Saturday, June 16, 2007 The Iso Grifo – Italian Style Combined with American Engineering Iso Spa in Bresso was already well known for producing the extremely well built and fast Iso Rivolta IR300 before the Iso Grifo was produced for more than a decade between 1963 and 1974; the iso Rivolta was a sleek looking 2+2 Coupe based on a Chevrolet Corvette power train. After leaving Ferrari, in 1961 Giotto Bizzarrini set up “Prototipi Bizzarrini” in Livorno, Tuscany where he designs for and consults Marques like ATS, Lamborghini and Iso Rivolta. In 1963 he designed the Iso Grifo A3/L (L for Lusso) for Renzo Rivolta who was looking for a follow-up to his Iso Rivolta GT. The body was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro at Bertone, while Giotto put his expertise in the mechanicals. Giotto figured there would also be a demand for a race version of the Grifo and came up with the A3/C (C for Corsa) with a dramatic modified alloy body. That same year Bertone showed the Grifo A3/L prototype at the Turin Auto Show, while Iso showed off the (partly unfinished) competition version; the Iso Grifo A3/C. Both were an overwhelming success. Although design changes had to be made to the prototype, Iso concentrated on getting the Grifo A3/L ready for production. The car got a light facelift that made it less aggressive but turned it into probably the most elegant looking Gran Turismo (GT) supercar ever produced. Finally in 1965 Giotto Bizzarrini and Renzo Rivolta split ways and this set the stage for a separated production of the “street” Grifo GL and the “competition” Bizzarrini A3/C. Giotto refined his A3/C and this eventually turned out to be his famous line of Bizzarrini 5300 Strada’s and Corsa’s. From here on the “Grifo” name was lost in connection to Bizzarrini. While the original Series I was one of the most beautiful GT’s ever built, the new lines of the Iso Grifo were perfect and the Grifo Series II became a timeless masterpiece with an even more aggressive look. All Grifos are extremely desirable today because of their beauty and un-complicated mechanicals, so most surviving cars are either restored or in the process of being restored.
