AutoItalia Magazine Issue 276 Zurück Ausgabe

There’s a lot of Fiat action in our latest issue. We kick off with a triple test of three generations of hot Fiat Punto, then back that up with a round-up of hot Fiats from around the world – how many have you heard of? Then a little Fiat-Abarth 595 forms part of a collection of amazing Italian racing cars. Speaking of which, the Alfa Romeo TZ and TZ2 racers have their story fully told, while our annual Autumn Motorsport Festival is reviewed. After 50 years hiding away in an Italian castle, surely the ultimate ‘barn find’ must be Count Volpi’s sensational trio of Serenissima GTs. We’ve also imported a rare Alfa 156 from Japan, driven the Lamborghini Urus on UK roads (and off them!), plus we have the full gen on Vignale’s extraordinary Ferrari 330 GT estate car. Bellissima!
