Bizzarrini worked since 1964 pertaining to Iso Rivolta and developed three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L and also A3C versions. His work was in order to develop a pressed steel shape chassis for Iso autos. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant on the Iso Gordon GT challenge which became the Iso Rivolta GT. The Iso Gordon GT prototype was created from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT seemed to be designed in 1960 through Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the auto and was impressed from the powerful V8 Corvette engine as well as the rear De Dion tube used by the GT:'Rivolta acquired me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion pipe and especially the Corvette engine. It was the very first time that I had driven just one. It was superior to help Ferrari's engines, having the same power but with a more immediate throttle response. 'The Iso Rivolta GT ended up being a Giugiaro designed 4 seater with beautiful human body, speed, comfort and handling, and was a productive car for ISO together with 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine that has a classic De Dion rear suspension design with pressed steel monocoque bodywork around pressed steel frame framework. Unveiled to the mass media in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L ended up being a monstrous idea for the super coupé, the L coming via Lusso. The result of the actual brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini doing the job together, it was based on a shortened Iso Rivolta GT chassis and was debuted for the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised the particular 1960s Italian style featuring a handsome low and broad handmade bodywork. It was the speediest production car tested by means of Autocar Magazine in 1966 that has a top speed of 160 mph (260 km/h). Later versions of the actual Grifo were powered by way of big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) motor. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable because of the raised "pagoda style" details bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri units were rebuilt later with a great deal larger engines.

The thinking behind Bizzarrini was to utilize the 3AL cars for rivalry. The competition versions in 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 more boldly designed machine, oriented to endurance backgrounds. It uses normal ISO underpinnings however the engine was moved further the government financial aid the chassis frame compared to the Grifo A3L, protruding well into the driver's cabin, fitted with hot cameras and fed by some big Weber carburettors, giving more than four hundred bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).
