Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale: A Symphony at 217mph

Experience the 620hp Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale’s twin-turbo V6 engine as it reaches 217mph at Nardò, delivering a sound that matches its stunning design.

Feeling the Monday blues? Let the mesmerizing sound of the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale’s twin-turbocharged V6 engine lift your spirits. This 620hp masterpiece hit a breathtaking 217mph (333km/h) during testing at Italy’s renowned Nardò track, and the raspy growl of its engine is as captivating as its design.

A Performance Soundtrack

The exhaust note peaks around the 32-second mark in the video, followed by an entrancing rolling shot where the car’s gold Teledial wheels steal the show. It’s a sound that commands attention—raspy, refined, and undeniably unique. Midway through the clip, the engine idles briefly, showcasing a distinct tone that sets it apart from its predecessor, the V6 in the Giulia Quadrifoglio.

For those who opted for the tri-motor electric version, this auditory display might cause second thoughts. After all, how can silence compete with a symphony like this?

A Rare and Coveted Beauty

With only 33 units of the 33 Stradale being produced across both V6 and electric variants, exclusivity is guaranteed. Each unit has already been sold at a staggering pre-tax price of €1.7 million (approximately £1.41 million).

A Minor Complaint

The video overlay features Hans Zimmer’s Stop Watch, recognizable from the film Rush (2013). While the score is a great instrumental, enthusiasts might prefer the raw, uninterrupted sound of the engine to take center stage.

The Verdict

The Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale delivers not only stunning visuals but also a soundscape worthy of its pedigree. Whether at idle or screaming at 217mph, this twin-turbo V6 is a true testament to the art of performance engineering.
