AutoItalia – January 2019

Our cover car this month is Eugenio Amos’s incredible two-door Lancia integrale Futurista ‘restomod’, as tested by WRC champion, Miki Biasion. Did he like it? We also drive another integrale-based car, Zagato’s laugh-out-loud Hyena, while we love Alfa’s new Stelvio Quadrifoglio over epic roads in Scotland. We’ve assembled three special versions of modern Alfa and Fiat classics – GTV Cup, Brera Prodrive S and Fiat Coupe 20V Turbo Plus – and revisit a classic from the 1970s, the brilliant Alfasud Sprint Veloce. The Monza name appears more than once in this issue, with Ferraris from the 1950s (860 Monza racer) and the 21st century (new Monza SP1 and SP2). Add in a buyers’ guide to the Abarth and Fiat 124 Spider, the latest show and race action, and dozens of cars for sale, and your feast of Italian cars is complete!
