The Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale is a sports car manufactured by Italian automobile manufacturer Alfa Romeo. Unveiled on August 30, 2023, the car was made available with two powertrain options, either a 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged 690T V6 engine (which is a development of the engine from the Giulia Quadrifoglio) or an all-electric powertrain option. [4] [3] The project began development in June 2022 at the initiative of Jean-Philippe Imparato, head of Alfa Romeo, taking some of its development work from an abandoned Alfa Romeo project that was used to develop the Maserati MC20. [5] [6] The car is meant to be an homage to the original 1967 model and a limited production of just 33 units is expected to begin in June 2024. The cars will be produced by the Italian coach building firm Touring Superleggera. [7] [8]

Butterfly doors are a type of car door sometimes seen on high-performance cars. They are slightly different from scissor doors. While scissor doors move straight up via hinge points at the bottom of a car's A-pillar, butterfly doors move up and out via hinges along the A-pillar. This makes for easier entry and exit, at the expense of requiring more side clearance than needed for scissor doors.
