AutoItalia Magazine Issue 287 Edizione posteriore

Our cover car this month is Lancia’s rally-conquering 037 – in fact, we feature no fewer than three 037s: two rally cars and one road-going Stradale, discovering why it was such a world-beater. Another brilliant Lancia from the same era is the Beta, which we put up against the Alfa Romeo Alfetta – which one wins? Other classics this issue include Fiat’s still-underestimated X1/9 sports car (on which we have a full buyers’ guide) and a test of Abarth’s new engine kit for the classic Fiat 500. In a frenzy of new car action, we report from Rome on the launch of the pivotal Ferrari Roma, test the latest 2020 Alfa Giulia and Stelvio, drive Lamborghini’s Huracán Evo and get on board the extreme Dallara Stradale. Add in a classic Ferrari 330 restoration, an interview with Roberto Giolito and show reports from around the world, and all your Italian car cravings are fulfilled.
