Alfa Romeo’s reborn icon, the 33 Stradale, made its highly anticipated North American debut at the 2025 Monterey Car Week, captivating automotive enthusiasts across the peninsula. Over the course of four elite events—including Motorlux, The Quail, Hagerty House, and WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca—the limited-production supercar underscored Alfa Romeo’s enduring reputation for Italian design excellence, performance heritage, and artisanal craftsmanship.

Inspired by the celebrated 1967 Tipo 33 Stradale, often hailed as one of the most beautiful cars in history, the new 33 Stradale merges timeless design cues with cutting-edge innovation. Beneath its sculpted carbon-fiber body lies a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 engine producing 630 horsepower, enabling a blistering 0–62 mph sprint in under three seconds and a top speed of 207 mph.

Built entirely by hand at Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera in Italy, each of the 33 units is fully bespoke, tailored to its owner’s vision through direct collaboration with Alfa Romeo’s Centro Stile design team. The result is an ultra-exclusive supercar that incorporates Formula One–derived engineering, active suspension, dihedral doors, and a minimalist cockpit that emphasizes analog purity. All units have already been claimed, cementing its place among the most coveted collector cars of the modern era.
