AutoItalia Magazine Issue 296 Vorige editie

Our cover cars this month are two superb ‘restomod’ examples of Alfa Romeo’s Alfetta GTV 6 – both are significantly uprated and we find out how well they drive. It’s the same story with Alfa’s revised 2020 Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio models, which we drive on UK roads for the first time. Then we’re in Italy to drive the new Ferrari Roma – turns out it’s not just elegant but a surprisingly good sports car, too. We profile a highly significant Ferrari 250 GT SWB, while Enzo Ferrari’s name features prominently in our exclusive story about the unique Fiat Ritmo Q-car he personally used on the road. A classic twin cam-engined pairing appears in the form of a superb Fiat 124 Sport Spider and Fiat 124 Coupe. And ahead of Maserati’s all-new MC20 mid-engined road-racer, we profile all of Maserati’s racing ‘middies’ from 1961 onwards. As well as getting out and about – at last! – on some rallies and events, you can also read the latest Italian car news and book reviews, and browse dozens of cars and parts for sale.
