The 2026 edition
Italian cars, researched from the beginning
A new, independent reference to the cars, engineers and design houses that shaped Italy's motor industry—guided by the best subjects from this domain's original e‑zine, but written and sourced afresh.
New buying and reference guides
Practical ownership research now sits alongside the model archive, with five newly rebuilt guides spanning classics, sports saloons, grand tourers and supercars.
Explore the marques
Seven makers, one design culture, and very different answers to what an Italian car should be.
Alfa Romeo
Competition, engineering and the 61-model historic index recovered from the former site.
Ferrari
Road-car guides from the 250 and Dino families through the F430 and 599 generation.
Fiat
The people's cars that put Italy on wheels, plus the sporting and design stories around them.
Abarth
Carlo Abarth, small-capacity competition cars and the model names that still cause confusion.
Lancia
Engineering-led cars from the Lambda to the Delta, and the complicated history around them.
Maserati and Lamborghini
Grand tourers, supercars and two very different readings of Italian performance.
A recovered map, not recovered copy
The first italiancar.net was an English-language e‑zine active mainly from 2003 to 2008. Its archived structure contains more than 900 captured URLs: news, features, marque histories, road tests and large model “FACTfile” sections. Later versions of the domain were unrelated, and the original articles do not belong to the present owner.
We use that historic URL map to decide what deserves a modern destination. The writing here is new, factual claims are linked to sources, and an old address receives a permanent redirect only when the rebuilt page covers the same subject. Read the domain history and editorial policy.
