AutoItalia Magazine  |  Issue 310
We’re ticking two boxes this month – boxy-shaped classics, that is, in the form of a back-to-back test of the Lancia Fulvia and Alfa Romeo Giulia saloons. Which one drives and feels better? Amazingly, it’s 40 years since Maserati stunned the world with the first-ever twin-turbo production car – we celebrate with a big group test of our four favourite Biturbo variants. We follow that with a blast in the latest twin-turbo Maserati: the 580hp Ghibli Trofeo. Two untold stories finally get their moment in the sun, too: a secret wartime 12-cylinder Alfa racer emerges from the shadows, while we recount how Abarth’s X1/9 Stradale prototype came achingly close to production. We drive a super-rare Vignale-bodied Ferrari 225 S and we’ve got reports from a great summer of events, from Festival Italia to Salon Privé to MITCAR, with Ferraris at Silverstone in the mix as well. All in all, this is a month of Italian car action at its most exciting!
