The 33 Stradale is the first new Alfa Romeo model revealed under design chief Alejandro Mesonero-Romanos, a former design head at Seat and Dacia who joined the automaker in June 2021.
Alfa says the 33 Stradale’s styling is the epitome of the brand’s “necessary beauty” philosophy, combining technology and aesthetics.
The front end’s sinuous shapes are typical of Alfa Romeo, as is the scudetto (shield) grill. Gullwing-style doors enhance accessibility and ergonomics, Alfa Romeo says. At the rear, the car’s “brutal” essence is defined by a truncated tail.
Alfa Romeo says a drag coefficient of 0.375 Cd is achieved without the assistance of active devices such as movable wings.
The interior is available in the Tributo configuration, a homage to the historic car with leather and aluminum accents, and in the sportier Alfa Corse, which uses carbon fiber and Alcantara.
The driver experience has been “totally purified of all the interactions required in a conventional car,” Alfa Romeo says. The steering wheel has no buttons on it, just aluminum shift paddles.
A limited number of controls can be found on the center console; as in an airplane cockpit, more controls are located on a higher plane, in the central lining on the inside of the roof.
