There will only be 33 Alfa Romeo and 33 Stradales made. Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera, a coachbuilder, will be in charge of making the 33 Stradale for Alfa. The 33 Stradale takes its name and style from the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale sports car from the late 1960s. Alfa Romeo looks to the past to plan for the future. The 33 Stradale mid-engine sports car from the late 1960s is based on the 113-year-old company’s Halo model. The Tipo 33 race car made by the company was replaced by that car as its road-going version. Even though it looks nothing like any modern Alfa Romeo race car, the 33 Stradale is just as desirable as its predecessor. Only 18 of the 33 Stradales made in the beginning left the plant. The Halo Vehicle from Alfa This time, Alfa makes 15 more 33 Stradales so the car can be sold elsewhere. Will you need one? It’s too late. All 33 spots for the halo car, which will cost at least $700,000, have already been taken. Alfa says these lucky (and wealthy) clients come from all over the world, even North America. With its low-slung look, flowing lines, butterfly doors, and airy glass roof, the 33 Stradale’s design is undoubtedly its best feature. Its retro-modern style ties Alfa’s past and present together. This is also true of the Art Deco interior, which looks like the nose of a jet plane. The 33 Stradale has physical controls for its front-axle lift, launch-control system, and drive-mode selector. The driver can choose between the normal Strada mode, which is suitable for comfort on the road, and the Pista mode, which is better for the track. There are a lot of physical switches all over the house. The Maserati Mechanical Link Many of the 33 Stradale’s technical parts come from the Maserati parts bin, just like Alfa’s last “halo” car, the front-engine 8C Competizione coupe and 8C Spider convertible from the late 2000s. This also includes essential parts of the MC20 frame. The two Italian sports cars running on gas have a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 engine with more than 620 horsepower and an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. The wheels are the same size. On the other hand, cars that run on gas are no longer used. With its available battery-electric engine, the 33 Stradale is ready for the day when most cars are run on electricity. Alfa Romeo won’t say for sure, but it thinks the system will have more than 750 horsepower and can go about 240 miles on a single charge. The gas-powered 33 Stradale is expected to weigh less than 3300 pounds, while the battery-powered version weighs a whole ton more. Both powertrains should be able to get the 33 Stradale from 0 to 60 mph in less than 3 seconds, with the electric version reaching 60 mph just a few ticks before the gas-powered version. But the extra weight should have little effect on performance off the line. (For the record, it took 3.2 seconds for a 3800-pound MC20 that we were in charge of to hit 60 mph). 33 for 33 When production starts in June 2024, each buyer will have the final say on whether any of these hand-built Italian supercars run on gas or batteries. But we’ve heard that most buyers prefer an internal combustion engine. We hope the 33 Stradale previews the next generation of mass-produced models from the famous Italian automaker’s design direction, approach to dynamic performance, and general extravagance. However, this limited-edition sports car could celebrate Alfa Romeo’s past success.
