The company built only a few highly developed and sophisticated sport and racing automobiles before failing in 1969. Notable models include your 5300 GT Strada and the P538S.Originally Prototipi Bizzarrini ohydrates. r. l., the name was transformed to Bizzarrini S. p. A. in 1966. The Bizzarrini marque may be revived with quite a few concept cars in the particular 2000s.Giotto Bizzarrini was created in Livorno, Italy in 1926.

Bizzarrini has been fired by Ferrari during the "palace revolt" of 1961. He became part connected with Automobili Turismo e Activity (ATS)), a company started with the ex-Ferrari engineers to make a Formula 1 single seater and a GT sport car, the A. T. S. Serenissima.One of ATS's fiscal backers, Count Giovanni Volpi, owner of Scuderia Serenissima, hired Bizzarrini to enhance a Ferrari 250 GT SWB, with chassis number #2819GT to help GTO specifications. This resulted in this Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo also called the "Breadvan".Bizzarrini's engineering company, Societa Autostar, was commissioned to design a V-12 engine for the GT car to always be built by another unhappy Ferrari customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini. Lamborghini considered the resulting engine to be too highly strung, and ordered that it be detuned.

Bizzarrini worked since 1964 with regard to Iso Rivolta and created three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L as well as A3C versions. His work was in order to develop a pressed steel shape chassis for Iso vehicles. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant on the Iso Gordon GT challenge which became the Iso Rivolta GT. The Iso Gordon GT prototype was developed from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT has been designed in 1960 simply by Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the automobile and was impressed because of the powerful V8 Corvette engine plus the rear De Dion tube employed for the GT:'Rivolta experienced me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion conduit and especially the Corvette motor. It was the first-time I had driven just one. It was superior in order to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but having a more immediate throttle response. 'The Iso Rivolta GT seemed to be a Giugiaro designed some seater with beautiful entire body, speed, comfort and handling, and was a prosperous car for ISO together with 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine that has a classic De Dion raise suspension design with pressed steel monocoque bodywork over pressed steel frame chassis. Unveiled to the push in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L had been a monstrous idea for any super coupé, the L coming via Lusso. The result of the actual brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini functioning 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 which consists of handsome low and large handmade bodywork. It was the fastest production car tested by Autocar Magazine in 1966 using a top speed of one hundred sixty mph (260 km/h). Later versions of the particular Grifo were powered by a big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) motor. 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 a great deal larger engines.

The concept of Bizzarrini was to utilize the 3AL cars for opposition. The competition versions with 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 in a hostile manner designed machine, oriented to endurance races. It uses normal ISO underpinnings but the engine was moved further in the chassis frame compared to the Grifo A3L, protruding well into the actual driver's cabin, fitted with hot cams and fed by four big Weber carburettors, giving more than four hundred bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).

Around 29 A3C sport cars were built underneath the ISO name. Five of these 28 cars were bodied in plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo with Carrozzeria Sports Cars in Modena. A3Cs were widely raced. Some cars entered this 1964 and 1965 The Mans 24 hour, 1965 Nürburgring 1000 in addition to 1965 Sebring. It achieved a The Mans class win in both years along with a 9th overall in 1965 without any factory support. A3Cs were one in the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Direct in both years.
