Here at Auto Italia we love the Lancia Rally 037, so we were itching with excitement to drive the new Kimera EVO37, a reinvented ‘restomod’ with modern mechanicals – we hope our exclusive road test will excite you as much as it did us. It’s 50 years since Alfa Romeo launched its seminal Alfasud and we celebrate with a big, fact-filled, ‘never-knew-that’ feature, as well as driving two South African Alfasud rarities: GTA and Giardinetta estate. Even rarer is the one-off Maggiora Punto Grama 2 based on a Lancia integrale. Ferrari fans can revel in a road test of the ex-Gerhard Berger Testarossa and a report from the first Cavallino Classic concours to be held in Italy. We also praise the 100th anniversary of Lancia’s ground-breaking Lambda – the world’s first truly modern car. We also test the latest Lamborghini and Abarth models and have reports from such diverse events as the Classic Alfa Challenge, Silverstone Classic, Motor Valley Fest in Italy and the Shelsley Walsh Italian Night.
