AutoItalia Magazine Issue 329 Vorige editie

What would an Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider GTA have been like if the factory had actually built it? That’s the tantalising question answered by this month’s cover car, the unbelievable Alfaholics Spider R. From a sublime Alfa, next we travel to a troubled one, celebrating 25 years of the 166 saloon. Ferrari fans have two delights this month: the inside story of the very first 365 GTB4 Daytona prototype and an extensive interview with the designer of the Testarossa, Diego Ottina. New cars on test include the bonkers Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato, Maserati’s sublime new MC20 Cielo roadster and the Grecale. Now that summer has definitely arrived, we push the boat out with a photo story on classic Italian beach cars, from Fiat Ghia Jolly to buggies. And with the 2023 show season in full swing, we bring you full reports on Auto Italia’s Brooklands Italian Car Day, AROC’s Spring Alfa Day and twin celebrations in Italy: Autodelta’s 60th birthday and 100 years of the Quadrifoglio badge.
