AutoItalia Magazine Issue 327 Retour à l'édition précédente

It’s a truly huge moment for Ferrari this month, as our cover hints: the Purosangue is touted as a ‘true’ Ferrari, but is it really? We’ve driven it in the Italian Dolomites and have reached our conclusion. A second newcomer from Maranello is the Roma Spider, while another snow-covered road trip takes Lamborghinis across Denmark and Sweden. In the 1960s, Italians did six-cylinder engines like nobody else and we’ve gathered three super-saloons from Alfa Romeo, Fiat and Lancia to see just who did it best. Heading further back into the 1950sm we have a story on the glorious Alfa 1900C SS Zagato, while advancing ahead is Bertone’s Alfa 33-based Carabo, fully profiled. We’ve got a whole load of modern Abarth action this month, as Charlie Butler-Henderson recalls his season in a Trofeo Abarth 500 racer, Nathan Chadwick drives a Brazil-only Abarth, and we run down weird Abarths you never knew about. Add in Lancia Delta integrale rally action, plus the latest shows and events, and you have an issue absolutely crammed with Italian classics to enjoy.
