AutoItalia Magazine Issue 305 Retour à l'édition précédente

Italians cars are at their best at the extremes – small cars on the one hand and supercars on the other – and this month’s issue is bursting with Italian extremes. Fizzing with brio is our group test of tiny pocket rocket hot hatches, as the Autobianchi A112 Abarth faces up to the Innocenti De Tomaso Turbo and Fiat Seicento Abarth. At the other extreme is the full back story of the new Ferrari 812 Competizione limited edition, plus a UK test of the F8 Tributo and expert analysis of Maranello’s automated gearboxes. In between, we check out five Cloverleaf-badged Alfas for accessible fun, while three Alfa Giulia GT coupes go head to head. And we find out how 404hp feels through the front wheels of AlfaWorks’ new MiTo racer. This month also features an exclusive interview with Marella Rivolta, creator of the new ISO Rivolta GTZ, tests of two new Maserati saloons and the amazing story of Enzo’s first ever car, the AAC 815. From babies to the big guns, Auto Italia has it all covered!
