Issue 326 – April 2023.
What is the greatest Ferrari ever designed? That’s the question we’re answering in astonishing detail in this month’s Auto Italia. Over no fewer than 21 pages, we break down who were the design heroes behind such all-time greats as the 166 MM, 250 GT Lusso and 365 GT/4 Daytona. We also mark the 102-year collaboration between Zagato and Alfa Romeo with two big features – including an exclusive interview with Andrea Zagato about the superb new Giulia SWB Zagato. Another classic Alfa reviewed this month is an Autodelta-prepared Alfasud Sprint racer. It’s a big moment for Maserati as it launches its all-new 2023 GranTurismo – we’ve now driven it and our verdict is in! Two very different Abarths are under the spotlight, too: an incredible Abarth Simca and the new electric 500e. We also look back at the Fiat Uno’s launch 40 years ago and revel in a Lancia Fulvia HF’s famous victory at this year’s Rallye Monte-Carlo.
