This very rare Alfa Romeo TZ3 Stradale, with Dodge Viper V10 engine, is for sale!

Alfa Romeo has never ceased to inspire enthusiasts. And today, a rare gem is resurfacing on the second-hand market: the Alfa Romeo TZ3 Stradale. A stunning fusion of Italian design by Zagato and American muscle by Dodge, this unique sports car is currently for sale... for the modest sum of 675,000 $.

A work of art on wheels

While Zagato has just unveiled Alfa Romeo 8C DoppiaCodaThe TZ3 Stradale was unveiled in 2010 to mark Alfa Romeo's centenary. Only 9 examples were produced, and the one offered today by Young Motorcars is No. 5 in this mini-series. Its body is finished in an elegant dark metallic blue, and its interior exudes luxury with refined caramel leather. This car has covered just 1,863 miles (approx. 3,000 km), spending most of its life in a private collection in Arizona.

Under the hood: the heart of a Dodge Viper

But what makes the TZ3 Stradale even more unique is its mechanics. In fact, Zagato chose to install an 8.4-liter V10 from the Dodge Viper ACR-X in this Italian. The result: 640 hp transmitted to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual gearbox. The result is a 0-100 kph time of just 3 seconds, with a top speed in excess of 320 kph.

Zagato has drawn on Alfa Romeo's history to design this TZ3. It takes its inspiration from the Tubolare Zagato models of the 1960s, combining classic, aerodynamic lines with modern technology. The carbon-fiber body and tubular structure keep the weight down to just 850 kg, offering a raw, exhilarating driving experience.

A unique opportunity... at an (almost) reasonable price

At the time of its launch, the Alfa Romeo TZ3 Stradale was priced at over one million dollars. Today, the example on offer is priced at 675,000 $. A substantial sum, but almost "affordable" in view of its rarity, pedigree and near-new condition. For collectors, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
