"This Iso Rivolta is the one-off prototype Daytona commissioned by Carlo Bernasconi of Milan in 1965. It features similar specifications to the Iso Rivolta LeMans cars from 1964 which include Superleggera construction. The body was built on an Iso chassis by the famous Modena carrozzeria Neri e Bonaccini (Nembo) with technical assistence from Bizzarrini.

The engine is a Corvette V8 and driven through a close ratio four speed Corvette transmission to a Power-Loc equipped Salisbury differential. The engine was reworked by Ron Shaver with a crossover manifold and 48 DCO 2SP Weber carburetors. The Engine was Dyno-tuned, re-jetted and a full pre-race service performed. It produces 490HP and 434 ft Lb of Torque. The car has been track tested and is completely race ready, it’s lap times are now competitive with 289 Comp Cobras and Corvettes."

Looks a bit like a slightly more brutish 1964 250GTO. Nice.

That is drooooooolsome

And there was me thinking that the only good looking car ISO ever made was the Grifo!

Thanks for that, dink!

dinkel: I don't think that's the one I mean. I'll look for photos of it.

Clear resemblance with the Lambo Monza here . . .

That Iso Daytona is absolutely perfect. I really cannot fault it and it's not often that I can say that about a car!

More than just a hint of 250 lm around the rear 3/4 which is no bad thing.............

Isn't that basically a Grifo ?
Mike Hailwood he of motorcycling God fame- had a Grifo around 1966/7. Saw it in paddock at Cadwell. Admirable taste.

That's for grabs . . . if it's real.

Consider the 'normal' Grifo:
