The Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale is a sports car manufactured by Italian automobile manufacturer Alfa Romeo. Unveiled on August 30, 2023, the car was made available with two powertrain options, either a 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged 690T V6 engine (which is a development of the engine from the Giulia Quadrifoglio) or an all-electric powertrain option.[5][4]

History

The project began development in June 2022 at the initiative of Jean-Philippe Imparato, head of Alfa Romeo, taking some of its development work from an abandoned Alfa Romeo project that was used to develop the Maserati MC20.[6][7] The car is meant to be an homage to the original 1967 model and a limited production of just 33 units is expected to begin in June 2024. The cars will be produced by the Italian coach building firm Touring Superleggera.[8][9]
