Description
The drama is intense this month, with not one but two unlikely rally cars: our striking cover image is a Lancia Delta S4 Stradale converted to rally spec and campaigned at Monte Carlo, while we also check out an Alfa Giulietta 116 rally car. We test drive two new Alfas this month: the 1 of 10 Giulia Quadrifoglio Luna Rossa and the new Junior Sport Speciale. We also head to Italy to drive the latest Maseratis – and if you want to know the futures of both Maserati and Alfa, read our exclusive interview with the CEO of both brands. Two anniversaries are ticked off in style this month. The Fiat Topolino is 90, so we bring it together with the all-new 2027 Topolino, freshly available in the UK. And as the Lamborghini Miura turns 60, we take a dream drive in Italy. Classic rarities include a wonderful Lancia Superjolly minibus and the full story of the unique Alfa Romeo Abarth 1000. And with the glorious summer of 2026 in full swing, we bring you full reports from the most exciting events.
