Digital is an annoyance, and it is not driver friendly. With traditional instruments you come to understand where dials should be pointing on all the gauges, so only a cursory glance is required to monitor them, and if something is off, you know it immediately. That is not the case with digital displays.... all you see are numbers... you have to actually read them and then think for a second what they imply. This is time wasting and tiring, and it takes your eyes off the road longer. I hate digital displays.

GeSchmidtt that was my first thought also. Though I these cars, and have read an article about the rivolta decades ago: that particular car was bought for less than 20k, original in good, 2- , conditions. Probably not to find these days anymore

Visually this is one of the most beautiful videos you guys have put out in a while. I love ISO Grifo and Rivolta and you did an AMAZING job capturing the car , the spirit and the owner. Touching stuff here. When Petrolicious gets it right, no one does it better. PERIOD

Bildschön. Als ich im Internat war, wurde mein Klassenkamerad am Wochenende immer vom Chauffeur mit dem Iso Rivolta abgeholt. Ich war damals wie heute total fasziniert von dem Auto.

The mixture between the beautiful italian design and the brutality of the V8 Corvette, is simply amazing. I admire and at the same time feel a deep envy of those who can afford to search, find and buy the car they dreamed of as a child.

Italian elegance with American muscle, what a great combination. A reliable Italian car, I LOVE it!

The whole video is just pure art. "This car is not just sheet metal and materials like leather. This car has a soul, it's like a very, very close friend to me." But this line gives the chills.

Unfassbar elegant. Die Marke weckt bei mir Kindheitserinnerungen. Mein Vater fuhr mal eine kurze Zeit einen Fidia. Der Rivolta von 1968 ist natürlich um ein vielfaches schöner und eleganter.

Meine Heimatstadt Hamburg und ein perfektes Auto. Was will man mehr. Es ist immer ein Genuss dieses Fahrzeug auf den Straßen zu sehen und zu hören. Danke für dieses schöne Video. Ein Hamburger Jung.

I had an Iso Rivolta..my daily driver in LA. I love that this vid captures the spirit of the car, the dash lights at night.. the Zen of being one with the vehicle.

Großartiges Fahrzeug und ein Besitzer dem die Liebe zum Automobil im Blute liegt. Ein wahrhaft leidenschaftlicher Fahrer für den ich nichts als Anerkennung und Verbundenheit empfinden kann. Danke für dieses Video.

Holy shit, gave me goosebumps! Probably your most beautiful video to this day. A German gentleman driving an Italian beauty with an American heart. What's not to love!? :) Thank you for this gem, @petrolicious

Iso is one thee car manufacters that more intrigred me. A manufacter that in 20 year of existence put in the world 5 models that are just breathtaking... four of them at least, but the other was a simbol, and a very important car.

The car is sweet and soulful, but let me say this..Hamburg, what a city! Miss it so much, the quintessence of a port city drenched with industrial charm. Leeve lütte Hamborch!

Danke für das schöne Video. Genau so fühle ich auch nach dem ich vor 40 Jahren einen IR340 als Wrack unterm Holderbusch gefunden habe.

My first time ever seeing this car, and now one of my all time faves. I have loved the Grifo for a while. But this car is such a special mash up of dream components and style. Even though I love a small liter 12 cylinder Italian, this is awesome with the US V8. What a sound. It is like an Italian mustang.

herrliches Auto - herrlicher Film - herrliche Szenerie zwei Minuten länger mit pureSound und mehr Focus-Schärfe auf dem Auto und ein paar Details im Licht wären perfekt. Das Armaturenbrett zB ist zum Niederknien. Dem Eigner meinen Glückwunsch zum herausragenden Geschmack.

Tim's Enthusiast Garage's comment is perfect, so thank you. The ISO Grifo has always been my dream car, but I didn't realise until now that the ISO Rivolta is also my dream car. 2 dream cars? Why not! They are ISO's after all :)

"Void of any envy". Mein Freund, you are a bit naiive, although I get what you're trying to say. I deeply hope you'll keep that car forever. It's a real beauty that comes only rarely in life, if at all.

Another beautifully filmed video, a joy to watch, at 5 mins perfectly edited. Wonderful cars, and owners, in every film too.

das waren die richtigen Autos. 5400 ccm v8, 300 ps. Keine Notbeatmung, plastik u. downsized 4.0 v8 biturbo 600 ps & Co. Ein echter Sauger V8. Traumhaft.

Great car, great owner. Brutal sound

Gorgeous car.. would have liked to hear that V8 a bit more;-) Thanks again Petrolicious!

A magnificent and rare car in the hands of an admiring owner! Very much done to Petrolicious standards!

Other marques have done the Italian styling/American power thing (i.e. Pantera of which I'm not really a fan) but nobody does it like Iso (possibly Bizzarrini?) I used to think I preferred the Iso Grifo over the Rivolta, but after this video I'm not so sure. I'm just glad to see that with the help of sites like Petrolicious, the Iso's seem to finally be getting the respect in America that they've always deserved.

I love all Fuck You Enzo Ferrari marques. My favorite however is Monteverdi. Why because Peter Monteverdi was a importer of Ferraris for Switzerland. His machines like Renzo Rivoltas, and Giotto Bizzarinis came about to do one thing...Take Down the Horse. All of these man plus Ferruccio Lamborghini had a beef with Ole E Ferrari. Hell Ole Bizz worked for both Enzo and Ferruccio before telling them both to fuck off.

These engines were not stock. Stock they would melt down at sustained high speeds. When Bizzarini called GM to discuss solutions, they said - don't drive fast for a long time. He reworked the engines.

True but you can make American V8s last forever at sustained racing speeds though. Ford did it four years in a row back then and Corvette has won the GT class at LM idk how many times now. Tbh though, for me, the most exciting engine right now, is a Mercury Marine LS7 design 427 but with DOHC. Best of both worlds, 750 hp N/A, sold as a turn-key for $29,000 and marine stout so will last forever.

Amazing Soothing sounds of that motor.. :-J

Surprised the hell out of me to learn this gorgeous car has a 327 SBC under the hood. The reality of affordable engine parts and arguably the best small block Chevy ever built makes me want an Iso so much more.

Lots of Jaguar under the wheel arches. S-Type uprights and brakes, steering box and diff housing and half-shafts at the rear. Nice upgrades on brakes and steering therefore pretty easy. Many years since I played with one.

Great sounding and beautiful car. The name seems like something that would be in GTA but spelled like Revolta.

Worked my way through school into my 20's at UPS. Saturdays I would "Saturday Delivery" drive on Bainbridge Island. One of my frequent stops had his garage on the side of his house open- I looked at him and asked "Is that an Iso?" He responded with a quizzical look, "Yes, it's a Grifo, matches the Rivolta next to it." Sure a shit...
