To rekindle the public’s interest in its brand, Alfa Romeo has decided to strike a powerful blow: with this new one Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale, the biscione firm is not only launching an exciting new supercar inspired by the 1967 33 Stradale, but above all, offering a choice between a V6 engine or a 100% electric version. A rare option now, at a time when many manufacturers have bet on all-electric, to the detriment of any notion of automotive passion…

“With the new 33 Stradale, we wanted to create something that lived up to our history, served the brand and made Alfists proud. Such a result can only be achieved thanks to the experience, work and passion of our team, with the support of a management that clearly wants to write some chapters of the future of Alfa Romeo, respecting its unique history. This is the first Fuoriserie car since 1969, and I promise it won’t be the last.”– said Jean-Philippe Imparato, CEO of the Alfa Romeo brand.
