Alfa Romeo today unveiled its latest sports car, called the 33 Stradale, in keeping with the tradition established in the 1960s by the Italian company’s then racing division.
Released in a limited edition of just 33 units, the car is a completely uncompromising near-mid-engine race car, yet designed for ordinary highways, not car dreams. It will be equipped with a 3.0-liter V6 biturbo engine with an output of 620 hp or an electric power unit with an output of more than 750 hp.
As CEO Jean-Philip Imparato stated in today’s very pompous presentation of the car: “The new 33 Stradale was created to underline our identity, reinforce our drive to succeed and embody our DNA and values.
This is our company’s first such development since 1969, and I can promise it won’t be the last. It brings Alfa Romeo back to the Supercar Club, of which we were one of the founders. We wanted to create something that would be consistent with our historical heritage and serve the brand today, giving fans something to be proud of.”
The words about the historical heritage were not said by chance: in 1967 a sports car was created, which was called exactly the same – Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale, developed by the famous designer Franco Scaglione, which is still considered one of the most beautiful cars in history of the automotive industry.
The release of the new machine featuring a composite monocoque with two aluminum subframes is scheduled for 2024. All 33 cars are said to be pre-ordered, but there’s no word yet on how much Alfa Romeo’s latest supercar will cost.
