The cover story reports on the past and the rebirth of the Alfa Romeo 1600 GTA, which won the touring car championship in 1966 and then disappeared. The April issue also covers topics such as the Porsche 356 from the original model to the last of its kind, 50 years of Lamborghini, Renault 40 CV NM, Aston Martin Lagonda, and much more...
Secret winner
First acclaimed, then forgotten: in 1966, this Alfa Romeo 1600 GTA won the Dutch Touring Car Championship for Rob Soltemaker's team. Then the Alfa disappeared to the USA. Until now...
From the original model to the last of its kind, a Porsche 356 is always something special - each version with its own history and character. This history features an extremely rare family reunion with four variants of the Porsche icon: the original model, Convertible D, Carrera 2 GT and SC Cabriolet.
The master of the Miuras
The legendary Lamborghini turns 50 this year. Octane celebrates with Sant'Agata's famous test driver and Miura specialist Valentino Balboni.
In addition, the famous test driver Valentino Balboni is accompanied on an emotional pilgrimage to Lamborghini's roots - a unique insight into the history and magic of the brand.
Renault had set a whole series of records with the 40 CV NM. Not quite, but almost a hundred years later Octane ventured onto the record track.
Back to the Future
In 1978, Bertone joined forces with Lancia to build a concept study in which the glazing was to merge seamlessly with the steel bodywork. At least that was the plan...
For Rolls-Royce, the 25 EX was just another experiment in the search for perfection. For John Eskadale Fishburn, it was a blank canvas for the projection of a new style.
Yesterday was this morning
Aston Martin thrilled and disturbed the public with the Lagonda in 1976. Forty years later, it still polarizes, but is also more fashionable than ever.
