Alfa’s first supercar in years is also its first electric car – and a £2.6m tribute to one of its most famous racers
Drivers can choose between Strada and Pista mode. Alfa Romeo said it had the"amibitious" goal of ensuring the car was as at home on track as on the road, thus giving the driver a more comfortable ride in road mode with slower throttle response, softer suspension and – on the V6 car – exhaust valves that don't open until 5000rpm. Track mode, meanwhile, sharpens the throttle response, stiffens its front and rear double-wishbone suspension and keeps the exhaust valve open constantly.
To help keep weight down, the 33 Stradale's monocoque chassis is made out of carbonfibre and its body frame from aluminium. The window frames are also carbonfibre and lightweight door hinges are fitted for the Stradale’s striking butterfly doors. In the design of the 33 Stradale, Alfa Romeo has tried to match the proportions of the original car as closely as possible. From the front, it uses the familiar 'V' shaped grille, called the Scudetto Shield, with an overall profile optimised for aerodynamics and “necessary beauty”, the brand claims.
The steering wheel does without buttons entirely, with certain physical controls instead mounted above the driver’s head on the ceiling - a feature that, Alfa says, is designed to make the interior feel like an aeroplane cockpit. In keeping with the pure and simple ethos, just two specifications are available – Tributo and Alfa Corse – and three colours: blue, red, and a white and red livery paying tribute to the design of the 33 Stradale racer.
