S19·E3 Episode 3

The Turin Motor Show is the showcase of the Italian motor industry — a chance to show off the latest design concepts and, increasingly, the latest in high tech. But does the Italian view of style and innovation still lead the world? And has the Italian industry — dominated by the Fiat Group — had too easy a time in its home market for too long? William Woollard and Sue Baker report from the show. Chris Goffey road-tests two new cars — the Fiat Tipo, which its makers hope will supplant the Volkswagen Golf as Europe’s best-selling car, and the executive-class Alfa 164. With Lancia set to dominate the World Rally scene for a second year, Tony Mason looks at their latest contender — the Integrale.
