Italian manufacturer Iso’s beautiful Grifo offered a remarkable combination of a chassis designed by Italy’s great automotive engineer Giotto Bizzarrini, a reliable Chevrolet V-8 engine, and svelte coachwork drawn by Giorgetto Giugiaro and built by Bertone.
The result managed to look both sensual and aggressive at the same time but was also a highly competent grand-touring automobile.
