Although Alfa Romeo is very famous in motorsport, he is also currently named the top F1 team. But in fact, let alone supercars, even two-door sports cars have been traced back more than 10 years. Just yesterday, the highly anticipated Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale was finally unveiled, to the delight of fans, what kind of surprise can this new car that brings the essence of the brand's history and future to bring?
In fact, seeing the appearance of this car, a little understanding of Alfa Romeo may know that the 33 Stradale is not the first time it has appeared, the name can be traced back to the original 1967 model, based on the "Tipo 33" prototype race car, it is also one of the most successful models in the brand's history. And we can see that this new 33 Stradale really pays homage to this classic model from 1967 in several elements, after all, they set the new car from the beginning to be inspired by the 33, telling us a "happy ending story".
The new 33 Stradale body is hand-built by the coachbuilder of Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera, and the entire front design basically restores the line contours of the 1967 33 Stradale, the angle of the headlights, the combination of the window and the roof, the shield with a small opening in the front, and the new 33 Stradale is a comprehensive modernization of the old 33 Stradale. Inheriting the classics, bravely innovating, every launch is a tribute to the legend. Not just a car, but a historical work of art.
The cockpit is also made of leather, carbon fiber, aluminum, Alcantara and other materials, and is available in two themes - Tributo and Alfa Corse, corresponding to classic and sporty respectively. Coupled with the aluminum knobs and levers with a pure mechanical structure, it can be said that the pure driving style is brought to the extreme.
The iconic butterfly door, in order to integrate into the body structure composed of carbon fiber monocoque chassis + aluminum H-frame roof, even the window frame is made of carbon fiber, and the glass part is made of polycarbonate. The 33 Stradale, which starts at €3 million and is limited to 33 units, was sold out in the weeks following last year's Monza Grand Prix.
In terms of power, before the new car came out, some people thought that the new Alfa Romeo supercar would completely abandon the internal combustion engine, but the core of the new 33 Stradale is a powerful twin-turbo engine. The new 33 Stradale will produce 620 hp from ZF's 8-speed DTC gearbox, which can break 100 hp in 3 seconds and reach a top speed of 333km/h. Looking ahead, of course, Alfa Romeo seeks full electrification. As a result, their new 33 Stradale will also be available in an all-electric version, which will deliver up to 750 horsepower and an estimated range of 450 km.
In fact, in recent years, the supercar circle has indeed become popular to pay tribute to the classic trend, such as the Bugatti Centodeci tribute to EB110, Ferrari Daytona SP3 tribute to the 330 P3, 2022 Ford GT commemorative edition, etc., but such a thorough tribute as Alfa Romeo, it is really a unique case, but this price is really too prohibitive, can't it be a little closer to the people?
