And one of them is Iso, an Italian automotive manufacturer founded in Genoa by Renzo Rivolta in 1939 before moved to Bresso in 1942. Initially, this Italian company mainly built motorcycles and scooters, then in the 1950s, they decided to build a microcar. Today everyone knows about the BMW Isetta. However, at first, Iso produced the car itself, before they released the license. In the 60s and 70s, they also built four 'real' cars, such as Rivolta, Grifo, Fidia, and Lele. However, in 1974, there was one other thing behind it.

If all goes well, a car called Iso will reappear 46 years later. The Italians show the first images of such a beautiful car called the Iso Rivolta GTZ. And if we look at the 'Z' letter of the car's name that stands for Zagato. So all of us agreed if the design is in good hands. Due to Zagato is one of the Italian renowned automotive designer and coachbuilder companies till today. In 2017, Zagato already presented a digital concept based on the classic Iso Rivolta.

Yes, we have seen what the car looks like. The Italian coachbuilder has shared the first sketch of Iso Rivolta GTZ. The sketch also promises a lot of good design to emerge from it, like an old-fashioned Italian beauty, because the design is directly inspired by the Iso Grifo A3/C. 

If the Italian company wants to remain historically responsible, the upcoming IsoRivolta GTZ must choose to use the American V8 engine. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/3fpfcBH)

As we all know that the A3/C was the racing version of the Iso Grifo. This car was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro. Then the person who is trusted to handle the car's technical issues was Giotto Bizzarrini, the man behind the famous Ferrari 250 GTO. Later due to Bizzarrini disagreed with Renzo Rivolta, he quit and built the car under his own brand name. 

Zagato will deliver the first IsoRivolta GTZ in October 2020 and built it for more than 4,500 Iso Rivolta Club Members and Owners worldwide. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/3fpfcBH)

This special car now has a successor. But until now there are no technical details, but if the Italian company wants to remain historically responsible, they must choose the American V8 engine. Judging by Zagato's portfolios this does indeed seem to be happening. Let's see the classic Iso Grifo A3 of the 1960s and hear its roars.

And all we can do now is wait until October because that's a bit of a time clue from them about when this gorgeous car will be introduced. Now take a seat, relax, and be patient, because it promises to be another fine example of Italian designs. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | ZAGATO | CHALLENGES.FR | TECHZLE]
