Buyer’s Guides – Italy’s Greatest Hits

Let’s say it your life is boring, you want something that gives up on you every time you try to start it. Here are some options if you want something as reliable as a old man’s erection…

1. Lancia Thema 2.0l Turbo

This Thema can be your own mafia car , but the truth is this car is rare as f#ck in the US, so the only way to get one is importing it from Europe. Sharing the “Type Four” front wheel drive, front engine chassis with the Alfa 164, Saab 900 and Fiat Croma, the engine to have is the 2.0l Turbo with the manual 5 speed. If you have deep pockets you can have the Thema 8.32 with the Ferrari V8 out of the Ferrari Mondial that gets this car to 234kph (146mph) and gets it from 0-100kph (60mph) in 7.2s while the 2.0l 4cyl only gets to 209kph (130mph) and does the 0-100kph (60mph) run 0.7sec slower than the V8.
You can trust them as much as you trust your neighbor’s delinquent son.

2. Lancia Delta Integrale HF Turbo 

Another great car from a time where Group B was alive and Lancia dominated it, this Lancia is the best rally car for the road, but again very rare in America. Built between 1979 and 1994, if you are on a budget get the HF Turbo, but if you can go for the limited edition homologation specials, the Integrale Evoluzione I or II, just do it!
Again, this will be as fun as Walley World and as trustworthy as a dead pigeon.

3. Alfa Romeo Disco Volante

With a base from Alfa 8C, a body made by Touring and a Maserati V8, it’s probably the recipe for the greatest Italian car. This GT car can do 292kph (182mph), and reaches 100kph (60mph) in 4.2 sec, this isn’t car built for speed, it’s built to cruise, to arrive at your friends house in style and confort, this is a car that is special, it’s rare, in fact they only expect to build 8 of them.
If you have the money (a lot of it), give your 8C to them and 10000 man hours later you can get this awsome machine.

These are just 3 of the best Italian cars you can buy right now, just go for the one you like the most or just buy one that isn’t on the list, it doesn’t matter anyways you’re going to inevitably end  stuck somewhere on the side of a road calling for a tow truck.
