20 Italian Sports Cars With American V8 Engines

10. Iso Grifo 90

The legendary Iso Grifo from the ‘60s and early ‘70s left an everlasting mark on the industry. So in 1990, Pietro Rivolta, son of the founder, presented the Grifo 90 concept. They built it on a Corvette C4 chassis with a special new body Marcello Gandini, the renowned stylist, designed. Unfortunately, financial problems forced the cancelation of the project and soon, the Grifo 90 was forgotten.

Fast forward two decades and a group of young Italian engineers decided to revive the project. However, this time they used the Corvette C5 as a base, dressing it up in a gorgeous yellow Grifo 90 body style. You can spec your Grifo 90 with a 490 HP engine and Corvette Z06 chassis to make it an extremely quick and capable sports car.
