The original 1967 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale was a street-legal evolution of the Tipo 33 race car — weighing just 700 kilograms, powered by a 2.0-liter, DOHC V8 with a flat-plane crank, producing 230 horsepower at 10,000 rpm. It featured a 6-speed manual transmission, aluminum body panels, and a top speed of 260 kilometers per hour.
The 2025 model builds directly on that engineering ethos: doubling the power, using carbon composites, and reinterpreting the same rear-mid engine layout with 21st-century precision.
The Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale, unveiled on August 30th, 2023, is a limited-production supercar — just 33 units worldwide, each uniquely configured. It bridges historic design with advanced performance architecture.
Customers choose between two powertrains:
A 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6, mounted longitudinally and producing over 620 horsepower and 730 Nm of torque. It’s paired to an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT), with rear-wheel drive, delivering 0–100 km/h in 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 333 kilometers per hour.
Or a fully electric version, producing 750+ horsepower and over 940 Nm of torque, supported by an 800-volt solid-state battery system. Estimated range is around 450 kilometers, with a 0–100 km/h time of under 2.8 seconds.
The chassis is built on a carbon fiber monocoque, with aluminum front and rear subframes, providing maximum torsional rigidity with minimal weight. The target curb weight for the V6 version is under 1,500 kilograms; the EV variant is slightly higher due to the battery pack.
Suspension consists of double-wishbone geometry with push-rod actuated adaptive dampers — designed for high-speed stability and low-speed comfort. Ride height is adjustable for road clearance, and an electro-hydraulic front lift system is included as standard.
The braking system includes Brembo carbon-ceramic rotors with six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers, optimized for repeated high-load stops. The EV variant incorporates regenerative braking to recover energy during deceleration.
Wheels are 20-inch forged aluminum alloys, wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, sized 245/35 front and 305/30 rear. Steering is electromechanical, tuned for linear response and road feel — calibrated for both track and street use.
Aerodynamics are entirely passive, with vented fenders, a flat underbody, and rear diffuser, engineered through computational fluid dynamics (CFD). There's no active wing, but downforce is optimized at speed without mechanical drag.
The interior emphasizes driver control. There’s no central screen. Instead, a digital instrument panel provides telemetry, speed, and mechanical status. Switchgear is made from anodized aluminum; bucket seats are tailored in leather, Alcantara, or carbon fiber.
Each of the 33 cars is individually built by Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera, offering bespoke paint, materials, and seating fit. The cabin can be configured in either “Tributo” or “Pista” specifications — with the former focused on touring, and the latter track-optimized.
The 2025 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale isn't simply a tribute. It’s a precision-engineered statement — honoring the past while executing on the most advanced tools of today. The result is a car that’s as technically exact as it is rare.
