138-613: The Paris Salon de L'Auto on 5 October 1967. The first prototype (chassis no. 10533.01) was built at Autodelta's workshop in Settimo Milanese, side by side with the Tipo 33 "Periscopica" race car in 1967. The body was built by Franco Scaglione and his team from Carrozzeria Marazzi, while Autodelta worked on the technical aspects of the car.

207-554: The Stradale is a road legal car, it has some limitations which may make the everyday use slightly hard, for example missing locks and limited ground clearance. The car takes less than six seconds to attain 100 km/h (62 mph) from a standing start and has a claimed top speed of 260 km/h (160 mph). In 1968, the German Auto, Motor und Sport magazine measured a top speed of 252 km/h (156.6 mph) and 24.0 seconds for

230-573: The Tipo 33 race car, with upper and lower control arms in the front and double trailing arms in the rear, along with substantial anti-roll bars . The race-bred engine bore no resemblance to the mass-produced units in Alfa Romeo's more mainstream vehicles. The engine is closely related to the V8 of the Montreal , albeit with a smaller displacement and a higher power output. The engines, despite being derived from

253-475: The Tipo 33 racer cars, differed in many details. For example, the 33 Stradale's engines had chain driven camshafts as opposed to the racers' gear driven ones, but the Stradale kept the racing engine's flat plane crankshaft , whereas the Montreal engine had a crossplane crank. Race engineer Carlo Chiti had designed an oversquare bore x stroke of 78 mm × 52.2 mm (3.07 in × 2.06 in) while

276-599: The all-aluminum 1,995 cc (2.0 L) V8 engine was dry-sump lubricated featuring SPICA fuel injection with four ignition coils and twin spark plugs per cylinder. The engine used four chain-driven camshafts to operate the 2 valves per cylinder valvetrain featuring dual overhead camshafts and had a rev-limit of 10,000 rpm with a compression ratio of 10.5:1 The engine has a maximum power output of 230 PS (227 hp; 169 kW) at 8,800 rpm and 206 N⋅m (152 lb⋅ft) at 7,000 rpm of torque in road trim and 270 PS (266 hp; 199 kW) in race trim. Due to

299-540: The angular and bold styling of the 1970s. The car is equipped with 2-litre fuel injected ( SPICA ) V8 engine producing a power output of around 233 PS (171 kW; 230 hp) at 8,800 rpm. Between 1968 and 1971, Italian design house Pininfarina designed a total of three vehicles on 33 Stradale chassis: The Alfa Romeo P33 Roadster was presented to the public at the Turin Motor Show in November 1968. It

322-431: The base and on top of the windshield -frame, allowing the 33 Stradale to also feature side windows which seamlessly curve upward into the roof/canopy of its body. Most cars feature an aluminium body on an aluminium tubular chassis. As a result of being built by hand, each model differs from the others in some details. For example, the position of the windscreen wiper, and some of the later cars having vents added behind both

345-406: The front and rear wheels to allow hot air from the brakes to escape is a differentiating factor. The car has 13 inches (33 cm) Campagnolo magnesium-alloy wheels – the front and the rear wheels are 8 and 9 inches (20 and 23 cm) wide respectively; the brakes used are disc brakes manufactured by Girling , the rear ones are inboard . The suspension system of the car is directly derived from

368-463: The hand-built nature of the drivetrain, the power output levels can vary by each car produced, for example the first production Stradale (No. 750.33.101) has a factory datasheet that states a power output of 243 PS (240 hp; 179 kW) at 9,400 rpm with a "street" exhaust and 254 PS (251 hp; 187 kW) with open exhaust. The transmission is a 6-speed unit similar to the Tipo 33 race car, designed by Colotti Trasmissioni . Although

391-425: The standing kilometer which made it the fastest commercially available car for this distance at the time. It achieved this using an engine less than half the displacement of those in high-performance contemporary sports cars such as the Lamborghini Miura , Ferrari Daytona , and Maserati Ghibli . Six concept cars were built on 33 Stradale chassis with bodies designed by various Italian coachbuilders. The Carabo

414-525: Was an open-top vehicle with a lower windscreen and a roll bar at rear painted in the colour of the body of the car. The chassis was re-bodied two years later to produce the Cuneo. The Alfa Romeo 33/2 Coupé Speciale , also known as Alfa Romeo 33.2 , was first presented to the public at the Paris Motor Show in 1969. This 2-door coupé was designed by Leonardo Fioravanti , then working at Pininfarina. It bears

437-522: Was derived from the Tipo 33 sports prototype . Built in an attempt by Alfa Romeo to make some of its racing technology available to the public, it was also the most expensive automobile for sale to the public in 1968 at US$ 17,000. The 33 Stradale was based on the Autodelta Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 racing car. The car, designed by Franco Scaglione , and built by Carrozzeria Marazzi , made its debut at

460-742: Was introduced at the Sport Car Show in Monza, Italy in September 1967. The prototype (chassis No. 105.33.01) was sold to the Gallery Abarth in Japan. The second magnesium bodied Stradale prototype (chassis No. 105.33.12) and the five concept cars are now part of the Alfa Romeo Museum . The 33 Stradale is one of the first production vehicles to feature forward- and upward-opening butterfly doors , hinged both at

483-525: Was presented at the Turin Motor Show in November 1969. It is a two-seater sports coupé built on chassis No. 750.33.116. The design showed some new elements, that Giugiaro introduced later in production vehicle designs. The body of the Iguana was painted a metal-flake grey, while the roof frame and cabin pillars were finished in brushed metal, a treatment Giugiaro later applied to the DMC DeLorean . The front end of

506-559: Was started by Scaglione. However, Marazzi did not finish this until 1968. The two prototypes are the only ones to have the dual headlight arrangement. This was redesigned by Scaglione on the production cars due to regulations on minimum headlight distance from the ground. The two prototypes carry the project's original serial numbers, 105.33.xx. However, the Tipo 33 racing- and production cars got 750.33.0xx (racing) and 750.33.1xx (stradale) chassis numbers. Marazzi claims to have built 18 chassis. 5 of them were used for 6 concept cars (one chassis

529-402: Was used twice) by Pininfarina, Bertone and Giugiaro/Italdesign and 8 were used for production cars. The rest of the chassis numbers are not confirmed due to a lack of available information as the exact number (allegedly 18) of actual Stradale-chassis (with a 10 cm longer wheelbase than the race cars) doesn't quite match the range of chassis numbers. The production version of the 33 Stradale
