AutoItalia Magazine Issue 317 Edição anterior

Our cover this month announces a ‘Two Prancing Horse Race’ as we decide whether the little-fancied Ferrari 348 might actually be a better choice than its more illustrious successor, the F355. We bring the mid-engined V8 Ferrari story bang up to date with a road and track test of the mighty, 1000hp SF90 Stradale Assetto Fiorano. Alfa Romeo fans will be dying to know how the new Tonale drives – our verdict is in – while we get behind the scenes of a major new Alfa TV film that features our very own editor!. There’s a Fiat/Alfa face-off with the Brava and 146 battling it out for 1990s hatchback honours, while we test the latest Fiat 500X and Tipo hybrids. Exclusive to Auto Italia is a proposed revival of OSCA – called the R 70 – based on the Fiat 124 Spider, while we also celebrate 40 years of Lancia’s all-conquering Rally 037. Show season is now in full swing, so there’s lots to catch up on, from our own huge Brooklands event to Goodwood and Salon Privé.
