Here’s the catch, it can’t be a Ferrari, Lamborghini or Pagani.

Mine would have to be the Lancia 037 Stradale because it was basically a road-legal rally car.

For beauty: Lancia Fulvia

For performance and “uhh…what is that/it’s a platypus on wheels!”: B Engineering Edonis (Seriously, look it up.) It isn’t pretty but I recall at the time it was an incredibly well-received car, one of Italy’s best until the Zonda came along...

Alfa 164 QV. Yes the FWD one with the tiny wheels....

Or a Maserati Shamal.

Wow I’ve never seen one of those before! Very different looking indeed.

This is based off the 8C correct?

The Fiat 500 nuova! Everytime I see one I want to give it a hug! It’s like the automotive equivalent of a golden retriever puppy!

yeah they stripped almost everything away except I think the windsheild and underlying structure.

My younger brother has always been obsessed with the Pantera, a nice car indeed.

So basically an Alfa or Lancia... 8C or 037, or Stratos or 4C, my god

I always admired this car, Maserati needs to make another.

That’s a really pretty Fiat.

Yeah its one of the best looking and best sounding cars around IMO.

Shit wait I forgot about Maserati, goddamn it it’s the MC12 and MC12 GT1 all along

Yes they do. I will completely forget this car exists then something will remind me about it, and I get all excited and fall in love with it again. It’s weird but it works.

The best part about the car is that you wouldn’t expect something like this from Maserati.

Alfa Romeo GTV6

Fiat 500 Abarth 695 SS, it might be tiny and cute, but underneath it’s a 75% scale 911 race car and it’s not going take shit from anyone!

I’m also quite partial to Matt Farah’s million mile Lexus:

Can’t decide: Alfa Romeo 8C, DeTomaso Mangusta.

Yes and no, if you go way back in time Maserati was huge in F1, up until the mid 50’s they regularly raced and won in F1 , the Mille Miglia, and GT racing. After the ‘57 Mille Miglia they pretty much withdraw from all racing. The MC12 really was a return to their roots. A beautiful amazing return to their roots.

That was my point, at the time there wasn’t any expectation for a car like this to come from them since the rest of their lineup was nothing but luxury coupes and sedans.

Ferrari, Lamborghini and Pagani don’t even enter my radar space.

(I may have said this before but)...

The answer to my favourite Italian (and is my all-time favourite) car is the...

1955 Lancia Aurelia B24 Spider America (I would accept a Spider also).

I mean look at it. It should be declared by UNESCO as a piece of outstanding natural beauty.

Both of my choices have been taken: 33 Stradale and 037 Stradale, so I’ll say 4C. I went to a dealer to see one recently and stared at it from different angles for over half an hour, without realizing it. Take a beautiful Evo sound clip because I do wish the 4C sounded like this instead though:

Cizeta V16t - the original Diablo!

Troll mode slightly on - Ettiore was Italian and Bugatti was Italian-owned in the 90s, so:
