AutoItalia Magazine Issue 320 Edição anterior

Yellow and blue are the colours of the Ukrainian flag, but they’re also the colours of Modena – and of our main cover cars, the star children of Modena’s finest car maker. The new Maserati MC20 meets the first ever mid-engined model from the Trident brand, the 1971 Bora. At the opposite end of the spectrum – but every bit as exciting – is a group test of Abarth 500s and 595s, all of which are tuned to deliver even more fun than standard. Another very surprising baby Fiat is a 1937 Topolino ‘sleeper’ hot rod with a 180hp twin-cam engine under the bonnet! Italian metal takes a back seat to plastic as we investigate glassfibre cars made in Italy, from the Ferrari 308 Vetroresina to coachbuilt one-offs. Alfa Romeo fans will revel in our test of a unique 8C Competizione; a report on this year’s Classic Alfa racing series; and the rare Alfa Plus Alfasud. Add in event reports from the UK and Italy, plus the latest news, interviews and book reviews, and you really couldn’t wish for more!
