AutoItalia Magazine Issue 273 Edizione posteriore

Ferrari’s junior model, the Dino, celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, but there’s nothing ‘junior’ about the serious appeal of the Dino 246 GT (or the 308 GT4, for that matter). We have another mid-engined Ferrari in the 275 P Le Mans racer, and bring things bang up to date with the latest V12-powered 812 Superfast. We bring you a slice of 1970s rally heaven with the Lancia Fulvia HF, Lancia Stratos and Fiat 131 Abarth, get all tally-ho with a pre-war Fiat and drive what must be the best Alfa 75 in the UK. With tests of the latest models from Abarth and Fiat, plus loads of action from this summer’s Italian car shows, we think we’ve got all the bases covered!
