The thinking behind Bizzarrini was to make use of the 3AL cars for competition. The competition versions in the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or maybe Corsa. A new lightweight riveted aluminium lightweight body was designed and also built by Piero Drogo. It was an boldy designed machine, oriented to endurance races. It uses normal ISO underpinnings nevertheless the engine was moved further back in the chassis frame as opposed to Grifo A3L, protruding well into your driver's cabin, fitted with hot cameras and fed by some big Weber carburettors, giving more than 300 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).
