Description
Issue 322 – December 2022.
Thirty years ago, Maserati launched its Ghibli II – the car that the Biturbo should have been all along, as we find out with a triple test of 2.8 GT, Ghibli Cup and racer. You can also meet its current-day successor by reading the full story of the all-new 2023 GranTurismo. Fiat and Alfa Romeo both made great family four-door saloons in the 1970s with the 128 and Alfasud – but which do we prefer today? Two more Alfa stories are a first UK drive of the Tonale SUV and a report on ‘Tribe Days’ in Italy that celebrated Monza circuit’s 100th anniversary, and Alfa’s 112th. We also check into the Lancia Beta’s 50th birthday party. Exotic car fans will love two newcomers with very different takes, both on test this month: Ferrari’s new 296 GTS and the revived Bizzarrini 5300 GT Corsa. You can also luxuriate in spectacular imagery from a new book by Piotr Degler, readers’ cars, club gatherings, events and all the latest news – including how you can now visit the FCA Heritage Hub in Turin for the first time.
