Switching from a Porsche 911 GT2 RS to a Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale It's not just a change of cars. It's a change of worlds.

On Instagram, an enthusiast known by the username Stradalou has just unveiled one of the most exclusive examples of modern Italian automotive design. According to his posts, he is now the owner of the 33 Stradale, number 10. His car was reportedly delivered to him on April 20, 2026—just over a year after the delivery of the very first model, which took place on December 17, 2024.

What makes this story interesting is the owner’s profile. Browsing through his Instagram account, you’ll discover a true Porsche enthusiast. A 911 GT2 RS, a 911 Carrera 4S (Type 992), and even a Mini John Cooper Works GP3 regularly appear in his older posts. These are radical, high-performance cars renowned for their efficiency. And yet, it is indeed a Alfa Romeo which seems to take up the most space in his garage these days.

The story between Stradalou and his 33 Stradale isn’t exactly a new one. As early as the spring of 2025, he was already sharing images of the car being built in the Touring Superleggera workshops. These images revealed, among other things, the still-bare chassis, the carbon-fiber body panels, and certain stages of the assembly process for this handcrafted supercar built in Turin.

These images highlight the 33 Stradale’s exceptionally exclusive manufacturing process. Each model is hand-assembled by Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera, featuring a carbon-fiber monocoque, a composite body, and extensive customization carried out at the «Bottega Alfa Romeo» in Arese.

The result is an extraordinary car. Measuring 4.63 meters long and just 1.22 meters high, the 33 Stradale draws inspiration from the legendary Tipo 33 of the 1960s while incorporating modern technology. Its 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine produces 620 ch and 730 Nm, delivered to the rear wheels. Alfa Romeo claims a 0 to 100 km/h time of just 3 seconds and a top speed of 333 km/h.

In the owner’s most recent posts, it’s interesting to note that he doesn’t seem to view his 33 Stradale as merely a collector’s item. The photos show the car on mountain roads, or in front of a French mansion, with its butterfly doors open.

Even better, Stradalou recently announced that it would be heading to Le Mans Classic in the coming days. This decision stands in stark contrast to the usual image of multi-million-euro hypercars kept in climate-controlled garages.

With only 33 units produced and a starting price of around 3 million euros, the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale remains one of the rarest cars of the decade. Seeing one of these cars cruising the roads of Europe rather than sitting under a cover is, after all, perhaps the best possible advertisement for Alfa Romeo.
