Alfa Romeo reveals the 4C Spider 33 Stradale Tributo

Alfa Romeo has unveiled the 4C Spider 33 Stradale Tributo, inspired by the 1967 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale, the brand's legendary mid-engine sports car. Production is limited strictly to 33 units, with all the cars being allotted solely for the North American market.

The 4C Spider 33 Stradale Tributo comes exclusively in Rosso Villa d'Este tri-coat exterior colour, with grey-gold wheels measuring 18-inches in front and 19-inches in the rear, composite sport seats covered in black Dinamica suede and tobacco leather.

Prominently displayed in the cockpit, the 4C Spider 33 Stradale Tributo features dedicated plaques on the dash, side sills and center console, the last of which is progressively numbered.

Customers also get treated to a matching, numbered book designed by Centro Stile that chronicles the 4C's design concept, technology, materials and Modena assembly facility as well as the history of the 33 Stradale.

The 4C's racing pedigree is evident in its Formula One-inspired carbon fibre monocoque chassis, presented for the first time in a red transparent finish.

Furthermore, much of the 4C Spider 33 Stradale Tributo's equipment, previously optional on the 4C Spider, now comes standard, including an Akrapovic dual-mode centre-mounted exhaust, race-tuned suspension, bi-xenon headlamps, battery charger, car cover, suede-leather seats and carbon fibre halo, rear wing and Italian flag mirror caps.

Completing the refined exterior treatment are new 'Centro Stile Alfa Romeo' badges and piano-black front air intake and rear diffuser.

The 4C Spider 33 Stradale Tributo is powered by a turbocharged 1.8-litre inline four-cylinder engine producing 234bhp and 350Nm of torque, paired with a six-speed dual-clutch transmission.

Weighing less than 1,134kg, the 4C Spider 33 Stradale Tributo accelerates from zero to 100km/h in 4.2 seconds and on to a top speed of 257km/h.
