This book tells the fascinating story of the last and most successful of
the Iso AC/3 Grifo race cars from the fabulous period of sports car
racing in the mid-1960s. The A3/C was the creation of Giotto Bizzarrini,
the engineer who developed the famed Ferrari 250 GTO. In its short but
varied racing career, which included outings with two Grand Prix
drivers, '222' showed itself to be one of the world's fastest racing
sports and GT cars, its top speed on the Mulsanne straight at Le Mans,
nearly 190mph, bettered only by the 7-litre Ford GT Mk II. This book
celebrates the life of '222' and the against-the-odds efforts of
Bizzarrini, a genius with the ambition to produce the best GT race car
of its era.
