The Bizzarrini was built as a street legal Grifo A3C. In 1965, a Bizzarrini Grifo won its class at Le Mans and finished ninth overall. 133 Bizzarrini Stradas were made and about 80 still exist today.

The Strada – which adopted a Front mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout – was powered by a 327 Chevrolet small-block engine displacing 5.4 L and rated at 365 hp to 385 N⋅m of torque in the road legal version and 400 hp in the Corsa.

The engine was intentionally placed as far back over the front axle as possible, to improve weight distribution and handling. The car could accelerate 0–100 km/h in less than 7 seconds, and attained a top speed of 280 km/h (174 mph).//wikipedia
