The brand new Islero in 1968 had some big rivals to compete with, starting with the limited
built AC 428 Coupe and the handbuilt
Aston Martin DBS.
On the other hand the US-built Chevrolet Corvette was still
a direct rival on the important US market. As always the Ferrari 330 GTC
was still there, while the Jaguar E-Type II and the
Maserati Mistral 4000 were considered an important threath to
the powerfull Islero. Two other cars could be considered to be a problem for the Islero, but
the Iso Grifo GL and the
Monteverdi 375 S were only built in so little numbers that they never
really posed any problems.
