Description
Issue 321 – November 2022.
It’s a huge month for Ferrari, as the covers come off the new Purosangue, Ferrari’s first production four-door – we’ve seen it and we’ve reached our verdict. We’re also proud to reveal the full story behind the mysterious figure who designed such Ferrari greats as the 250 GT SWB, 275 GTB, P4 and more. More down to earth, we have a cracking triple test of three iconic 1960s coupes from Alfa, Fiat and Lancia, and an Alfa Spider twin test – literally, as they have consecutive chassis numbers! Another twin test is a Lamborghini V12 back-to-back – Countach versus Diablo. We celebrate 50 years of Fiat’s everyman X1/9 sports car, introduce a new Fiat 500 electric to our fleet and have a brilliant story on a man who’s owned 55 Fiats in a row. There’s plenty of Italian event action this month, too, from Festival Italia to National Alfa Day. All in all, an unmissable issue!
