Issue 314 – April 2022.
Fiat makes great small cars. Arguably it has always made the best pocket rockets, too – and our back-to-back of the Uno Turbo, Punto GT and Abarth F595 showcase three generations of brilliant tiny turbo tearaways. We’ve got the full inside story on Alfa Romeo’s exciting new Tonale, and not only do we celebrate 50 years of the Alfetta with a five-car group test but also the very first Alfetta – the 158 Grand Prix car. Design fans will revel in the crème de la crème of Pinin Farina’s output from the 1950s, penned by an almost unknown hand – Francesco Salomone – while Michelotti’s Ferrari 400i-based Meera S gets a full profile. We’ve been on two memorable road trips this month, blasting around Scotland in Lamborghinis and from London to Brighton with Club LanciaSport – as well as going to see some classic Monte Carlo rallying. Yes, it’s another action-packed month!
