I never ever understood my friends when they were ranting about shoes and bags and make up and jewelrly....meanwhile I was like "have you ever heard the voice of a 33 stradale?" This is what it's like being the daughter of a mechanical engineer with a passion for cars
+Ancient If I find a husband who shares my passion for cars then I'll be a happy wife :) I'd never ask him to spend money on shoes and bags and rings and necklaces, to me the best jewels are in my garage :)
+Ancient i get that a lot, the "it's not a girly passion"...and it's annoying actually. I guess there are guys somewhere who likes girly stuff :) I think it depends on how you grow up, honestly cars are beautiful to look at but most girls are not interested because they grow up with other interest. My dad started taking me to see rallies when I was 5, I couldn't grow up differently :D
I saw this car in a Italian film for the first time,and I was impressed from both,the look and sound of the car,plus the gorgeous Gina Lollobrigida,( who was playing in that film),seducing her nephew. If somebody want to see them both,the film is "Un bellissimo Novembre, (1969)".
There was an autodelta 3.0 litre V8 , I believe it was a twin spark . Street Montreal had a 2.6 litre V8 with mechanical injection ( SPICA) .. there are a couple here in Sydney that have been converted to modern electronic injection , it really makes a big difference , much smoother delivery of fuel / power .. :-) These are the things that make your heart sing :-)
Yes, the video you're talking about shows the Ferrari 330 P4, which has an uncanny resemblance to the Alpha 33 Stradale, even the model #'s are similar, I have always wondered if these 2 cars were built by the same team?
Yes in fact, the Stradale had a tubular steel and aluminuim box spar chassis construction, and hand formed aluminuim panels, only 18 of these macnificent cars were ever build, and this was in the early 60's, as a matter of fact if they had produced more, this would without a doubt have been the fastest production car then. Engine was a Autodelta in-house develloped 2 litre quad-cam motor. The Montreal came in the 70's, it's 2.6 does not share origins with the 2 litre from the stradale.
Saw one yesterday at the Chicago auto show at the Alfa Romeo display! They didn't even have any signs up to say what it was so no one had any idea what they were looking it. It was on display between 2 4C's and everyone was just walking by it like "ah cool an old car... Wow but look at that fancy new one it looks cooler!" Hahaha I saw it and immediately shit my pants... And yes it was real, I asked. Apparently it was won at auction for $12 mil
+Jason Holtkamp It's very disappointing when people look at the cookie cutter car next to a true historic influence like the 33 and dont understand the aura around the beautiful classic machine.
I just saw it at the NY Auto Show. I spotted a 6" section of the tail section from 30' away between the legs of people and nearly shit myself. I ran for it. Wife thought I went nuts. And yes. All the morons were crowded around the C4 right next to it. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't thumb my nose at a C4 but it didn't bear a second look in the presence of this classic masterpiece.
+Tiki its not made by hand, most of the assembly is automated and doesnt leave very much to differ from one 4c to another. They come out almost identical to one another with no visual or mechanical differences.... hence cookie cutter. Volume of production doesnt necessarily determine a cookie cutter or not.
The carbon fiber chassis manufacturing, and the assembly is done by hand (with power tool assistance obviously, but not a robot production line). Look at the how it's made video Every car is "cookie cutter" by your definition unless it was made in a shed- no modern manufacturer would hammer body panels to shape when a press is cheaper and faster and better and more consistent.
That Engine is indestructable ... so too was the gearbox.. as far as the rest .. it probably shares components with the Montreal ..... the body work is space frame .. with a skin .. with todays technology if we got together a bunch of talented alfa lovers ( with some money ) .. you could probably make a very good carbon fibre 2012 replica
With a 700 kilogram total weight (1,540 pounds) car. I have never seen one in person, but it is obvious to me that Alfa Romeo did some DNA splicing to get the 4c.
Thats a replica I would build too. I don't know how hard it would be to get a Montreal engine but I would do it. I thought the Montreal had a 3.0 litre V8? This is a 2. something I thought. Probably make the same noises, and thats all that counts.
@kirkconway You see this all the time if you go to a classic race event like the Goodwood Revival, and by experienced engineers/mechanics, the car is in neutral, now it would be a different thing driving it off cold and thrashing it.
No no, this was an Autodelta Alfa in-house develloped engine, at the time, Ferrari had nothing that came close.. In fact, Alfa never ever used any of Ferrari's engines. On the other hand, in the 30's and 40's Ferrari used complete Alfa Romeo racecars fitted with prancing horse badges to win races, cos they could not yet design and build anything worth 4 wheels, but today sadly, very few people know the sgnificance of Alfa Romeo in the success of Ferrari. Alfa forever.
che bellezza..che sinuosità da ogni punto di vista...per non parlare delle prestazioni da eccellenza!!...perché ora l'alfa è dietro a bmw audi ecc.....
THE ALFA ROMEO HAVE AN AMAZING VARIETY TWO SEATERS THAT ARE NOT KNOWN TO THE PUBLIC.... SOME GRATE CLASSICS, WITH REAL INGESTING V8 ENGINES THAT REV TO 8500RPM AND NOT SEEN IN AMERIACA
I Also agree, it would be absolutely possible to reproduce this in kit car form, and then fit it with a Alfa 3.2 v6 GTA motor. Would be wicked fast. I am looking for a kit for the Alfa Giulia TZ1. Anybody?
the person that owns this car probably has enough money to fix anything that goes wrong with the car. Plus whats the point of the car if its just stashed in a museum never to have the engine started again. I'd rather have to fix the car by making a hand built part than just letting it sit there.
yea buy i did if i was next to the guy that was revving that engine up and down for the silly people just to get atten? id deck the guy and fire him too. you dont rev an expensive engine up and down like that when it's cold, the Alfa 33's of 1972 were world beater's.

awesome
Hell yeah
Marry me?
This is my new religion
not really new , but glad you joined in
I was a Roman Catholic since birth... lol
OMG, I just can't take my eyes off it... Che bella macchina!!!
The Best the most wanted the real holy grail.. The Best looking car ever made.. This is a piece of Art.... A superior level ....
This brutal sound from 0:5 to 0:25 is how sport engine must sound. This is it.
It is one of the reasons electric will never win. The sound...
Opera d'arte...
La più bella auto sportiva mai costruita.
THE most beautiful car ever
Este é um dos caros mais bonitos de todos os tempos! FANTÁSTICO!!!!
That sound is so hideously awesome. ♥
Sound of the 60's!
sei sempre la piu' bella

I find low displacement engines fascinating.
this is absolutely masterpiece!
la macchina più bella del mondo forza alfa...

Oh boy.. I just watched a Petrolicious Vid on a 330 p4 and someone recommended watching a Vid on this thing. I can't decide which one I love more..

@@torontowestern good question, even their release date is very close. What we know is that back then they were two different companies.

+Frank Pawloski The 4C is anything but cookie cutter...it doesn't compare to this but it's not exactly a Prius.

I'm having a crisis....
une des plus belles auto ever produced
Guillaume Laplanche "The most". Not "one of the most"
Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous...bravo!
Fantastic! !! Legend !
They don't make them that pretty no more..
Amazing. Rare and classy. No Kardashian even knows what these are.
33 "stradale" by the way, gorgeous video.
Gorgeous car!!! My question is backfiring through the injectors normal on start up???
ALFA ROMEO 33 stradale.... very original italian cars 70!!!!!!
Altro che BMW!!!!!!
Torna grande ALFA!!!!
FA BU LEUX !!
La vrai mécanique à l'ancienne où l'on sent le mélange de l'essence, de l'huile, du bonheur :D
pas mieux!!! J'adore aussi!
bellissima..
If you go to Ebay right now a project is on sale it is the quad light early version.
piango ogni volta che vedo questo video
The model on ebay is a bit too small for me. I need one where I can sit in! :)
To be fair thats probably not much smaller than the actual car
Masterpiece!
fantastic sound
stupenda!un capolvoro..
I wish I lived in the 50’s
Che goduria questo video senza parole!!!
2.0 v8 😍😍😍
That Engine is indestructable ... so too was the gearbox.. as far as the rest .. it probably shares components with the Montreal ..... the body work is space frame .. with a skin .. with todays technology if we got together a bunch of talented alfa lovers ( with some money ) .. you could probably make a very good carbon fibre 2012 replica
@porselanero 100% Alfa Romeo. Only in recent times Alfa and Ferrari are sharing tecnology.
The engine is a V8 2000cc 230Cv @10000rpm (!)
With a 700 kilogram total weight (1,540 pounds) car. I have never seen one in person, but it is obvious to me that Alfa Romeo did some DNA splicing to get the 4c.
Che spettacolo
...estve dentro de um a semana passada..YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS,
oh my word the sound of that thing
art.
That is one of the sounds of the automotive world to make people not give a crap about the environment. I love it.
Legendary
Thats a replica I would build too. I don't know how hard it would be to get a Montreal engine but I would do it. I thought the Montreal had a 3.0 litre V8? This is a 2. something I thought. Probably make the same noises, and thats all that counts.
It's won't make the same sound due to the crankshaft....
@kirkconway You see this all the time if you go to a classic race event like the Goodwood Revival, and by experienced engineers/mechanics, the car is in neutral, now it would be a different thing driving it off cold and thrashing it.
@snakeyes84gr incorrect. It is the most beautiful.
nice car !
sei sempre più bella
Look to 1:28. You see the most beautiful car ever!
No no, this was an Autodelta Alfa in-house develloped engine, at the time, Ferrari had nothing that came close.. In fact, Alfa never ever used any of Ferrari's engines.

Alfa forever.
And Enzo Ferrari was a driver for team Alfa Romeo.
they are worth around the 1million mark
sam newman 10 million mark
@sam newman wow... I thought it would be around 40k... boy was I wrong lol
these times and these cars will not be back :( unless we find another earth with technology level exact to '60s :P
The most beautiful sounding Alfa all time?
actually, the second most beautiful sounding car in the world. The first is the Alfa Romeo F1 3.0 V12. It will make you cry with joy.
...Vorrei essere lo specchio che ti parla e che a ogni tua domanda ti risponda che al mondo tu sei sempre la piu bella...
is that flames through the injector stacks?
史上最高
y can't they make cars like this any more
Only "LaFerrari" gets some sort of near to this car's union between speed and beauty. And it's quite far, yet...
Come te nessuno mai...
not one.. the most beautiful looking car
This is what Sparta's 300 would drive.
che bellezza..che sinuosità da ogni punto di vista...per non parlare delle prestazioni da eccellenza!!...perché ora l'alfa è dietro a bmw audi ecc.....

Racing N
What a sexy beast!
Questa assieme alla ferrari 250 gto sono le macchine più belle che la mente umana potesse creare
Are there 33 Stradale for sale?
Dream
Was the engine built by Alfa Romeo or was swapped from some V8 Ferrari?
No Ferrari here.
I Also agree, it would be absolutely possible to reproduce this in kit car form, and then fit it with a Alfa 3.2 v6 GTA motor. Would be wicked fast. I am looking for a kit for the Alfa Giulia TZ1. Anybody?
Did you find one?
the person that owns this car probably has enough money to fix anything that goes wrong with the car. Plus whats the point of the car if its just stashed in a museum never to have the engine started again. I'd rather have to fix the car by making a hand built part than just letting it sit there.
How much is this?
che sound *__*
VIVALDI
Bugatti Veyroooooooon..............PRRRRRRRRRRR!!!
ALFA ROMEO TUTTA LA VITA !!!
i do think so...they are bmw fan...
purtroppo sono diventati 3...
They dont show the whole car in any part of the video...
I found the film in youtube, www.dailymotion.com/video/x2cvul7_un-bellissimo-novembre-1969-2-2_lifestyle , and you can see the car from 15.33 .
CARBURATA MOLTO GRASSA.
*33 Stradale > 250 GTO*

2 people have no idea about God sounds.
yea buy i did if i was next to the guy that was revving that engine up and down for the silly people just to get atten?
id deck the guy and fire him too.
you dont rev an expensive engine up and down like that when it's cold,
the Alfa 33's of 1972 were world beater's.
Voglio proprio sentire chi si ostina a dire che le tedesche sono migliori! Beccatevi questa....
