarrini worked since 1964 for Iso Rivolta and developed three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L along with A3C versions. His work was in order to develop a pressed steel body chassis for Iso vehicles. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant towards 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 ended up being designed in 1960 by simply Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the vehicle and was impressed through the powerful V8 Corvette engine as well as the rear De Dion tube useful for the GT:'Rivolta acquired me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion tv and especially the Corvette motor. It was the first time I had driven one. It was superior in order to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but which has a more immediate throttle response. 'The Iso Rivolta GT ended up being a Giugiaro designed several seater with beautiful physique, speed, comfort and handling, and was a productive car for ISO with 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine having a classic De Dion backed suspension design with hard pressed steel monocoque bodywork more than pressed steel frame chassis. Unveiled to the push in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L has been a monstrous idea for a super coupé, the L coming coming from Lusso. The result of the actual brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini doing the job together, it was based with a shortened Iso Rivolta GT framework and was debuted at the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised your 1960s Italian style with its handsome low and vast handmade bodywork. It was the quickest production car tested by simply Autocar Magazine in 1966 using a top speed of one hundred sixty mph (260 km/h).

The thinking behind Bizzarrini was to use the 3AL cars for competition. The competition versions with the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione as well as Corsa. A new lightweight riveted aluminum body was designed and also built by Piero Drogo. It was an aggressively designed machine, oriented to endurance backrounds. It uses normal ISO underpinnings however the engine was moved further in the chassis frame compared to Grifo A3L, protruding well into this driver's cabin, fitted with hot cameras and fed by four big Weber carburettors, giving more than 600 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).

It achieved a The Mans class win in both years as well as a 9th overall in 1965 without factory support. A3Cs were one in the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Straight in both years.
