Alfa Romeo is delighted to announce the return of the legendary 33 Stradale, an icon of the 1960s, reputed by many to be one of the most beautiful cars of all time, and derived directly from the Tipo 33 – once a big name in world motorsport.​

A project that respectfully celebrates the brand’s history and takes it forward into the future. The new 33 Stradale acts as the ideal link between the internal combustion engines of the past and the electric future, achieved by scrupulously and respectfully reinterpreting the stylistic features of the 1967 33 Stradale. A car that takes on the role of the Alfa Romeo manifesto and anticipates certain details from the brand’s future.

A “fuoriserie” (‘custom-built’) car type-approved to be driven on the road, the 33 Stradale offers outstanding performance on the track, but has been conceived with no compromises in terms of comfort and ease of use, including on an everyday basis.

An unprecedented level of customization: to guarantee the uniqueness of each model, we now have the “Bottega,” a team of Alfa Romeo professionals who involved customers from the outset, to start to jointly create their own car, unique in every detail, all the way to the option of personally “signing” the chassis number.
The project confirms Alfa Romeo’s approach to the production of exclusive limited editions, via artisan processes, technological innovation and profound interaction with customers.
The project is the result of the passion within the Alfa Romeo team, whose strong desire was to create a one of a kind in the automotive landscape and within the Stellantis Group, but above all something that could match up to the brand’s history. The opportunity of a lifetime for car fans, who have turned their passion into their vocation, like a dream come true.

Alfa Romeo is delighted to announce the rebirth of the custom-built 33 Stradale, a veritable “manifesto” of the Italian brand’s capabilities – now and in the future – in terms of style and driving experience. Made in only 33 exclusive units, according to a unique artisan process, the new “two-seater” coupé combines the brand’s heritage and future as the symbol of noble Italian sportsmanship.

The epitome of “necessary beauty”
Produced by the Alfa Romeo Centro Stile, the new 33 Stradale is inspired by the historic 1967 model, with enrichments to its sculptural beauty with certain design elements from Alfa Romeo's new language of style.

A unique driving experience

The new Alfa Romeo special edition can be fitted with a V6 twin-turbo engine delivering over 620 hp or can come in a BEV configuration with over 750 hp. Performance is outstanding in both versions. The top speed is 333 km/h, and it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in under three seconds. The double-arm suspension with active shock absorbers and the front axle lift ensure handling and comfort. The Alfa Romeo Brake-By-Wire braking system and Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes offer high-level performance.

DESIGN – THE MANIFESTO OF NECESSARY BEAUTY

The sensual and attractive line makes this “fuoriserie” (‘custom-built’) car unique, combining beauty and performance.
The exterior features a perfect balance between proportions, volumes and processing of the surfaces, and becomes the epitome of Alfa Romeo’s “necessary beauty”.
The front features the sinuous roundness typical of Alfa Romeo, with references to the unmistakable “V” on the bonnet and the iconic shield.
The side design is sleek and dynamic, with side air intakes and "elytra" doors that enhance accessibility and ergonomics, and offer a unique panoramic view for the driver.
The rear expresses the “brutal” essence of the 33 Stradale, with a V-shaped graphic and round rear light clusters.
The aerodynamic efficiency is confirmed by an excellent Cx of 0.375, achieved without the assistance of active aerodynamic devices.
The interiors are offered in two base trim levels, “Tributo” and “Alfa Corse”, characterized by high-quality materials and design inspired by its 1967 forerunner.
The sports steering wheel and the “telescope” instrumentation emphasize the concept of driver orientation, with a precise and direct driving feeling.
The dashboard and central tunnel feature “mechanical” details inspired by aviation, while the enveloping seats and door panels contribute to creating an exclusive and comfortable environment.

EXTERIOR

A first glance captivates the viewer with the perfect balance between proportions, volumes and processing of the surfaces of the new 33 Stradale. An exciting combination that stands as the epitome of “necessary beauty”, i.e., the creative principle inherent in the brand's DNA that sees aesthetics and technique profoundly intertwined.

Front: the 33 Stradale has a powerful and muscular volume, featuring the sinuous roundness typical of Alfa Romeo, epitomized by the 1967 33 Stradale. Certain stylistic features also refer to the unmistakable "V" on the cofango – this term identifies the single component that integrates the bonnet and fender, to recall the air outlet of the 33/2. The front of the car also features Alfa Romeo’s characteristic shield in carbon fiber – up to the customer whether with the classic logo or a 3D version – as a natural point of convergence of the two ribs that run along the front. The features and DNA of the historic 33 are preserved in the look of the extremely evocative and clearly recognizable car. This is the result of the lights with their complex shape on an elliptical base, within which reside refined objects of design and technology, to breathe life into functions and performance with a modern flair. Finally, the design of the front is completed by the aerodynamic carbon fiber appendages located in the lower part.

Sides: strongly slender and dynamic, the sides ideally transfer all the power and energy expressed by the car's powerful musculature to the rear axle. Two large side air intakes, necessary for the intercooler, graphically and volumetrically define the origin and development of the muscles of the rear.

Rear: This part of the car embodies the “brutal” essence of the Stradale. The central V-shape of the truncated tail enhances perception of the body color, keeping the technical part in carbon fiber at the bottom in view. The thoroughly evolved taillights stand as a powerful reference to their round counterparts in the car’s predecessor. The side direction indicators are divided into two parts, one integrated in the center of the rear light cluster and another that emerges from the side of the fender, breathing life into a reinterpretation of the side air outlets behind the rear wheel.

INTERIOR

The interiors – Sports steering wheel and “telescope” cluster: The 33 Stradale enhances the concept of driver orientation, made possible by two essential components for any Alfa Romeo: the steering wheel and the driver's instrument panel. The former is compact and sporty in shape, ensuring a precise and direct steering feeling; it is also embellished by the clean lines given the lack of controls on the steering wheel, and by the three spokes in aluminum in one trim (Tributo) or in carbon fiber in the other (Alfa Corse). The second hallmark is the “telescope” instrument panel, with a clear Alfa Romeo stylistic matrix, bringing together all the information required when driving. Depending on which of the “Road” and “Track” drive modes are selected, the instrument cluster has easy-to-read graphics, meaning the driver can keep everything under control without distractions from commands that would be superfluous on this type of car.

Seats and door panels: comfortable and enveloping, the seats – upholstered in Poltrona Frau leather – are the contemporary reinterpretation of the originals, as seen in the colors and the famous side ribbing; they also have six-way electric controls and four lumbar positions. Finally, the same materials and colors as the seats are used in the upholstery of the door panels, the dashboard, the cockpit and the central tunnel, creating an exclusive environment.

TECHNICALS – AN UNFORGETTABLE DRIVING EXPERIENCE

The new 33 Stradale boasts the best of Made at Alfa Romeo engineering, including double-arm suspension with active shock absorbers and the evolution of the V6 engine that already features in the Italian brand’s highest-performance cars.
Available with a 3.0-liter V6 twin-turbo engine with over 620 hp and an eight-speed DCT gearbox, rear-wheel drive and electronic limited-slip differential, or in BEV configuration delivering over 750 hp, with an estimated range of 450 km (WLTP).
An indicated top speed of 333 km/h and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in under three seconds, with braking from 100 km/h to 0 in under 33 m.
H-frame aluminum chassis and carbon fiber monocoque: the light and rigid structure optimizes the car’s agility and drivability.
Double-arm suspension with active shock absorbers, for exceptional handling and unparalleled comfort, and front axle lift to deal with obstacles on the road.
The tuning will benefit from the collaboration of F1 driver Valtteri Bottas, to offer a driving experience as a track car while remaining suitable for everyday use on the road.

THE "BOTTEGA" – ARTISANS AT CUSTOMERS’ SERVICE

Inspired by Renaissance boutiques and by 1960s coachbuilders, a team of Alfa Romeo professionals has worked with customers to design 33 unique and exclusive specimens.
All 33 models of the new Alfa Romeo special edition sold out within just a few weeks.
Chaired by the CEO of Alfa Romeo, the 33 Committee consists of the heads of various departments and approves customers’ requests, ensuring that the car's history and iconicity are respected.

Creating a unique and unrepeatable work of art, shaping matter and colors in a form of pure beauty. This principle is rooted in the Italian Renaissance, where master artisans breathed life into objects of great appeal and quality, according to their customers’ specifications. The first meetings with potential buyers were held at the 2022 Monza Grand Prix, where collectors and fans of the brand could appreciate the first sketches of the car, created through the passion and pride of the Alfa Romeo Centro Stile. The idea of reviving the icon touched these fans so deeply that, within weeks, all 33 units had already been sold.

CRAFTSMANSHIP AND INNOVATION FOR AN UNPRECEDENTED LEVEL OF CUSTOMIZATION

Produced in only 33 specimens, each customized and unique based on numerous variations of exclusive body colors, prestigious coatings and innovative materials.
Alfa Romeo will be employing the Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera to build this limited edition, combining artisan processes, technological innovation and customer desires.
Customers can choose from four exclusive liveries, different carbon fiber finishes and various logos.
Two distinct styles for the interior: “Tributo” with leather and aluminum, and "Alfa Corse" with carbon fiber and Alcantara, both with different combinations of colors and finishes to exalt the car’s character.

Initially, The “Alfa Romeo” signature on the rear is also available in black, gold or silver. The same colors appear in the 20-inch “Tributo” alloy wheels, plus the refined two-tone option. Finally, the brake calipers are optionally available in black, red or yellow while the double tailpipe can be finished in brushed chrome or black.
Moving on to the interior, the new 33 Stradale is available in two base trim levels: Tributo and Alfa Corse. The former is marked out by leather and aluminum, and pays homage to the 1967 33 Stradale on show at the Museum in Arese. The standout feature here is the interior upholstery in two-tone biscuit leather and slate, used in the seats, dashboard, door panels and central tunnel. Customers can also opt for other two-tone solutions, such as red/black or blue/slate. Conversely, the “Alfa Corse” trim level is the triumph of sportiness, with the combination of carbon fiber and Alcantara: the upholstery of the seats, dashboard, door panels and central tunnel combine Alcantara and leather in shades such as black, red/black or blue/black.
