Iso Rivolta was an automobile and motorbike manufacturer in Italy, predominantly active from the late 1940’s through to its closure in December 1974.

The company created the unique and iconic design of the Isetta ‘bubble car’, an obvious extension of their motorcycle business.

Starting in 1954, the Isetta design was licensed to automobile manufacturers around the world and was a financial success with the royalties paid to Iso allowing Renzo Rivolta to move on to developing a number of powerful performance cars in the 60’s and early 70’s.

In 1962 Iso Rivolta made their first Grand Touring (GT) car the Iso Rivolta GT and subsequently the Iso Grifo A3/L (based on a shortened Iso Rivolta GT chassis) was introduced at the 1963 show in Turin.

As a prototype, the Iso Rivolta Lele debuted at the 1969 New York International Auto Show.
