Notable models include the 5300 GT Strada along with the P538S.Originally Prototipi Bizzarrini azines. r. l., the name was altered to Bizzarrini S. p. A. in 1966. The Bizzarrini marque has been revived with numerous concept cars in the actual 2000s.Giotto Bizzarrini was born in Livorno, Italy in 1926. His father was any rich landowner who originated in a family with powerful roots in Tuscany along with the city of Livorno.

Bizzarrini ended up being fired by Ferrari in the "palace revolt" of 1961. He became part connected with Automobili Turismo e Sport (ATS)), a company started because of 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 financial backers, Count Giovanni Volpi, owner of Scuderia Serenissima, hired Bizzarrini to up grade a Ferrari 250 GT SWB, with chassis number #2819GT for you to 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 style a V-12 engine for any GT car to become built by another dissatisfied Ferrari customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini. Lamborghini considered the resulting engine to become too highly strung, and ordered that the item be detuned.

Bizzarrini worked since 1964 intended for Iso Rivolta and created three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L as well as A3C versions. His work was to build up a pressed steel shape chassis for Iso cars. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant towards the Iso Gordon GT project which became the Iso Rivolta GT. The Iso Gordon GT prototype was developed from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT seemed to be designed in 1960 by simply Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the automobile and was impressed by the powerful V8 Corvette engine along with the rear De Dion tube employed for the GT:'Rivolta had me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion tubing and especially the Corvette motor. It was the first-time I had driven one particular. It was superior for you to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but that has a more immediate throttle reply. 'The Iso Rivolta GT has been a Giugiaro designed four seater with beautiful system, speed, comfort and handling, and was a productive car for ISO having 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine that has a classic De Dion raise suspension design with forced steel monocoque bodywork more than pressed steel frame framework. Unveiled to the mass media in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L had been a monstrous idea for the super coupé, the L coming coming from Lusso. The result of the brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini operating together, it was based using a shortened Iso Rivolta GT chassis and was debuted at the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised the actual 1960s Italian style having its handsome low and broad handmade bodywork. It was the speediest production car tested by simply 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 with the raised "pagoda style" scoop bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri products were rebuilt later with a whole lot larger engines.

The idea of Bizzarrini was to operate the 3AL cars for opposition. The competition versions from the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or perhaps Corsa. A new lightweight riveted aluminium body was designed and also built by Piero Drogo. It was an more boldly designed machine, oriented to endurance races. It uses normal ISO underpinnings though the engine was moved further back in the chassis frame compared to the Grifo A3L, protruding well into the driver's cabin, fitted with hot cameras and fed by several big Weber carburettors, giving more than 500 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).

About 29 A3C sport cars were built within the ISO name. Five of these up to 29 cars were bodied with plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo on Carrozzeria Sports Cars inside Modena. A3Cs were widely ran. Some cars entered the particular 1964 and 1965 Le Mans 24 hour, 1965 Nürburgring 1000 in addition to 1965 Sebring. It achieved a Le Mans class win in both years and a 9th overall in 1965 without any factory support. A3Cs were one from the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Immediately in both years.
