For years, Alfa Romeo does not go well. To the late 1990sthe brand had nevertheless managed to relaunch itself superbly with the 156but this return to business was unfortunately temporary and the 159 n’a never succeeded in perpetuating this renaissance. And the following efforts did not pay off either: the SUV Stelvio remained a relatively confidential distribution machine.

But all that is in the past and, since the FIAT/Chrysler group merger with the PSA group (became Stellantis), it is a whole other strategy which is set up. To relaunch the transalpine brand, Carlos Tavares dispatched a former Peugeot, Jean-Philippe Learned, at Alfa’s bedside. And this one will do everything for the resuscitate. And what better way to do that than to (re)make picture before bringing out the heavy artillery.
“With the news 33 Roadwe wanted to create something that lived up to our history, served the brand and make the Alfis proud said the CEO. And to add: “This is the brand’s first “fuoriserie” (meaning “tailor-made”) car since 1969, and I promise it won’t be the last. ” The stage is set.
Run to get one
The images will speak for themselves to car enthusiasts… who will always be able to race to acquire one. Because this 33 will be produced in 33 copies only and – bad luck – these are already all sold.
Disappointment ? Not that much. Because this 33 Stradale sets the milestone for a new beginning. The machine immediately exacerbates all the senses, he who wants to be a modern reinterpretation of the original mythical model, the Type 33 Roadwhich had been presented to the 1967 Turin Motor Showa magnificent supercar duly homologated for road use.
Drawn by the Alfa Romeo Style Centre and assembled by hand in the Turin workshops of the Lightweight Touring Bodyworkthe 33 Stradale appears as a two-seater coupe. The machine rests on a chassis-frame in aluminium on which is bolted a monocoque carbone. The body mixes aluminum and carbon and is characterized by the installation of two scissor doors. The surprise effect is total!
Two engines
Who says Alfa necessarily says big engine. And there it is surprisebecause, not to shock, but despite everything to show that progress is underway, this supercar is available with two engines: a thermal and an electric. The thermal version gets its hands on the V6 of 2.9 liters (central and longitudinal rear position) of the GTA alpha (developed by an engineer at Ferrari) and he develops here 620 ch which allows you to go from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 3 seconds and to reach a maximum speed of… 333 km/h.
This motor is coupled to a 8-speed dual-clutch transmission and the power transits – phew! – to the rear axle alone. THE brakes are obviously carbon-ceramic (Brembo), just to slow down serenely.
More unexpected is the 100% electric motorization who develops 750 ch, power transmitted to the 4 wheels. Alfa was currently there ability from batterybut announces a autonomy (probably optimistic) of 450 km. This 33 will be available in 3 colors – Rosso Alfa Pastello, Blu Reale and Rosso “Villa d’Este” – and it will be highly customizable, down to its serial number. Her prix ? Let’s not be rude…
