There’s a certain ‘electrifying’ thread to this month’s issue. We’ve been driving not only a 1970 Fiat 500 converted to battery power, but also a monster 450hp Tesla-powered electric Ferrari 308 – very fitting since Ferrari has just launched its hybrid-powered SF90 Stradale. There’s lots of Alfa Romeo Giulia action with a full used car buyers’ guide and a test of the new Quadrifoglio-lookalike Veloce Ti. We celebrate 70 years of Abarth racers and drive the all-new Abarth 595 esseesse. Then we tell the story of a very special Lamborghini Miura SV, drive a supercharged Alfa 156 GTA and get nostalgic in a Lancia Augusta. And show season is now in full swing – read our report on Auto Italia’s annual Italian Car Day at Brooklands, where 6000 visitors saw some amazing cars and action.

Auto Italia magazine is dedicated to the owner, collector and admirer of Italian cars. From Fiat to Ferrari and Alfa Romeo to Zagato, all marques presented in this high quality publication are supported by specially commissioned original photography.

Each issue is brought to you by a team of writers and photographers who have a passion for all things Italian; the country, the lifestyle, the cars. Each one of them has a background of either Italian car ownership, motor racing or engineering.

The informative content covers new car launches, road and track tests of historic, classic and current range cars, competition cars, buyers guides and interviews with prominent personalities.

Auto Italia is a collectable, continuous history of the Italian automotive industry and is unique in publishing in-depth features on the specialist coachbuilders that created a seemingly endless catalogue of vehicles. Many of these cars are unknown to even the most dedicated Italian car enthusiast and are often presented with previously unpublished archive photography.
