Alfa Romeo Takes Wraps Off 4C Spider Stradale Tributo
Only 33 units of the mid-engine 4C Spider will be produced for North America. The release of the special-edition coupe accompanies the end of 4C production for North America.
Alfa Romeo introduces the 4C Spider 33 Stradale Tributo, inspired by the 1967 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale sports car.
Only 33 units of the mid-engine 4C Spider will be produced for North America. The release of the special-edition coupe accompanies the end of 4C production for North America.
The 4C Spider 33 Stradale Tributo is handcrafted in Modena, Italy, and features Rosso Villa d’Este tri-coat paint, gray-gold 5-hole alloy wheels and black-and-tobacco interior. In a first for 4C Spider, the 33 Stradale Tributo utilizes a red-finish carbon-fiber monocoque chassis designed under the direction of Centro Stile Alfa Romeo.
The Stradale Tributo comes with commemorative badging, plaques and numbered book recounting the sports car’s design concept, technology, materials and assembly as well as the history of the 33 Stradale.
The coupe is powered by a 1.75L direct-injected, turbocharged 4-cyl. producing 237 hp and 258 lb.-ft. (350 Nm) of torque hitched to a 6-speed twin-clutch transmission. Weighing less than 2,500 lbs. (1,134 kg), the sports car delivers a power-to-weight ratio of 10.4 lbs./hp, accelerates from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 4.1 seconds and reaches a top speed of 160 mph (258 km/h).
Much of the 4C Spider 33 Stradale Tributo’s equipment, previously optional, comes standard, including an Akrapovic dual-mode center-mounted exhaust, race-tuned suspension, bi-xenon headlamps, battery charger, car cover, suede/leather seats and carbon fiber halo, rear wing and Italian flag mirror caps. A similarly specified 4C Spider would carry an MSRP of thousands more, Alfa Romeo says.
“Since its introduction in 2014, the 4C has been a halo vehicle for Alfa Romeo, exciting enthusiasts around the world and spearheading the relaunch of the brand in North America,” Tim Kuniskis, global head of Alfa Romeo, says in a news release.
“The 4C Spider 33 Stradale Tributo is an instant Alfa Romeo classic that passes the torch to the next generation of iconic Alfa Romeo vehicles, including the upcoming Tonale PHEV crossover that will start production next year.”
Pricing for the 4C Spider 33 Stradale Tributo starts at $79,995 excluding destination charges.
