AutoItalia Magazine Issue 286 Edición anterior

Tragic – that’s the only way to describe Lancia’s inexplicable decision not to launch its wonderful Fulvia for the 2000s – and we have the full story this month, as well as two gorgeous 1970s Fulvia classics. In the Alfa Romeo camp, we compare the new Giulia TI with the 159 TI 1750 TBi, and revisit an underrated classic Alfa, the 2600 saloon. We’re big on Abarth this issue, with a visit to Abarth Days in Milan and a test of the new 695 70th edition. Fiat fans can revel in a time-warp 850T Camper and come with us on an epic Scottish adventure in a Fiat 500. Exotic? You can’t get much exotic than Luigi Colani’s Ferrari Testarossa and Lamborghini Miura, while Ray Hutton recalls visiting the Lamborghini factory to drive the Espada and Countach. Meanwhile, we assess the Maserati Indy, a bargain from the brand’s classic era.
