Earlier, Alfa Romeo revealed the new 33 Stradale, an extremely limited, coach-built supercar designed to recall the storied brand's legendary history. A beautiful Italian powerhouse, the car can now be viewed from multiple angles thanks to a series of new videos.

In one, Alfa Romeo lays out the narrative surrounding the car, which is inspired by the Tipo 33 racing car that became a legend in the Mille Miglia, and the road car that evolved from it, the beautiful 33 Stradale designed by Franco Scaglione.
In the video, Alfa Romeo tells the story of motorsport glory, referencing various stories such as Nino Farina's 1950 FIA World Championship title or the Giulietta's famous victory over a high-speed train of its time. Framed as achievements that were considered impossible in their time, Alfa Romeo suggests that recreating the spirit of the legendary 33 Stradale should be impossible.
Whether you agree with the automaker's lofty rhetoric or not, the car it created is a fascinating one. Powered by either a twin-turbo or a 750 hp (559 kW/760 PS) electric drivetrain, the car has a top speed of 333 km/h (206 mph) and will be able to reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in under three seconds.

The basic shape, which you can see in detail in the second video, was designed by Alfa Romeo Centro Stile, which was inspired by the 1967 33 Stradale.
“With the new 33 Stradale, we wanted to create something that reflects our past, serves the brand and makes Alfisti fans proud,” said Jean-Philippe Imparato, CEO of the company. “Such a result could only be achieved thanks to the know-how, hard work and passion of our team, supported by a management that has the clear ambition to contribute to writing chapters in the future of the company, with absolute respect for its unique history.”.
Although Alfa Romeo doesn't say so, the 33 Stradale appears to share most of its basic components (including the powertrain) with the Maserati MC20. However, with the bodywork from Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera, 33 buyers were able to customize almost everything, down to the size of the air vents, to create their perfect, one-of-a-kind car.
This focus on bodywork will be a theme moving forward, as Imparato says this is Alfa Romeo's first "fuoriserie" (custom-built) car since 1969 and promises it won't be the last.
