Yhe Alfa Romeo 33 stradale has always been my most favorite car design of all times. It was the road going version of Alfas 33 Sports and racing cars. It was built from 1967 till 1969 and the amazing beautiful body is from italian designer Franco Scaglione. The engine is a V8 of only 1995 cubic cm 230 HP with double overhead camshafts, electronic ignition and a gearbox with 6 gears. The weight was an amazing low 700 kg.
Top speed 260 km per hour. I saw the car first time in real in Alfas Arese Museum and as it was only 99 cm high it reached bearly to my middle.....I stood there for minutes just awe struck and dreaming.... No other car ever made such an impression on me.
