Description
It was 50 years ago that Ferrari put its first V8 engine in a road car – a great reason to celebrate with four generations of V8 Ferraris, from 308 GT4 to SF90. There’s much more Ferrari action this month with stories on triumph at Le Mans, driving a Purosangue and the 1963 250 GTE Le Mans pace car. Featured Alfa Romeos this month include the 1900 Matta 4×4 and Brera. We also test two Fiats that think they’re Abarths – an Uno Turbo and Seicento Turbo – as well as the new Abarth 500e. Add in a tribute to the late Giotto Bizzarrini and loads of Italian car event reports and it’s another great month for Auto Italia enthusiasts.
