Bizzarrini tested the automobile and was impressed because of the powerful V8 Corvette engine along with the rear De Dion tube employed for the GT:'Rivolta experienced me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion tube and especially the Corvette serp. It was the very first time that I had driven one particular. It was superior in order to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but with a more immediate throttle reaction. 'The Iso Rivolta GT ended up being a Giugiaro designed some seater with beautiful body, speed, comfort and handling, and was a productive car for ISO having 799 units sold.

The concept of Bizzarrini was to use the 3AL cars for competition. The competition versions in the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or Corsa. A new lightweight riveted lightweight alloy body was designed as well as built by Piero Drogo. It was an boldy designed machine, oriented to endurance events. It uses normal ISO underpinnings but the engine was moved further back in the chassis frame as opposed to Grifo A3L, protruding well into the driver's cabin, fitted with hot cams and fed by four big Weber carburettors, giving more than 400 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).
