Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale - Reimagining the most beautiful car ever made ! | 4K

The Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale is a reimagining of the most beautiful car ever made. For me the most beautiful car ever made is the Alfa Romeo 33 Tipo Stradale. A classic design from the 1960's that is just drop dead gorgeous.
Alfa Romeo have used this as the inspiration for their new supercar, the 33 Stradale. Only 33 units will be made and all of those are already sold. They are available with a 620hp 3.0L Twin Turbo V6 or as a full Battery Electric Vehicle.
This is a very important car for Alfa Romeo and the Alfisti as it is a demonstration of intent and design language. Hopefully we will see this car influence Alfa Romeos for the future.

[@global_nomad.]

not sure how many hundreds of times Pete said "beautiful" in these 20 mins...

[@PetrolPed]

A lot 😂

[@R500OLE]

I made it 41 if you include “beauty and beautified”……you out Hendy’d yourself beautifully!…..😅

[@HQBProductions]

Peter…the new one is, to my eyes, better than the original. I will never own one of course but if I could, I would by it in an instant. Sadly none will ever be driven…just hidden in Far Eastern collections…even Tim can’t get this. I just hoe somebody at BMW takes 20 minutes to simple look at it. Lastly……you need to write out 100 lines…..” I must not say BEAUTIFUL for the next six months!”😀😀😀😀😀😀

[@andrewkb5211]

33 times?! 😂

[@philipparkes5682]

Hi Ped Back in the 60’s I fell out of love with my new MGB roadster, it spent more time with the dealer than on the road. However I then bought an Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider from a very very attractive young lady. I fell in love with that car, superb twin cam engine, excellent gearbox, and great handling. And of course it looked gorgeous and had SOUL. Time marched on but the 33, whilst beyond my financial means, and all sold, still retains the dna and soul of Alfa Romeo.🍷🍷🍷🍷

[@Andrew-vx2ls]

Thank you for doing a proper detailed investigation. Alfa still have a fair bit of work to do on this and it is a shame that only 33 will be produced. This car is very elegant but I'm really surprised that no one ever mentions who designed the original car. Thank you Franco Scaglione.

[@johns14a]

You've got to hand it to Alfa, they know how to design a good looking car.

[@PetrolPed]

Yep 👍

[@swiss889]

Best looking modern car ever made, wow

[@PetrolPed]

Yep 👍

[@AaronRandolphChen]

I just noticed the attention to detail for the rear license plate holder - unique indeed! What a magnificent car!

[@PetrolPed]

It really is!

[@watchcommander2012]

Pete that is a absolute gorgeous stunning car it’s a shame that all 33 will probably never get driven on the open road but be put in owners garage collection never to see the light of day again.

[@philtoni794]

So I counted 40 "beautifuls" and it struck me you might be aiming for 33! What a car, poetry in motion and poetry just standing there. Italian design genius. ❤️❤️

[@PetrolPed]

Damn…I so should have done that 😂

[@denisspratt926]

Now this is a treat. One of my favorite automotive KZbinrs getting to talk about a car I lust after. I love Alfa Romeos. I hope they stick to just the 33 cars. And not do like many other brands and then make the same number of convertibles/spiders. Hope to one day just see one of these. The original is just amazing. Wonder if the few owners of the Tipo 33 Stradale was invited to buy this new one. Cause they only made 18. And 6 were given to Bertone, Zagato, Pininfarina, Italdesign to see what they could do with them. And some are in the Alfa Romeo museum.

[@PetrolPed]

The only owner I know is Valterie Bottas 😜

[@denisspratt926]

@@PetrolPed Yeah. The only person I can think of is Lawrence Auriana. A famous Alfa Romeo, Ferrari and Maserati collector. And maybe Ralph Lauren, he has a few rare Alfas as well.

[@beatles4sale2007]

Love the rear lights, looks like a jet turbine engine.

[@PetrolPed]

Yep 👍

[@TechInTheCar]

Really enjoyed that - all the details and close ups and talking with the designer. I was very unsure about the design but your look around pointed out all the details that make it special.

[@PetrolPed]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ianashton1593]

Kudos to you for getting the invite to give an overview of this stunning Alfa, what an honour ! Really enjoyable watch for me personally, one of your best videos so far 👍

[@PetrolPed]

Wow thanks Ian. I was a special trip that's for sure !

[@csapie]

Thanks Pete for showing us this beauty. I'm an AR admirer and after seeing what AR can still design and produce one thought comes to mind: they have to stop with SUVs and make small, affordable sporty cars.

[@paullynch508]

Bloody hell, how beautiful is this car! Cracking video again.

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks 🙏🏻

[@ohhyesitsonlyme]

As an Alfisti myself (Misano Blue Stelvio Quadrifoglio), oh boy what’s sensuous slinky drop dead gorgeous design the 33 Stradale is! Like you, can’t wait to see one at an Alfa show in the future.

[@timofthomas]

One of the last few beautiful cars with a big ICE and no electrical element. A lovely swan song indeed for the ICE as we know it.

[@PetrolPed]

Even though 6 or 7 of the 33 being built are going to be full battery electric 😜😂

[@ginggur17]

Rarely have I been attracted by Alfa, but the shape on this really does tick the boxes for me. 👍🇬🇧

[@jimcabezola3051]

What unbelievable attention to design details! They even resisted the temptation to nail on an extra tablet computer in the middle of the dash! Bravo! I suppose the science of aerodynamics in the wind tunnel dictated that...pocket(?)...divot(?)...in the otherwise lovely headlamp clusters. Were this car built for me, I'd want a totally smooth headlamp without the distraction of that oddity on there. The recent Alfa Romeo 8c Competizione's headlamp clusters are more un-fussy and elegant. THAT car was heavenly... My favourite angle from which to view this car, therefore, is the rear three-quarters. Perfection. The interior is also sublime. I want them to let you have a go in this car, so you can tell us more about it. If you haven't already, I hope you have a go in an original 33. It would be amazing to see one of those 33 buyers of this car specify a battery-electric version on offer. This car is an EVENT! Aloha!

[@PetrolPed]

Some quick answers to your points raised 👍 There is a tablet/screen that will appear from under the dashboard. The socket under the headlamps is fundamental to the aero and keeping the car stable at speed. Finally in believe that 20% of the lucky owners are opting to battery electric 👍

[@jimcabezola3051]

@@PetrolPed Mahalo for your kind reply. Yes...I had a feeling that socket under the headlamps was an essential part of the aerodynamics. We're long past the age of "If it looks right, it'll fly right." Hey...a screen that can be put away when we don't want it? Excellent! Let's have more of that. I'd be a happy owner, then. I'm gobsmacked that such a high percentage of owners took the electric option. There's hope after all! Aloha.

[@davecoussens9801]

Great review Pete and what a stunning car AR have produced :-) As they say, your not a true Petrolhead until you've owned an Alpha

[@wowbagger66]

I very much enjoyed this video it does a great job of putting across the beauty and engineering of this car, I have owned seven Alfas and I am so glad that they are building cars like this.

[@PetrolPed]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@alasdairwilson4806]

That really is a stunning car.You're correct,they have nailed with the design.Oh to be one of the lucky 33.Great vid.Thanks.

[@PetrolPed]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@PetrolPed]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@KAM-666]

What a beauty, great looking, athletic, powerful and well proportioned, the Roma ain’t bad either 😂, seriously, what a stunning looking car, a kind of elongated F~Type/ Aston. I followed one in our F type and was shocked how wide and long the Roma is. Thanks for reviewing that stunning hotel to, it’s been put on our list. So pleased you have a wonderful weekend.

[@coltoncleveringa8004]

A great video! Yes a very beautiful beautiful Car Sir Pete.

[@PetrolPed]

Many thanks Bud 👍

[@dickiemcvitie1752]

33 very lucky people!! I'd love to drive the Tipo, it looks amazing. One thing I notice with the designers is that you can hear the passion in their voices and see it in their body language, but at the same time they remain slightly understated and humble...

[@alemzsic7449]

😍😍😍 seeing it spinning looks even better

[@ianackers8418]

Absolutely stunning. Bravo Alfa.

[@PetrolPed]

Many thanks!

[@chr970]

There is a reason the only car channel I subscribe to is Petrol Ped. Master job sir on this review. Beyond beautiful, absolutely stunning. Work of gorgeous art. Again, felt like I was there. Little things like you not touching the car reflects your love of automobile. Did you say the 620 horses on....full chat ?! Haha I’m going to use that. What a car. I hope you get to drive it one Petrol.....cheers from Canada 🇨🇦👍 I needed a tissue to wipe my eye after this.

[@PetrolPed]

Wow thank for this. So glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@zzhughesd]

Unbelievably beautiful. Insane. Is this the 8C red. It’s something else this car.

[@stanislas4990]

Great video with a lot of information. The 33 Stradale, the old one and the new one, are stunning. There are two brands able to create timeless cars with a better design: Ferrari and Alfa Romeo. If you compare with any other car brands, the uniqueness of Alfa Romeo and Ferrari is obvious.

[@footey7670]

It’s epic congrats Alfa 👍🏻👊🏻🇨🇦!! Thx for bringing it to us Pete !!

[@PetrolPed]

Only 18 were made. None have sold publicly for a long time. That one belongs to Alfa. Think of a very big number and add some zeroes 😂

[@GiampietroDiSanto]

Tipo 33 are extremely rare (just 18 made) and buying and selling is private so the exact quotation is unknown but it's thought to be around 15 million euros.

Agree Rob, unfortunately, from my experience many years ago of the absolutely appalling attitude from my local dealer of who should and shouldn’t own an Alfa means I don’t think that will ever be the case for me. Shame.

A truly beautiful car ! Thanks Ped for that 20 minute walk around. Hopefully, as you suggested, Alfa will produce a smaller, higher quantity ‘spirit of 33’ type off-shoot akin to the 4C compared to the 8C…

[@PetrolPed]

We shall see 🤞

[@terrymolloy6997]

Never has an Alpha Romeo, but I alway loved the styling...quite unlike anything and yet affordable, except the Tipo 33😂

[@garyg3617]

I thought nothing could be more beautiful than the 33 Tipo. They have done it, it is stunning. The thing I find makes it look nicer is the wheels and tyres being closer in size on the new car. The only thing I think doesn’t look right on the Tipo is the big difference in wheel size. I am sure people will disagree but that’s my taste, or lack if it!

[@mrmawson2438]

I'm back and yes it looks nice

Hmm, great video Ped. Both are great looking cars except for the headlights. They don’t quite work on either car to my eyes. Are they a bit too big?

Utterly stunning Italian design at its peak .Unfortunately with only 33 to be made and £1.7 million unlikely witness on the road will be put into collection maybe Alfa can put design into an affordable version?

I bet you wish you could have driven it. That has to be the most beautiful car I think I have ever seen. It is not my favourite reinvention of a classic, that is still reserved for the Defender but then I am a huge JLR fan. It looks like a bit Ferrari like and if you had no thumb nail on your video and it had a Ferrari badge it would not have surprised me but it almost feels to me that with an Alfa badge it seems to give it more heritage. The rear view is the view that does it for me with the back lights that when lit I am sure will look like the afterburners on a fighter jet. Stunning car plain and simple.

[@PetrolPed]

Yep 👍

[@worldofcars_ldn]

Stunning car but a question I have is does it share underpinnings with the MC20?

[@PetrolPed]

Yes. The basic tub is from MC20 👍

[@worldofcars_ldn]

Ahh thought there might have been. Didn’t think Alfa would have had the funding to develop something 100% unique and new for them only, especially when such a small number of cars to be produced. Still looking forward to your full test drive review!

Great video, i think the Ferrari 288 GTO pushes it as most beautiful car, in my opinion.

Good morning!

[@peterleighton279]

If there are 33 lights in the headlamp cluster I reckon they missed a trick to make each one unique - why didn’t they make the light conforming to the build number in red or yellow? Then anyone in the know would be able to immediately tell which build number that car is. A unique selling point I reckon.

[@landhopper4296]

I’d be very happy if I was one of the 33. Not least because I’d be absolutely loaded!

[@PetrolPed]

😂😂😂

[@4literv6]

This was just as interesting as your insider view of the caterham project V! 👍🏻😎 It's so amusing to me contemplating a production run of 33 cars, vs most automotive oems claim they need to make hundreds of thousands in order to pay back the tooling costs. Plus 75-85,000,000+ personal use light duty vehicles are made globally each year. So stuff like this is literally only for the . 001% ers as it is. 😅

[@craigfreger7958]

Agree on advanced auto design peaking in the 1960’s. Engineering, materials, and manufacturing methods had progressed to where complex shapes and lighter structures were possible; lack of safety and environmental regulations meant less restrictions on the imaginations of designers. Contemporary vehicles are objectively better, but generally not as beautiful.
