Alfa Romeo's forbidden dream: 33 units in the world (and they are all sold)

Considered by many to be one of the most beautiful cars of all time, and derived directly from the Tipo 33, which was once a milestone in world motorsport, the legendary 33 Stradale will re-emerge as a manifesto of the Italian brand's capabilities in terms of style and driving experience. The new 33 Stradale will act as the ideal link between the internal combustion engines of the past and the electric future and will mark, after more than 50 years, Alfa Romeo's return to the world of fuoriserie (on-demand manufacturing).

It will arrive in a limited series of only 33 units, all of which were awarded in a few weeks at a price of over one million euros. The new two-seater coupe from the transalpine firm meticulously reinterprets the stylistic features of the 1967 33 Stradale and will be manufactured by hand at Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera. Its quality standards promise obsessive attention to detail to become a work of art with the aim of becoming part of Alfa Romeo history.

It can have a V6 biturbo engine with more than 620 HP or a BEV configuration with three electric motors with more than 750 HP. The features are extraordinary in both versions. The maximum speed is 333 km/h and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h will be completed in less than three seconds. Its suspension scheme, with a double arm with active shock absorbers and the elevating front axle, will offer maximum maneuverability, comfort and dynamic efficiency, while a Brake-By-Wire braking system with carbon-ceramic discs signed by Brembo will guarantee power and forcefulness. necessary to stop this beast with circuit features approved for road use.

The aluminum H-frame and the carbon fiber monocoque provide the desirable rigidity and lightness to a set topped with a carbon fiber and aluminum roof structure, and butterfly wing type doors.

The tuning of the car has had the support of F-1 driver Valtteri Bottas, who has thus brought the experience of the world's top motorsport competition to daily driving.
