Alfa Romeo has announced that it will participate in the “Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este,” which takes place over the weekend on the shores of Lake Como, in Italy, with the new 33 Stradale.
Competing for the coveted “Design Concept Award,” the new Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale is a true “manifesto” of the Italian brand’s capabilities – in the present and in the future – in terms of style and driving experience.
The new 33 Stradale, which pays tribute to the 1967 33 Stradale, promises to be as rare as the original, which was produced in 18 units, as Alfa Romeo will produce only 33 units, all of which are already sold.
The construction of this supercar will be done by hand at the Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera facilities, which will equip the new model with two different engines. One equipped with a 3.0-liter turbocharged gasoline V6 engine, with over 620 hp, and another, 100% electric, capable of delivering a maximum power above 750 hp.
Esthetically there are several stylistic elements shared between both 33 Stradale, such as the vertically opening doors, where the windows extend along the panoramic roof of the unmistakable “V” that dominates the “cofango” (term that identifies the unique component that integrates the hood and the bumper, and where the characteristic shield of the Italian brand is placed, in this case built in carbon fiber.
As for the minimalist interior design, proposed with two levels of finish, Tributo and Alfa Corse, the first paying homage to the original model, the second with an even more sporty character.
With several characteristic elements of the Italian constructor, the new 33 Stradale features a three-spoke steering wheel, without any buttons, and the instrument panel with two large round dials.
