AutoItalia Magazine Issue 259 Zurück Ausgabe

By complete coincidence, we have two features this month on blue Alfa Romeos badged ‘Giulia Veloce’. They’re separated by over 50 years: one is a 1964 Spider; the other the brand new Giulia Veloce saloon. That evocative ‘Veloce’ badge really sums up what Alfas have always been about: the pure joy of driving. The new 280hp Giulia Veloce is not only fast but also the sweet spot in the new Giulia range. Another pairing separated by several decades is the rally Abarth 124 Spiders – the new 2017 Abarth 124 Spider R-GT and the classic 1974 Fiat 124 Abarth Spider. On the evidence of the new Giulia Veloce and the 124 Spider, Alfa Romeo and Abarth seem to be heading in the right direction.
