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.

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.
