[bmwz4coupe]

13 times more expensive than the technical identical MC20….

Not sure where you got the last sentence from, as it's not mentioned in the article you linked.

From Alfa's own press release:

Well I simply copied it over and gave the Source. They've completely rewritten that entire "Powertrain" paragraph and I know for a fact others were saying the same as us about the Alfa Romeo engine vis a vis a the "Nettuno" unit.

It's not even recognisable.

So what do I do, screenshot everything now too? Smh.

Can't say, but this is definitely on EVO Magazine, it's absolutely nothing I've done.

From Alfa's own press release:

See? If you cut and paste the first paragraph into Google Search, it matches exactly what I copied initially.

Unfortunately you can't get the whole paragraph using this method, but it proves my point, they've changed it, so I guess that's that then, screenshots ahead.

Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale: This Is It

Just 33 of this limited edition supercar will be made.

jalopnik.com

So a plug in hybrid variant because "Alfa says."

You can't make this up!

Gorgerous coachbuilding car!

Not truly impressive by the numbers (but Price lol) but it's a gorgerous car for sure.

Meh...
Bunch of idiots. What does an utterly overpriced MC20 brings to the table?

They still don't have a Giulia coupe or wagon; no replacement for the Giulietta, Mito, no Spider, nor an E segment car.... But hey, we have a halo car
I don't even think it looks gorgeous, just ok; more like a bad take on the De Tomaso, which already looks like a cartoonish take on old 330P4, 33 Stradale, etc.

Finally, how many times are they going to change the design language in a few years....they had a very cohesive theme until 159/Brera, then curvy/retro 8C came and they put that style on Mito and Giulietta, then reverse it on Giulia/Stelvio, and now back to vintage......

I wonder if it wasn't for the Italian government's minister and agencies using Giulias everywhere, would they be still alive.

Also, who the f hade the idea of this chintzy, cheesy phrase?

Just as bad as those framed, motivational sentences they sell to hang in your bathroom or office.

I like those chintzy phrases!

I like those chintzy phrases!

Can I see a picture of your desk, please?

The direction of the rev counter and speedometer hurt my eyes and brain. Why over complicate things for the sake of being different?

Wow this car is an absolute beauty!! I am in love. Alfa Romeo you are a genius brand!!!

Check the rear design on this car, man it is so gorgeous!

So many thoughts, particularly as I feel some irrational attachment for Alfa to do well.....

1) I very much like the styling, but don't love it. As the name suggests it's very much a tribute to the 33 Stradale by modernizing every aspect of the original. So the problem lies in that I'd rather have an Alfa supercar that was inspired by the 33 with a more overall forward-looking design language. One reason for doing a halo car is to declare a statement of intent of what lies ahead. If the statement is that future Alfas are going to crib elements from this homage, then I feel conflicted.

2) For such a hyped car, only 33 production cars is just BS. At least 100-200 ought to be produced.

3) The switchgear and interior looks very promising. I wish there were close-up pics of the overhead switches. Which leads me to my next point...

4) It looks like the screen seen in sketches is omitted, so how does one interface with HVAC controls?

5) I am sure it sensible to use the MC20 Nettuno engine in car whose platform is based on the MC20, but I'd rather they'd use the 2.9L V6 from the Giulia/Stelvio QF.

6) I am curious what the take-rate of the BEV version is versus the ICEV. Considering it's being cast as direct homage of the Tipo 33, I don't see why anyone would get a BEV of this.

Right now, I feel like I should be head-over-heels lusting for this, but for I am not. Then again, I've been feeling absolutely off these past 48 hours. Maybe on another day, I'll feel an unrelenting desire for this, I am just not there right now.

The original 33 Stradale was IMO the single most beautiful car -

Pure form follows function.

This new, while it looks stunning at first glance, when you soak it in, you realize is just an overdesigned, gaudy bauble. The only value, really is, there will be only 33 of them.

well, i done messed up. TopGear and EVO are stating it's an evolution of QF's V6.

Front gives my 720S vibes.

It looks a bit riced to be honest. But nevertheless probs to Alfa for doing it I guess.
