AutoItalia Magazine Issue 340 Edizione posteriore

Hold the front page: Alfa Romeo’s all-new compact SUV is here. When we went to Italy for its unveiling, it was presented as the Milano, but its production name is now Junior – and we have a full profile. We wind the clock back to the 1970s for a celebration of rallying, as we compare the Lancia Stratos HF with its successor, the Fiat 131 Abarth Rally. We also look back at the career of the late, great Marcello Gandini with a full retrospective of the incomparable designer. Ferrari enthusiasts will salivate over the SP30 one-off, while Lamborghini fans can learn the inside story of the LM002’s development. We feature loads of Alfas this month, from the 2600 Sprint to the Arna, the 156 GTA to the Tonale, while also looking back at lost Lancia coupe designs. Finally, we hitch a ride in a 1907 Targa Florio winning Fiat. Add in events, news, cars for sale and more, and you have a tasty Italian recipe served to perfection!
