Alfa Romeo Stuns Monterey With Exclusive 33 Stradale Supercar

This past week, at the 2025 Monterey Car Week, Alfa Romeo delivered one of the most talked-about debuts on the Peninsula. The reborn Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale—a handcrafted supercar limited to just 33 units worldwide—made its North American premiere, captivating crowds at some of the week’s most prestigious venues. For enthusiasts, collectors, and historians of the brand, it was a rare opportunity to witness the modern rebirth of one of Italy’s most celebrated automotive icons.

The Return of an Icon – 

The original 1967 Tipo 33 Stradale is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful cars ever created. Alfa Romeo’s modern reinterpretation builds directly on that legacy, blending timeless Italian design with state-of-the-art engineering. Beneath the sculpted exterior, owners can specify a 630-horsepower twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter Nettuno V6, capable of accelerating from 0 to 62 mph (0 to 100 km/h) in under three seconds and reaching a top speed of 207 mph. Each car is hand-assembled at Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera in Milan, with Alfa Romeo’s Centro Stile shaping the design and advanced engineering expertise informed by Formula One.

A Bespoke, One-of-One Experience – 

Every 33 Stradale is a truly unique commission. Buyers work directly with Alfa Romeo’s design and engineering teams to tailor every element—from body color and trim finishes to interior materials—ensuring that no two cars are alike. Constructed with a carbon-fiber monocoque, active suspension, and dramatic dihedral doors, the Stradale delivers cutting-edge performance. Inside, its analog-inspired cockpit strips back excess in favor of a pure, driver-focused experience—an intentional nod to the golden era of sports cars.

Its appearance this past week at Monterey was more than a simple debut; it was a statement of Alfa Romeo’s enduring passion for design, performance, and Italian craftsmanship, reaffirming its place among the most admired marques in the world.
