History
Designed by ex-Ferrari chief engineer Giotto Bizzarrini in 1963, the Strada was launched by his company in 1964. It was similar in concept to the Iso Grifo, also designed by Bizzarrini, and even used the Grifo name while in the planning stage, as well as the welded unibody platform of the Iso Rivolta 300.[2]
The Strada – which adopted a Front mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout – was powered by a 327 Chevrolet small-block engine displacing 5.4 L (5,358 cc) and rated at 365 hp (272 kW) to 385 N⋅m (284 lb⋅ft) of torque in the road legal version and 400 hp (298 kW) in the Corsa. [2] The engine was intentionally placed as far back over the front axle as possible, to improve weight distribution and handling. The car could accelerate 0–100 km/h (62 mph) in less than 7 seconds, and attained a top speed of 280 km/h (174 mph). In later models, the 5,358 cc engine was replaced by a larger 7,000 cc unit, fitted with a Holley carburetor.[1]
Dunlop four-wheel disc brakes, a BorgWarner T-10 four-speed manual transmission,[2] de Dion tube rear suspension, and limited slip differential were also used. The Giorgetto Giugiaro influenced Bertone styled aluminum body, was striking in its day and still regarded in the 21st century as "gorgeous"[2] and an "absolute masterpiece".[1] Three spyder versions were also built, including a prototype which was a full convertible and two production versions which featured removable T-tops.[3]
In 1965, a Bizzarrini Grifo won its class at Le Mans and finished ninth overall.
A total of 133 examples were produced from 1964 through 1968.[1]

Der Bizzarrini GT 5300 war ein in geringen Stückzahlen produzierter Sportwagen des italienischen Automobilherstellers Automobili Bizzarrini, der historisch und technisch eng mit dem Iso Grifo des Mailänder Sportwagenherstellers Iso Rivolta verwandt ist. Das Auto war als Rennsportversion des Grifo konzipiert und wurde anfänglich als Iso A3/C vermarktet. Nach dem Ende der geschäftlichen Beziehungen zwischen Bizzarrini und Iso Rivolta wurde es 1965 zu einem eigenständigen Modell. Bizzarrini bot den nun GT 5300 genannten Wagen in einer straßentauglichen Version und in einer überarbeiteten, für Motorsporteinsätze geeigneten Ausführung an. Der Produktionsumfang beider Versionen blieb hinter Bizzarrinis Erwartungen zurück. Auch im Motorsport konnte der GT 5300 nicht an die Erfolge anknüpfen, die 1964 und 1965 mit dem weitgehend baugleichen Iso A3/C erzielt worden waren.- [en] Bizzarrini Strada
