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. It used a Corvette C4 chassis with a special new body designed by renowned stylist Marcello Gandini. Unfortunately, financial problems forced the cancelation of the project and the Grifo 90 was forgotten (via Supercar Nostalgia).

Fast-forward two decades and a group of young Italian engineers decided to revive the project, but this time using Corvette C5 as a basis and dressing it up in a gorgeous yellow Grifo 90 body style. You can spec your Grifo 90 with a 490 hp engine and a Corvette Z06 chassis, which makes it an extremely quick and capable sports car.
