The body of the Grifo A3/C was designed by Bertone, a renowned Italian design house. The design featured a long hood, a short rear overhang, and elegant lines.
Beneath the hood of the Grifo A3/C resided a powerful V8 engine. Different versions of the model used engines from various manufacturers, including Chevrolet and Ford. The power output varied accordingly, but some versions achieved impressive performance figures.
The Grifo A3/C wasn't just made for regular road use; it also found its place in motorsport. It competed in various races such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Targa Florio, which contributed to its fame.
