AutoItalia Magazine Issue 328 Edizione posteriore

Two classic car group tests make this month’s Auto Italia unmissable. Fans of flares and Spangles will swoon at our 1970s coupe triple test, as the Fiat 128 3P faces up to the Alfasud Sprint and Lancia Beta Coupe. Which one wins? Fast-forward two decades and we pitch five five-cylinder modern classics against each other, including the Fiat Coupe 20vT, Stilo Abarth and diesel Alfa Spider. It’s a brave soul who declares anything ‘the world’s best’ but we reckon our millimetrically restored feature Ferrari 308 GTS is just that. We also look back at 30 years of the Fiat Punto and tell the roller-coaster story of the De Tomaso marque. New cars this month include Alfa’s Tonale Q4 and facelifted Giulia and Stelvio – all tested on UK roads – plus the new Lancia HPE and the long-awaited Lamborghini Revuelto. With the 2023 show season hotting up, it’s also time to enjoy the latest event reports as well as all the news in the world of Italian cars.
