Description
Issue 311 – January 2022.
Our cover story this month is a very special Lancia Delta integrale: a Group A rally car so good that it deeply impressed the Italians at the recent Rallylegend event. Two modern classics from Alfa Romeo also feature: the Brera Prodrive S (both 2.2 and 3.2 V6 versions) and the much misunderstood 4C, about which we have a full buying guide. One of the most iconic classic Ferraris – the 156 ‘Sharknose’ F1 car – is joined this month by a UK drive in a very modern Prancing Horse, the Roma. Lamborghini has celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Countach by recreating the original 1971 LP 500 – we have the full story – and you can also read all you’ll ever need to know about Gandini’s extraordinary Maserati Chubasco prototype. Fiat fans will revel in a ‘gravel test’ in a genuine works Stilo Abarth Trofeo, while we have full reports on our Brooklands Italian Car Day and a drive in an Alfa SZ to the Italian Alps. Fun? For sure!
