FIRST LOOK: 620bhp/750bhp, £1.7m Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale | Top Gear
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Meet the new Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale, a ‘fuoriserie’ (limited edition) super sports car whose debt to its Sixties forebear is so strong they haven’t even bothered to change the name.
It can be had with either a 3.0-litre, twin-turbo V6 making 620bhp or as a BEV that will most likely run three electric motors for more than 750bhp (Alfa is keeping its powder dry on the exact details for now.) It uses a carbon fibre monocoque with aluminium front and rear subframes. And it will be manufactured in a limited run of just 33 cars by celebrated Milanese carrozzeria, Touring Superleggera for maximum personalisation.
Want one? Rumours are it’ll start from £1.7m plus taxes and they’re only building 33. So instead, let Jason Barlow be your guide to Alfa’s new
masterpiece.

I think a lot of people are getting fed up of all the complications of screens here and there and having to go through menu's to het to the things that you really want. Also the safety aspect of having what you need to hand /button/switch. And the simple and cool design. It just works. And that's what you actually need.
A new supercar that tops out at 206mph, with a super clean steering wheel and manual toggle switches! This is a car meant to be driven hard and enjoyed instead what we get these days with all numbers so large you need to pull out a calculator to make sense of them, bravo.

2:23 “the worlds angry enough, we don’t need any more anger” literally shifted my mood today
Alfa Romeo, you just made the world stand up and look. And we look with awe. Congrats and Bravo
Simply gorgeous I think is the best description for the new 33 Stradale. It instantly makes so many of the supercars out of Lamborghini especially, and also the rest look so wrong and outdated. Such a classic design with lovely curves and beautiful detailing.. Am certain I will never see one of these for real, but it’s nice knowing they exist.
Good to see Alfa making cars like this, that interior is gorgeous
£1.7 m this is more than surprising.. but In a world where I would have enough money, I probably would say "I want to have it " Stunning, and honestly for me one of the best looking cars.
Most car companies have lost their ways, Alfa Romeo however always delivers. It's just so tasteful.

Beautiful car. A work of art!! And like most of the best works of art, you can't touch, can't buy it and can only admire it from afar. My hat off to the Alfa Romeo designers whose talent can be appreciated by all those whose eyes fall on this design, and hat off to the Alfa Romeo engineers whose talent will only be appreciated by exactly only 33 people. That's why you have to respect even more the companies and engineers that come close to a car like this, but have cars you can touch, buy and drive. Their talent will always be appreciated by more people than the engineers of this car.
Alfa Romeo, IMO the most beautiful car brand

WOW 😮 Bare, stripped back and functional. No multitude of screens and buttons everywhere. In short. PERFECTION. ❤
Bellissima both on the inside & outside. Love the clean & uncluttered look in the cabin. Although those wheels look terrific I would've liked to have seen a modern twist on the original wheels that would suit it better in my opinion.
Just WOW. Instant Classic to say the least.

That's some breath of fresh air in automotive industry. A pretty car, made for driving. And driving only. Then parking it no matter where and just looking at it.
Quite simply, the most beautiful car made in the last 50 years. Maybe the most beautiful ever?
That car is such a looker! The taillights for some reason also remind me a bit of the ferrari 458 italia, a car that’s still visually relevant to this day imo.
It's perfect. The original Tipo 33 has been my favorite car since childhood. This 33 will be a lot of kids' dream car for years to come.
Absolutely breathtaking design..that steering wheel and no screens just took me back to the time when cars where still cars. Not the things we see everyday on the roads
Good to see artistic design regaining groumd on pure aero.
They have always made the most beautiful wheels. They have now put them on the most beautiful car. Stunning and I love the 2 fingers to the rest of the supercar makers MO.
Another beautiful Alfa Romeo. I hope the future production cars will inherit some of the essence of the 33.
A timeless piece of art. I approve, gentlemen!

This new Stradale and the 8c competizione are two of the most beautiful Alfa Romeo(s) I’ve ever seen.
Alfa Romeo is back in the land of dream supercars with the unveiling of the 33 Stradale, a modern reinterpretation of the Tipo 33 from the 1960s, both in terms of image and in terms of top-of-the-range technology. Production is limited to 33 units (already sold) and can be ordered in combustion or 100% electric versions. The new 33 Stradale represents an ideal connection between the past thermal and the electric future, achieved through the reinterpretation of traces of the style of the 33 Stradale from 1967 in an unscrupulous form. At the same time, it serves as Alfa Romeo's manifesto for the future in terms of the automotive dream and emotion, even with electrification just around the corner, anticipating some of the details of the brand's future. The Italian brand is thus returning to the world of 'outa de série' ('fuoriserie', in Italian) cars, with road homologation, thus making it possible to use them unblemished in everyday life. Each of the 33 units is created with the full participation of the customers, who work together with the Alfa Romeo team to personalize the cars to their liking, both in terms of colors and equipment and in other aspects. In order to achieve this existential exclusivity, 'Bottega' was created, a team of Alfa Romeo professionals who involved customers from the outset in the creation of 'one-off' cars.
I don’t know if "if you're getting an alfa romeo, would you want it to be electric?" is the right question. I think it should be "if you're getting an electric car, would you want it to be an alfa romeo?" To which the answer is a resounding Hell Yes

Top 3 car design of the past decade. Ferarri Roma, Aston Martin DB11 are the only other contenders IMO and neither has the "wow" factor the 33 has. The 33 design isn't "perfect" IMO, no car design is, but it's pretty damn close. All it's missing is the exposed gear box and exhaust of the original. I think that would push it from a 9/10 to perfection.

If you're correlating price with power, then you're missing the _entire_ point of this vehicle. People that do what you're doing need to get a grip. One day you'll realize that you're comparing numbers and chasing bragging rights because of some sort of insecurity that you have, or maybe you haven't experienced as much competition as you need to, but either way you're looking at vehicles like this in an incomplete way, with a limited perspective.
There’s only 33 of them? I’m heartbroken 💔
This is the BEES KNEES!! More of this please!!
The rear lights look like fighter jet exhaust nozzles, seen from behind as they ignite their afterburners.
AWESOME ‼️👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I can definitely see the homage to the original in shape and lights, but it looks a lot like a 4C, all grown up. I love everything they did with the lighting and the elegant simplicity of the interior. They added the one LED panel that was needed and still kept a classical look to it. Hard to believe they built this. I like the front shales and character of the headlights, which ties in with the taillights, but it seems like a bit of a missed opportunity, having not tied that character into the side intakes behind the doors.
