Notable models include this 5300 GT Strada and also the P538S.Originally Prototipi Bizzarrini azines. r. l., the name was transformed to Bizzarrini S. p. A. in 1966. The Bizzarrini marque has been revived with a number of concept cars in this 2000s.Giotto Bizzarrini was born in Livorno, Italy in 1926.

Bizzarrini seemed to be fired by Ferrari in the "palace revolt" of 1961. He became part of Automobili Turismo e Game (ATS)), a company started because of the ex-Ferrari engineers to create a Formula 1 single seater plus a GT sport car, the A. T. S. Serenissima.One of ATS's economic backers, Count Giovanni Volpi, owner of Scuderia Serenissima, hired Bizzarrini to update a Ferrari 250 GT SWB, with chassis number #2819GT to help GTO specifications. This resulted in this Ferrari 250 GT SWB Drogo often known as the "Breadvan".Bizzarrini's engineering company, Societa Autostar, was commissioned to pattern a V-12 engine for a GT car to be built by another disappointed Ferrari customer, Ferruccio Lamborghini. Lamborghini considered the resulting engine for being too highly strung, and ordered that the idea be detuned.

Bizzarrini worked since 1964 pertaining to Iso Rivolta and created three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L and A3C versions. His work was to build up a pressed steel framework 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 made from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT has been designed in 1960 through Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the car and was impressed through the powerful V8 Corvette engine and also the rear De Dion tube for the GT:'Rivolta got me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion tv and especially the Corvette motor. It was the very first time that I had driven one. It was superior for you to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but that has a more immediate throttle reaction. 'The Iso Rivolta GT ended up being a Giugiaro designed several seater with beautiful human body, speed, comfort and handling, and was a effective car for ISO having 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine with a classic De Dion rear suspension design with pressed steel monocoque bodywork more than pressed steel frame framework. Unveiled to the press in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L ended up being a monstrous idea for a super coupé, the L coming through Lusso. The result of the particular brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini operating together, it was based with a shortened Iso Rivolta GT framework and was debuted at the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised your 1960s Italian style featuring a handsome low and large handmade bodywork. It was the most effective production car tested by means of Autocar Magazine in 1966 having a top speed of 160 mph (260 km/h). Later versions of the particular Grifo were powered by way of big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) engine. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable with the raised "pagoda style" information bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri devices were rebuilt later with even bigger engines.

The thinking behind Bizzarrini was to utilize the 3AL cars for opposition. The competition versions on the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or Corsa. A new lightweight riveted aluminum body was designed and built by Piero Drogo. It was an aggressively designed machine, oriented to endurance events. It uses normal ISO underpinnings even so the engine was moved further back the chassis frame versus Grifo A3L, protruding well into this driver's cabin, fitted with hot cameras and fed by several big Weber carburettors, giving more than 400 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).
About 29 A3C sport cars were built underneath the ISO name. Five of these 30 cars were bodied inside plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo from Carrozzeria Sports Cars with Modena. A3Cs were widely raced. Some cars entered the particular 1964 and 1965 The Mans 24 hour, 1965 Nürburgring 1000 as well as 1965 Sebring. It achieved a Le Mans class win in both years along with a 9th overall in 1965 without the need of factory support. A3Cs were one on the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Straight in both years.
