AutoItalia Magazine

A trio of Abarth 124 Spiders grace our cover this month, as classic meets modern: DTR’s 124 Corsa uses the 21st century Abarth 124 as a basis for a 1970s restomod that’s the best of both worlds. Talking of the 1970s, we have a bumper feature on the trio of Italian world champions of the glorious 1975 season, as Ferrari 312 T, Alfa 33 TT 12 and Lancia Stratos come together for the first time ever. Alfa enthusiasts will drool over the mysterious tale of the Alfetta GT V8, while we also report on a huge gathering of Alfa Montreals and test the new facelifted 2026 Alfa Tonale. Also on test is the Lamborghini Temerario. We recall the incredible Rio de Janeiro launch of the Fiat Uno Turbo, too. And don’t miss our event reports, from Silverstone Classic to Carlton Towers, and all the latest news including Alfa Romeo and Maserati joining forces to make all-new cars.
