The Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale has made its first public appearance outside of Italy at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed. It is joined by the new Junior, the first fully electric car from Alfa Romeo, at the Festival in Electric Avenue.
Goodwood – A world-class catwalk for motoring
Held for the first time in 1993 and initially focusing on vintage cars, the Goodwood Festival of Speed is an unmissable event. Over the years, it has become a worldwide benchmark for fans of automotive culture. Open to present-day models since the year 2000, the event includes exhibitions, roadshows and special stages.
A wide range of vehicles take part, from vintage models to Formula 1 cars. The major automakers consider this event as an international showcase for their latest models. This year, for the first time outside of Italy, Alfa Romeo is giving a public presentation of the new custom-built 33 Stradale, and the new Junior compact car.
Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale
The Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale is on display in the “Supercar Paddock” section, open throughout the event. A few weeks ago, it featured at another renowned international event, the “Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este”, which since 1929 has been selecting the most beautiful vintage cars, alongside the most appealing prototypes since 2002. The new Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale won the coveted Design Concept Award, confirming it as a work of art in motion.
The new Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale acts as the brand’s ‘manifesto’, in terms of style, technology, and driving experience. The new custom-built car is based directly on the Tipo 33, a big name in world motoring and an icon of the 1960s, to this day still considered one of the most beautiful cars of all time. Made in only 33 exclusive units, the new two-seater coupé combines heritage and the future, and is produced according to a unique artisanal process, exactly the same way as in Renaissance artisan boutiques, and in the 1960s workshops of renowned Italian coachbuilders.
Alfa Romeo Junior
The new Alfa Romeo Junior, the first for the brand with a full-electric powertrain, is also on display to the public in the dedicated “Electric Avenue” area. Junior is sporty at heart, compact in size and Italian at first sight. The ELETTRICA is available in two power levels, 156 hp or the higher-performance 280 hp. Both versions serve as icons of Alfa Romeo’s sporting DNA, traditionally everyday cars with best-in-class driving dynamics.
They bring Alfa Romeo’s typical driving pleasure to the compact segment, by means of specific technical solutions resulting from a development process coordinated by the same team of Italian engineers who have breathed life into extraordinary past projects such as Giulia GTA, 4C, Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio, 4C.
