Iso Rivolta IR 300 As the first of the production GT cars from Iso, the IR 300 has always been special. The fact that it was designed by one of the greatest automobile designers in history, Giorgetto Giugiaro, and engineered by the father of the 250 GTO only add to its allure. Bizzarinni developed a pressed steel and welded panel chassis for the IR 300, it had independent unequal-length double A-arm front suspension with de Dion rear suspension, and unusually for the time it had four wheel disc brakes.Power would be provided by a 5.4 liter V8 from the Chevrolet Corvette producing 300 bhp. The use of the Corvette V8 made engine sourcing easy for Iso, spare parts were similarly simple to order, and there were no problems with engine reliability or complex maintenance.Initially the engine was fitted with a 4-speed manual transmission, a 5-speed manual and an optional 3-speed automatic would follow.The IR 300 was first publicly displayed at the 1962 Torino Motor Show, it was positively received though some were perhaps a little perplexed that the father of the Iso Isetta bubble car had also conceived of this new luxury GT car. A total of 797 examples of the Iso Rivolta IR 300 would be built up until 1970, 167 of these would be the IR 340 with the uprated 340 bhp engine option.
