In 1962 Iso Rivolta made their first Grand Touring (GT) car – and what a car it was and still is – the Iso Rivolta GT. With chassis design by Giotto Bizzarrini and styling by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Bertone, Iso made a comfortable four-seater that handled like a sports car. It is powered by a Chevrolet Corvette 327 CID engine and has disk brakes on all four wheels, with the rear being in-board, like a race car.
The motoring press loved this car, and what's not to love? Italian styling and American power – a great combination. There were 799 Iso Rivolta GTs produced between 1963 and 1970.
It was followed by the Grifo-Bizzarrini A3C, stunning Grifo, two-plus-two Lele, and the four-door Iso S4 & Fidia.
