This resulted in your Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo also referred to as the "Breadvan".Bizzarrini's engineering company, Societa Autostar, was commissioned to design and style a V-12 engine for just a GT car to possibly be built by another not satisfied Ferrari customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini.

Bizzarrini worked since 1964 with regard to Iso Rivolta and developed three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L in addition to A3C versions. His work was to formulate a pressed steel body chassis for Iso automobiles. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant towards 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 means of Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the car or truck and was impressed with the powerful V8 Corvette engine as well as the rear De Dion tube used by the GT:'Rivolta received me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion tubing and especially the Corvette serp. It was the new I had driven a single. It was superior in order to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but which has a more immediate throttle reply. 'The Iso Rivolta GT was a Giugiaro designed some seater with beautiful physique, speed, comfort and handling, and was a effective car for ISO along with 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine with a classic De Dion rear suspension design with constrained steel monocoque bodywork over pressed steel frame framework. Unveiled to the push in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L had been a monstrous idea for just a super coupé, the L coming from Lusso. The result of the brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini operating together, it was based with a shortened Iso Rivolta GT chassis and was debuted for the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised your 1960s Italian style which consists of handsome low and wide handmade bodywork. It was the speediest production car tested through Autocar Magazine in 1966 that has a top speed of one hundred sixty mph (260 km/h). Later versions of this Grifo were powered by way of big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) engine. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable through the raised "pagoda style" scoop bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri devices were rebuilt later with a great deal larger engines.

The idea of Bizzarrini was to utilize the 3AL cars for rivalry. The competition versions of the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or perhaps 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 backrounds. It uses normal ISO underpinnings even so the engine was moved further back in the chassis frame as opposed to Grifo A3L, protruding well into this driver's cabin, fitted with hot cameras and fed by 4 big Weber carburettors, giving more than four hundred bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).
Car specifications and technical data from more than 25,000 classics
Close to 29 A3C sport cars were built within the ISO name. Five of these 28 cars were bodied with plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo from Carrozzeria Sports Cars in Modena. A3Cs were widely raced. Some cars entered this 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 and a 9th overall in 1965 with no factory support.
