AutoItalia Magazine Issue 348 Vorige editie

Our cover car this month is the Alfa Romeo Montreal, the only recipient – after the Tipo 33 – of Alfa’s fabulous V8 engine, which we analyse in depth. The Alfa Romeo Giulietta is given a full buyers’ guide, too. Two fabulous classic restoration stories come from very different perspectives: a humble but beautiful Fiat 124 berlina and a stunning Maserati 3500GT concours winner. Fans of Ferrari and exotic cars will be delighted by a tranche of new photos and information on Prince Jefri of Brunei’s immense collection of supercars. We also analyse the ‘wedge’ design school, from Alfa Romeo Carabo to Bertone Ferrari 308 Rainbow, and we have an exclusive on the stillborn De Tomaso Vallelunga II. Two new Lamborghinis go under the microscope this month – Temerario and Urus SE – while we interview Abarth chiefs about the new 600e. And of course, we have event reports from Brooklands to Bologna, all the latest news, cars for sale and much more. Happy new year!
