At the prestigious 2025 Monterey Car Week, the automotive world witnessed the highly anticipated North American premiere of an icon reborn: the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale. This exclusive, handcrafted masterpiece headlined a week dedicated to Alfa Romeo's legacy of design, passion, and performance, captivating enthusiasts across four of the Peninsula's most premier venues.
A modern interpretation of the legendary 1967 Tipo 33 Stradale, the new model is a bespoke celebration of Italian artistry and heritage. Limited to just 33 units worldwide, each car is a unique creation, with every detail meticulously tailored to the client's specifications in a process inspired by Renaissance workshops. This collaboration between the owner and Alfa Romeo’s design team results in a truly singular supercar.
Unmatched Performance and Craftsmanship
The 33 Stradale is more than just a beautiful sculpture; it's a technical tour de force. Powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 engine, it delivers a stunning 630 horsepower. This power translates into breathtaking performance, with the car capable of going from 0 to 62 mph in under three seconds and reaching a top speed of 207 mph.
Crafted by hand at Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera in Italy, the 33 Stradale features a carbon-fiber monocoque, active suspension, and signature dihedral doors. Inside, the minimalist, analog-inspired cockpit honors the purity of the driving experience, blending cutting-edge innovation with a timeless design.
A Week of Exclusivity and Passion
The 33 Stradale's North American journey began at Motorlux, where it was displayed alongside Alfa Romeo’s current lineup. The event, held at the Monterey Jet Center, highlighted the blend of elegance, high-performance, and aviation inspiration that defines the new Stradale.
An exclusive event at Hagerty House on Thursday offered guests an intimate look at the car. The evening culminated in a fireside chat with Cristiano Fiorio, Alfa Romeo's global head of marketing, and Glynn Bloomquist, one of the U.S. customers of the 33 Stradale. They provided insights into the car's specialized customization and artisanal craftsmanship, showcasing the unique collaborative process behind each bespoke vehicle.
