AutoItalia Magazine Issue 313 Zurück Ausgabe

To drive one Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer is, for most, a life-long dream. To drive three BBs back-to-back is the stuff of impossible fantasy – but it’s the reality of this month’s cover story and an absolute treat to read. Another triple test this issue pitches three absolute legends of the 1990s against each other in North Yorkshire. Which of our ‘Masters of Grip’ did we prefer – Alfa Romeo SZ, Lancia Delta integrale or Maserati Ghibli Cup? We enjoy a first drive in Maserati’s new Grecale, a first taste of a dramatic new supercar from Italy, the Mazzanti Evantra, and take a riotous little Fiat-Abarth 1000 TC Corsa wide-body racer around the track. We’ve also been to Mugello to witness Ferrari’s 2021 season ender and report on the Festival Italiano show in the US. There’s a round-up of our roller-coaster rides in our own cars – from Fiat 124 to Alfa 147 GTA – and a surprising Fiat Seicento reader’s car. And finally, trivia fans, have we got a treat for you with six pages of little-known facts!
