AutoItalia Magazine Issue 312 Retour à l'édition précédente

Two beautiful early 1980s Italian classics star on our cover this month: the Alfa Romeo Alfetta GTV 6 and Lancia Gamma Coupe. But which one do we prefer? Find out in our exclusive road test. There’s a distinct supercar flavour to this month’s issue, too. We’ve been to Italy to witness the unveiling of Ferrari’s sensational new Daytona SP3 at the Finali Mondiali, as well as driving the new Maserati MC20 over some legendary passes in Tuscany. We also tell the scarcely believable tale of Italy’s last 16-cylinder car, the Cizeta Moroder V16T. From the heart of the 1950s come a mysterious and unique Ferrari 195 Inter and a collection of ultra-rare Bandini sports and racing cars. And we drive a rally-prepared Fiat 124 Sport Coupe. We also have some exciting and exclusive news: an interview with designer Roberto Giolito about Abarth Classiche’s new Alfa 4C-based 1000 SP, which enters production this year. A round-up of all the latest events completes a month we’ll remember for many years.
