AutoItalia Magazine Issue 315 Edição anterior

2022 marks the 75th anniversary of Ferrari and to celebrate we’ve plenty about Prancing Horses in this month’s issue. Not only do we have a full road and track test of the new 296 GTB – Ferrari’s first ever V6 road car – but we do a run-down of the 75 greatest cars ever made at Maranello. We have news of three more highly important newcomers this month: SUVs from Alfa Romeo (Tonale) and Maserati (Grecale), plus 2023’s Maserati GranTurismo (with fully 1200hp). Turning the clock back to the early 1960s, we compare three six-cylinder coupe legends: the Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint, Fiat 2300 S Coupe and Lancia Flaminia Coupe. And as Fiat’s 126 turns 50 years old, we defend a much-maligned city car. Another car being defended is the Alfa 159 3.2 V6, with one owner asking whether its V6 engine is in fact just as good as a Busso. We also have big features on Italian-designed British cars (think Aston Zagato and AC Frua) and the Alfa 75 Turbo-engined Michelotti Pura one-off.
