Alfa Romeo has released a new version of the 4C Spider, the 33 Stradale Tributo, inspired by the 1967 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale. Just 33 examples of the special spider will be produced for the North American market.
The 1967 33 Stradale is an iconic Alfa Romeo that debuted at Monza circuit on August 31, 1967, on the eve of the 1967 Formula One Italian Grand Prix. The original 33 Stradale was a hand-built Franco Scaglione-penned mid-engine exotic based on the Tipo 33 race car that won its class at the 1968 24 Hours of Daytona. Only 18 chassis were ever produced, with most completed cars painted in Alfa’s signature red, with gray-gold wheels and black-and-tobacco interior.
The new 4C Spider 33 Stradale tribute is offered exclusively in Rosso Villa d’Este tri-coat exterior color, with gray-gold 5-hole alloy wheels and composite sport seats covered in black Dinamica® suede and tobacco leather. Prominently displayed in the cockpit, the 4C Spider 33 Stradale Tributo features dedicated plaques on the dash, side sills, and center console, the last of which is progressively numbered. Customers also get treated to a matching, numbered book designed by Centro Stile that chronicles the 4C’s design concept, technology, materials, and Modena assembly facility as well as the history of the 33 Stradale.
The 4C Spider 33 Stradale Tributo’s advanced technologies include a 6-speed Alfa twin-clutch transmission and all-aluminum 1750cc turbocharged engine with direct-injection, dual intercoolers, and variable-valve timing, producing 237 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque. Weighing less than 2,500 pounds, the 4C Spider 33 Stradale Tributo delivers an impressive power-to-weight ratio of 10.4 lb/hp and achieves 0-60 mph in 4.1 seconds and a top speed of 160 mph. The 2020 Alfa Romeo 4C Spider 33 Stradale Tributo marks the final production run of the 4C Spider for North America.
