The Iso Rivolta GT300 coupe was celebrated for its elegant design and powerful performance. This car uniquely blended Italian aesthetics with American engine technology, resulting in a distinct and iconic classic. It is powered by a 5.4 liter American V8 engine that delivers 300 horsepower, paired with a 4-speed Borg Warner manual gearbox, enabling rapid acceleration and a top speed of 225km/h.

The suspension system was a standout feature, with the front utilizing unequal-length A-arms, and the rear employing a De Dion axle both with coil springs, ensuring both performance and comfort. Constructed with a monocoque chassis the car was both lightweight and rigid, with an aerodynamic design to reduce drag and enhance performance.

Inside, the Iso Rivolta offered a luxurious experience with high-quality leather seats and a dashboard adorned with chrome / wood and essential gauges for easy monitoring. This combination of technical sophistication and refined style made it a masterpiece in sports car design. The car remains highly prized among classic car enthusiasts, celebrated for its engineering excellence and aesthetic appeal, and continues to be a remarkable example of automotive history.

The vehicle arrived at our workshop almost fully disassembled, with only the suspension and engine still mounted. We took it apart completely, and the chassis underwent a thorough cleaning to remove all paint and rust. Currently, the chassis is at our partner's workshop for metal restoration. Meanwhile, we are handling all the other subsystems. We disassemble everything down to the last bolt, carefully inspecting and restoring each part of the car. Although the engine was previously restored by the former owner, it has been sitting in a garage for decades, so we need to meticulously check if it is still in good condition.
