Another beautiful car, @heroldius!
The ISO Grifo is one of my favourite cars, simply because of its bad-ass styling and stance.
Flamboyant Italian styling, combined with brute American horsepower.
Some of the earlier ISO Grifos were available with a big block Chevy V8, up to 7.5 litres!
Unfortunately ISO is no longer around nowadays, though I do hope they can be revived sometime soon.
The oil crisis, combined with taxes in Italy for high displacement cars, meant that big engine cars like the Grifo couldn't survive long :(
Thanks it's appreciated. It's great to see your comment, interesting.
A lot of brand are relaunched, it would be cool to see a new Grifo on the road.
Would definitely like to see some of the older Italian brands resurrected.
The one brand that I would definitely crave to be reborn (properly)... is Lancia.
Lancia's greatness died too suddenly. I can't believe they're making boring, rebranded economy cars for Fiat now... :'(
Indeed, the old Lancia's models of the 50's or 60's were stunning like Flaminia or Aurelia :
Agreed! The 50s and 60s were the pinnacle of car design.
The Flaminia Zagato Super Sport is one of my favourites from the era.
Personally, I'd like to see more of the race/rally- bred Lancias return, like the Stratos, 037, and Delta Integrale Evo.
