Live Q&A with Alfa Romeo Design and Petrol Ped
On Saturday, July 13th, at 12:00 BST, Alfa Romeo enthusiasts were treated to an engaging live Q&A session. Pete Greaves, known as Petrol Ped, hosted the event with Alfa Romeo’s Head of Design, Alejandro Mesonero-Romanos. This interactive session took place on the Alfa Romeo stand in the Supercar Paddock, where the pair conducted a live walkaround of the 33 Stradale. They discussed the intricate design process and answered questions submitted by the audience via @AlfaRomeoUK socials and @PetrolPed Instagram accounts. The entire Q&A was also streamed on the Alfa Romeo UK Facebook page, allowing fans worldwide to participate.
The 33 Stradale: A Masterpiece of Custom Design
The 33 Stradale, inspired by the iconic 1967 model of the same name, represents Alfa Romeo’s return to the world of ‘fuoriserie’ (custom-built) cars. With only 33 examples set to be produced, this model is a testament to bespoke craftsmanship and personalized luxury. Designed by Alfa Romeo Centro Stile, each customer collaborates with the Alfa Romeo Bottega to create a unique, customized version of the car. The Bottega, drawing inspiration from Renaissance workshops and 1960s coachbuilders, ensures each vehicle is a masterpiece tailored to its owner’s specifications.
Customers of the 33 Stradale have the option to choose between a powerful 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 engine producing over 620hp or an advanced fully-electric powertrain delivering over 750hp. This choice allows each owner to select a performance profile that matches their driving style and preferences.
