At the renowned “Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este,” which since 1929 has celebrated the most beautiful vintage cars and, since 2022, the most fascinating prototypes, the new Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale has won the coveted “Design Concept Award.” This triumph confirms the 33 Stradale as a unique and unrepeatable work of art in motion.
A Legacy of Excellence
This prestigious accolade marks the fifth time an Alfa Romeo car has received this award, following the Brera, 8C Competizione, 8C Spider, TZ3, and Alfa Romeo 4C Concept models. Alfa Romeo holds the distinction of being the only brand to have won both main prizes at the event, the “Coppa d'Oro” and “Design Concept Award,” in the same year. This was first achieved in 2002 with the Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 and Alfa Romeo Brera, and again in 2012 with the Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 GS (series 6, 1933) and Alfa Romeo 4C Concept.
The 33 Stradale: A Modern Masterpiece
This year, the award was bestowed upon the new Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale, a car that serves as a ‘manifesto’ of the Italian brand’s capabilities in terms of style and driving experience. The new 33 Stradale is directly inspired by the Tipo 33, a legendary name in world motoring and an icon of the 1960s, still considered one of the most beautiful cars of all time. Produced in only 33 exclusive units, this two-seater coupé seamlessly combines heritage with modernity, crafted through an artisanal process reminiscent of the Renaissance artisan boutiques and the 1960s workshops of renowned Italian coachbuilders.
Design and Aesthetics
The success of the magnificent new 33 Stradale is attributed to its undisputed sculptural beauty, introducing new design elements from Alfa Romeo’s evolving language of style. The exterior epitomizes “necessary beauty,” achieving a perfect balance between proportions, volumes, and surface processing. The interior stands out for its minimalist design, creating an engaging environment with materials that emphasize the driving experience, all while respecting the aesthetics and technology of the original 1967 33 Stradale.
Alfa Romeo's Unmatched Craftsmanship
The new Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale showcases the brand’s dedication to craftsmanship and innovation. Each of the 33 units is meticulously handcrafted, reflecting the brand’s commitment to quality and attention to detail. This approach ensures that each car is a unique piece of art, tailored to the exact specifications of its owner.
Alfa Romeo’s Continued Influence
The new 33 Stradale’s triumph at the Concorso d'Eleganza di Villa d'Este highlights Alfa Romeo’s enduring influence in the automotive world. The brand’s legacy of producing beautiful, high-performance vehicles continues to resonate with car enthusiasts and collectors alike.
