Alfa romeo is updating an iconic beauty. The original Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale is a mid-engined sports car, that was one of the world’s first supercars and highly regarded as one of the most beautiful cars ever produced. Only 18 vehicles were ever made, one of which is kept at the Museum in Arese, making it an extremely rare piece and highly coveted by collectors.
This modern iteration looks to cement its place in the history books alongside the 1967 original by becoming another road going (Stradale in Italian) work of art. The updated 33 Stradale will boast a V6 twin-turbo engine delivering over 620 hp, and lucky owners can opt for the BEV configuration which will deliver over 750 hp. All this power allows the 33 Stradale to hit a top speed of 333 km/h, and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in under three seconds. To ensure the car isn’t just a pretty face, the car’s tuning will be supported by F1 driver Valtteri Bottas on the legendary Balocco track. This will help the cars performance to be carefully curated to be as enjoyable on track as it is on the road.
Jean-Philippe Imparato, CEO of the Alfa Romeo brand, says: “With the new 33 Stradale, we wanted to create something that lived up to our past, to serve the brand and to make the Alfisti fandom proud. Such a result could only have been achieved thanks to the expertise, hard work and passion of our team, with the support of management who have the clear ambition to contribute to writing chapters in the brand’s future, in full respect of its unique history. This is the brand’s first custom-built car since 1969, and I promise it won’t be the last.” Unfortunately, there are only 33 of these new cars being produced and they have all been sold. Got to be quick off the mark!
