What 10 cars would be in your dream garage? That’s what we asked more than 30 industry experts – find out why Italian cars absolutely dominated their votes. Just when Ferrari is starting to dominate F1, we celebrate a huge month for the Prancing Horse by testing the new F8 Tributo and reporting on the launch of two new convertibles, the F8 Spider and 812 GTS. Alfettas are among our favourite Alfa Romeos, so we leapt at the chance to tack-test two GTV racers, plus a classic Giulia Ti. We also have the full story of Pininfarina’s amazing Alfa Romeo 6C SuperFlow. On the Fiat front, there’s a mighty battle between three generations of hot hatch – Strada Abarth 130TC, Tipo Sedicivalvole and Bravo HGT – plus a celebration of the Fiat 131 and a test of the new Fiat 500X Sport. Add in a story on the Lancia Flavia, a full report on our Brands Hatch Festival Italia show and many more events, and it’s another amazing month of Italian action.
