Unveiled some 5 months ago, theAlfa Romeo 33 Stradale is a supercar to which everyone (almost) agrees. At the time of its presentation, we learned that it would be offered to 33 buyers in either combustion or electric versions.
It turned out that, at the time, the electric version was not particularly appealing. because only 2 customers would have positioned themselves. Alfa Romeo was keen to clarify that these buyers still had plenty of time to choose between one version and the other, and therefore the number of 2 was not firm and definitive.
This Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale electric is back in the news today, as the brand's managing director has shared a model on social networks which.., although equipped with exhausts, makes no noise.
At work, on the mock-up 😎 Sound to come ! 😁 #alfaromeo #stellantis pic.twitter.com/7cmc9mk3LR

The words "Sound to come" may suggest that the "fake sound" is not yet the final one. Note that the electric Maserati MC20, due to be presented in 2025, should share the same technology.
Which 2 mabouls have chosen the electric version of the 33 Stradale?
If you have a choice, don't think about it for a second, choose the thermal version with a nice noise instead of silence and aero noises.
More importantly, will they ever be able to resell it? I doubt it, or much cheaper than the thermal version.
As you can see, Alexandre, this electric car and its article attract no one. The hybrid would have made it possible not only to keep the 690T V6, but to have a product with 900hp like the 296GTB and higher engine speed.
Stellantis must understand that starting from an MC20 base is fantastic and they're right, but for the rest it has to come from Alfa and especially a Targa or even Ttop version is essential. It would have sold anyway and filled Alfa Romeo's coffers.
A Stratos with the V6 3.0 Biturbo F160 Ferrari/Maserati in Hybrid would be welcome on this platform, which would just be an ultra-limited coupe like the 33 with a Ttop version and would fill Lancia's coffers.
This would have made it possible to relaunch the Alfieri with the Nettuno, a Montreal with the 690T and a Montecarlo with the F160.
Profitability would be real, and orders would come in at a base price if the extensive options list could be customized as desired.
