The gorgeous Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale from 1967 is rightfully considered among the most beautiful and desirable automobiles ever produced.
Yet, despite the model's legendary status today, just 13 examples were ultimately constructed between 1967 and 1969, including two prototypes. Finding itself sitting on five more unused 33 Stradale chassis, Alfa Romeo lent them to Italy's most preeminent design houses of the day to be transformed into spectacular motor show prototypes.
The 33's low-slung, race-bred mid-engine chassis provided an ideal platform for advanced design experiments: some of these creations would end up having a lasting impact on the evolution of car design, while others were soon forgotten once the motor show's spotlights switched off. Here's their story. #alfaromeo #history #classiccars #cardesign
