AutoItalia Magazine Issue 263 Vorige editie

With our heads still spinning after returning from the 5000-strong classic car show in Padova, we have a bumper issue of Italian classic cars this month. Our cover car is one that many people don’t know even existed: Alfa Romeo’s Montreal racing car. We enjoy a superb collection of classic Lancias, assess the status of the long-neglected Ferrari 250 GTE and visit Maranello for Ferrari’s own 70th anniversary concours – you won’t believe what won! New metal this issue includes the sensational new petrol-fuelled 430hp Maserati Levante S – take that, dieselgate – and a trio of very different Alfa Romeo Giulietta QVs, two of them with significant tuning.
