AutoItalia Magazine

We have plenty of striking-looking cars on this month’s cover, headed by a very special wide-body Alfa Romeo Junior Zagato. We’ve been to Portugal to test drive the latest Ferrari – the 12Cilindri Spider – and to Turin to drive Fiat’s all-new Grande Panda. Exclusive new research reveals whether it’s Ferrari or Lamborghini that wins the supercar sales battle over the last six decades, while we also celebrate six anniversaries of cars launched in 1985, from Alfa 75 to Lancia Delta S4. With prices starting as low as £15,000, the Maserati Levante is looking a mighty tempting used car buy – but what should you look out for? We also have stories on Alfa’s lost 512 GP racer, the 50th birthday of the Fiat 131 and reports on events like MITCAR and Interclassics. Blow away those winter blues with the latest green-white-and-red splash of colour in Auto Italia!
