You have it listed as a 97 Allante, which there was none. Either way, your overheat can be broken down into a few causes. You could have low coolant due to an internal/external leak, a faulty thermostat(stuck closed), electric cooling fans that are inoperative, clogged radiator/condenser fins restricting airflow, a coolant flow problem, missing water pump drive belt, or internal problem like leaking head gasket(s) or cracked head/block.
