Boldly emblazoning our cover this month is Fiat’s 131 Abarth Stradale, as we reveal the secrets behind this road-going version of Abarth’s rally star. Exclusively, we get to experience the wonderful Fiat 500 Coupe Zagato and ask its creator, Roberto Giolito, why it tragically never reached production. Alfisti will love our stories on a race-winning Trofeo Alfasud and the one-of-a-kind Gilco-based Alfa Romeo 6C Ghia Supergioiello. Next we celebrate 90 years of Pininfarina by selecting the best creations of each of its star designers, from Battista himself to Paolo Martin. We also have an amazing story about lost prototype Lamborghinis – we guarantee you won’t have seen some of these before! Ferrari fans can enjoy the story of Vignale’s sensual Ferrari 225 S Berlinetta and you can read why the Ferrari FF is such a bargain at the moment. Add in events as varied as the Rallye Monte-Carlo Classique, Rétromobile and a £500 Fiat/Alfa Yorkshire buy-drive challenge, and we reckon we’ve your Italian car appetites satisfied.
