Built in only 33 units, Alfa Romeo's new two-seater coupe is ready for delivery. The first example of the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale completed the production process on December 17, a date that has an important symbolic value, because in 1966 Carlo Chiti entrusted Franco Scaglione with the study of the bodywork of what would become the 33 Stradale.
Exactly 58 years later, the first example of the new generation is ready to welcome its first customer, a member of Club 33 who, for reasons of confidentiality, remains anonymous, just as we do not know the configuration of the car.
Two years of waiting
The customer has been waiting for this Alfa Romeo since the Monza Grand Prix in September 2022. From that moment on, a discussion began, both virtually and in person, with the Alfa Romeo team to define the customization of the car, exactly as it happened in the workshops of the famous Italian coachbuilders of the 20th century.
The final version of the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale, remember, carried out development tests first on the Nardò Ring, then at Balocco. It was on the Stellantis Experimental Center circuit that Valtteri Bottas, Formula 1 driver of the Alfa Romeo team and future owner of the car, put the new supercar to the test to perfect its settings, steering and brakes.

At the end of the trials he commented:
“Being able to test the 33 Stradale was a very special opportunity. I hope that my feedback will be useful to the experienced Alfa Romeo development team for the final tuning. Configure my personal car with the Alfa Romeo workshop was engaging and exciting, testing it today was really exciting Now I just have to wait for my 33 Stradale to be ready!”
