AutoItalia Magazine Issue 351 Edición anterior

With the Alfa Romeo 75 celebrating its 40th birthday and the Alfa 159 passing 20 years, we’re revelling in Alfa Romeo saloon goodness this month, with no fewer than five generations on test – 75, 155, 156, 159 and Giulia. Abarth fans will love out interview with Lincoln Small, the man who brought Abarth to Britain in 1965, and met Carlo himself. Abarth’s future is here, too, with the new 600e, which we test on UK roads. Marcello Gandini’s quirky Maserati Quattroporte IV is given a full appraisal via three cars with V6 and V8 engines, while two modern Maserati models – GranCabrio and Grecale – go back-to-back in V6 and EV guises. We have plenty of 1970s V8 supercar action, too, with a Group B rally Ferrari 308 GTB and the story of the Lamborghini Jalpa, including the never-realised Jalpa Spider and more. Fancy owning a Fiat Barchetta? Then you have to read our full buyers’ guide this month. And look in our classifieds to see what’s for sale!
