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 4x4 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.
