Description
Who doesn’t love a Lancia Delta integrale with Martini livery?
Our amazing triple test pitches two Martin special edition road cars alongside the very rally car that Miki Biasion campaigned in the 1991 WRC season. Alfa Romeo enthusiasts have plenty to cheer about this month, with Alfa unveiling its new Cuorerosso concept. We also retrieve the Alfasud Caimano from its museum podium for an exclusive photo shoot, and we’re deeply impressed by a subtle Giulia Sprint GT restomod. Gordon Murray tells us all about his huge Italian classic car collection, from Abarth to Zagato. Streamlined record-breakers are in the spotlight, too. New car tests include the Fiat 500 Hybrid (is too slow?), 500e MY2027 (is it too expensive?) and Lamborghini Urus SE Performante (is it too fast?). Add in reports on summer shows, news, cars for sale and our events diary for 2027, and we’re serving up the perfect Italian feast. Buon appetito!
