FIRST LOOK: 620bhp/750bhp, £1.7m Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale | Top Gear

Meet the new Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale, a ‘fuoriserie’ (limited edition) super sports car whose debt to its Sixties forebear is so strong they haven’t even bothered to change the name.
It can be had with either a 3.0-litre, twin-turbo V6 making 620bhp or as a BEV that will most likely run three electric motors for more than 750bhp (Alfa is keeping its powder dry on the exact details for now.) It uses a carbon fibre monocoque with aluminium front and rear subframes. And it will be manufactured in a limited run of just 33 cars by celebrated Milanese carrozzeria, Touring Superleggera for maximum personalisation.
Want one? Rumours are it’ll start from £1.7m plus taxes and they’re only building 33. So instead, let Jason Barlow be your guide to Alfa’s new
masterpiece.

I think a lot of people are getting fed up of all the complications of screens here and there and having to go through menu's to het to the things that you really want. Also the safety aspect of having what you need to hand /button/switch. And the simple and cool design. It just works. And that's what you actually need.

Such a classic design with lovely curves and beautiful detailing.. Am certain I will never see one of these for real, but it’s nice knowing they exist.

Good to see Alfa making cars like this, that interior is gorgeous

[@dash-ryan]

Beautiful car. A work of art!! And like most of the best works of art, you can't touch, can't buy it and can only admire it from afar. My hat off to the Alfa Romeo designers whose talent can be appreciated by all those whose eyes fall on this design, and hat off to the Alfa Romeo engineers whose talent will only be appreciated by exactly only 33 people. That's why you have to respect even more the companies and engineers that come close to a car like this, but have cars you can touch, buy and drive. Their talent will always be appreciated by more people than the engineers of this car.

Top 3 car design of the past decade. Ferarri Roma, Aston Martin DB11 are the only other contenders IMO and neither has the "wow" factor the 33 has. The 33 design isn't "perfect" IMO, no car design is, but it's pretty damn close. All it's missing is the exposed gear box and exhaust of the original. I think that would push it from a 9/10 to perfection.

[@petris610]

I absolutely love seeing brands with Formula 1 connections trickling down the insane amount of information and engineering they learn from the sport and seeing it implemented in road cars. Forumla 1 may not be the invention of things that make going fast around a track, but there is no question they perfect new technology. When that new technology like drag reduction systems, air flow, down force and ground effect are watered down and implemented in road cars the right way, it just ends up in perfection nearly every time. Absolutely love it. These car reviews for me are always missing Clarkson though. Nobody in the world can introduce and describe a car like him and I think he would have loved to describe this one.

I can definitely see the homage to the original in shape and lights, but it looks a lot like a 4C, all grown up. I love everything they did with the lighting and the elegant simplicity of the interior. They added the one LED panel that was needed and still kept a classical look to it. Hard to believe they built this. I like the front shales and character of the headlights, which ties in with the taillights, but it seems like a bit of a missed opportunity, having not tied that character into the side intakes behind the doors.
