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