Auto Italia Magazine - Auto Italia Issue 346

In this issue

It’s been quite the month for Ferrari. We’re at the unveiling of the new F80 1200hp hypercar in Maranello, and we’ve also got our first chance to drive the new 12Cilindri – and both cars are truly amazing. Here’s a beautiful story: one man who’s collected three spectacular, bright yellow Lancia restomods, one for each of his children. Another very special car under the microscope this month is Autodelta’s burly Alfetta GTV Turbodelta, while at the opposite end of Alfa’s lineage is the new Junior EV. We have an exclusive, too: blitzing Maserati’s new GT2 Stradale around the track in Italy. You may never have heard of Ezio Cingolani but we tell his story as a true hero of the Italian concept car scene. We celebrate Fiat’s 125th birthday in style and, as ever, bring you all the latest event reports and news about Italian cars.
