1996 Iso Grifo 96

The "Iso Grifo 96" was a motor yacht. Piero Rivolta personally owns and uses this yacht.

Around 1991, the Iso Grifo prototype was completed with an American V8 with 5.7 liter displacement and 440 hp engine, which is also used in the Chevrolet Corvette ZR 6 model. The body was designed by Marcello Gandini and is made of plastic. Dallara was responsible for the development. After the completion of operational tests with the prototype, the idea of a mass production was discarded.

Piero Rivolta founded together with his son Renzo in Sarasota, Florida, the Rivolta Engineering company. In 1999, after a joint venture agreement with Zagato, the Company is now under Rivolta Engineering & Marketing Based Zagato. It offers, among other services for the automotive industry, shipbuilding, construction of houses and industrial design. Recently, the company presented, the city car Isigo, for the European market.
