The Truth is Out There
Richard Heseltine test drives two of Alfa’s current range cars fitted with the Q2 Torsen diff, the GT and yet another bargain 147 limited edition, the 147 Sport.

Milestone Engines
A new series of features on classic Italian engines written by John Simister and featuring superb studio photography by Tim Andrew. The first subject is the much respected Alfa Romeo Twin Cam.

Edoardo Bianchi
The Bianchi company made a significant contribution to Italian automotive engineering. They built bicycles, racing motor cycles, cars, trucks and military vehicles. All that remains of them is the racing bicycle concern, which is but a shadow of their former empire. Simon Park considers the company and describes a rare S5 Torpedo that belongs to a collector in Milan.

La Dolce Vita
The Maserati GranTurismo certainly looks the part. Its stunning appearance is sure to tempt the rich and famous who want to cruise the Riviera, but does it go as well as it looks? John Simister is on the case.

Racing Yellow
A rare ex-Garage Francorchamps Ferrari 500 TRC is made available for Roberto Giordanelli to fling around our test track. This car was raced at Le Mans in period but has covered many more miles since proving just how durable and reliable these old cars are.

Under the Hammer
RM Auctions really put themselves on the international auction map with their amazing Maranello sale. Now they are coming to London in October and we test drove one of the star cars – the first and the finest Ferrari 250 Nembo Spider.

Ride with the Devil
Reiter Engineering are well known to Auto Italia readers as the team that run Lamborghinis in the FIA GT Championship. In addition to the modern machinery that also have a retired Diablo GTR which they use to frighten sponsors. Roberto Giordanelli takes it for a blast around the Salzburgring.

Buyers Guide
A revival of our series of in-depth features on owning and running recent Italian cars. This month we have the Fiat Coupe. It was something of an instant classic when new but how good are they today?
