Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale (2023)

The Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale is a sports car produced by Italian automobile manufacturer Alfa Romeo. Unveiled on August 30, 2023, the car was available with two powertrain options, either a 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged V6 engine or an all-electric powertrain.[4][5]

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, with a limited production run of 33 units. The cars were produced by the Italian coach building firm Touring Superleggera.[8][9][10]

Specifications

The 33 Stradale was offered with a choice of the 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged V6 engine from the Maserati MC20, or an all-electric powertrain. The V6 is paired with the 8-speed dual clutch transmission from the MC20,[11] which sends power to the rear wheels through an electronic limited-slip differential. The 33 Stradale features a modified version of the MC20's carbon fiber monocoque, with aluminum subframes, dual-arm suspension, active shock absorbers, and semi-virtual steering on both axles. Braking is handled by a brake-by-wire system using Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes. Alfa Romeo claims a 0–100 km/h (62 mph) time of under 3.0 seconds for both powertrain options, and a top speed of 207 mph.[12] The electric variant has a claimed range of 240 mi.[13]
