Description
Issue 319 – September 2022.
Is it really 25 years since Alfa Romeo launched the 156? Yes indeed – and the Alfa 156 is a silver jubilee worth celebrating: this emerging classic is universally liked. We also get behind the wheel of Alfa’s new Tonale up the hill at Goodwood – and of course we have a full report of all the new and classic Italian cars at the Festival of Speed. It’s a big month for Lamborghini stories. We drive André Villas-Boas’ Miura P400 and investigate the inspirations of designer Marcello Gandini. We also say ‘arrivederci’ to the Lamborghini Aventador with a drive of the run-out Ultimae. Our other main cover story this month is an incredible pairing of Maserati GranTurismos, including a bonkers MC Trofeo racer converted to road use. We also drive the latest Ferrari hybrids – 296 GTB & SF90 Spider – to Le Mans. Add in all the latest Italian car news, events and staff car reports and you have all the ingredients you need for hours of classic Italian enjoyment!
