Bizzarrini seemed to be fired by Ferrari during the "palace revolt" of 1961. He became part involving Automobili Turismo e Sport (ATS)), a company started by the ex-Ferrari engineers to produce 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 upgrade a Ferrari 250 GT SWB, with chassis number #2819GT in order 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 layout a V-12 engine for just a GT car to possibly be built by another dissatisfied Ferrari customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini. Lamborghini considered the resulting engine to get too highly strung, and ordered that this be detuned.

Bizzarrini worked since 1964 for Iso Rivolta and developed three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L as well as A3C versions. His work was to develop a pressed steel body chassis for Iso cars and trucks. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant for 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 seemed to be designed in 1960 by simply Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the car and was impressed with the powerful V8 Corvette engine and also 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 first-time I had driven one particular. It was superior in order to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but that has a more immediate throttle result. 'The Iso Rivolta GT ended up being a Giugiaro designed several seater with beautiful body, speed, comfort and handling, and was a successful car for ISO together with 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine which has a classic De Dion backside suspension design with constrained steel monocoque bodywork above pressed steel frame chassis. Unveiled to the push in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L had been a monstrous idea to get a super coupé, the L coming coming from Lusso. The result of the brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini functioning together, it was based on the shortened Iso Rivolta GT framework and was debuted in the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised your 1960s Italian style with its handsome low and large handmade bodywork. It was the quickest production car tested by means of Autocar Magazine in 1966 using a top speed of one hundred sixty mph (260 km/h). Later versions of your Grifo were powered with a 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 items were rebuilt later with a great deal larger engines.

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 alloy body was designed along with built by Piero Drogo. It was an in a hostile manner designed machine, oriented to endurance contests. It uses normal ISO underpinnings however the engine was moved further back the chassis frame than the Grifo A3L, protruding well into your driver's cabin, fitted with hot cams and fed by several big Weber carburettors, giving more than 500 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).

All around 29 A3C sport cars were built within the ISO name. Five of these twenty nine cars were bodied throughout plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo on Carrozzeria Sports Cars inside Modena. A3Cs were widely ran. Some cars entered the actual 1964 and 1965 Le Mans 24 hour, 1965 Nürburgring 1000 as well as 1965 Sebring. It achieved a The Mans class win in both years plus a 9th overall in 1965 without the need of factory support. A3Cs were one on the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Direct in both years.
