Tri-coat paint is Triplostrata, perhaps $25k addition Ferrari So difficult to show in snaps of luster and depth
Lovely car, but, why does does AR call it a 'Tributo' the 33 Stradale? You may forgive me, but no relation at all, this from an Alfista. Best of luck on you BaT adventure! Regards, Alberto
The paint is really the star of the Tributo. It has other features like the red CF that are quite special, but these were painted at a level well above any other 4C. I have another tri-coat 4C and the quality of the paint pales in comparison to that on the Tributos. You can take this to a big event (as I have with Larz Italian Car day in Boston) and it steals the show mainly because of how eye catching the paint is. It’s one that you need to see in the flesh to fully appreciate. It’s a special car and I assume will make a nice addition to someone’s collection.
That’s how the final edition 4C was marketed by AR. I do get your point, but by the same token, the current car they sold for €3 million called the ‘33 Stradale’ has absolutely nothing to do with the original either. Both this and the 2025 €3 million one are mid engined sports cars they made 33 units of. They only made 18 of the original 1967 Tipo 33. The objective similarities between the three begin and end with being mid-engined sports cars made by Alfa Romeo. The rest is just heritage/marketing something as a collector's item. Isn’t everything marketing in some form? From the original press release: Handcrafted in Modena, Italy, the 4C Spider 33 Stradale Tributo honors the 1967 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale, the brand's legendary mid-engine sports car Inspired by the original, the limited-edition 4C features exclusive 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 Designed under the direction of Centro Stile Alfa Romeo, the 4C Spider 33 Stradale Tributo comes with commemorative badging, plaques and book
All 4Cs are cool/desirable cars, this one certainly has a unique spec. and people will definitely value the rarity of the "33 Stradale Tributo" package and the fact that this is the last one. Now - about the package name: This was a bit of a misfire on Alfa's part. Back in 2020 when this 4C package was released, I believe they were still planning on using the "6C" name for what eventually became the 2025 "33 Stradale". So there was no reason not to use the name on this package to honor the original Tipo 33 Stradale. And then they switched to the 33 Stradale name for that car, leaving some confusing overlap between the two.
Exactly. At the time there wasn't technically a 2025 "33 Stradale", what became the MC20 was intended to be the Alfa 6C, using a substantially similar version of the Dallara developed carbon fiber tub used in the 4C. After the Stellantis merger that car was given to Maserati. Alfa, with nothing interesting to sell, desperately tried to grab attention last year with their re-bodied MC20 dubbed the "33 Stradale". You're absolutely right though that there was never intended to be that overlap. This is, in some ways, the Tributo 33 Stradale the company originally intended - but obviously things changed dramatically at the company at the time. The Stellantis merger is the only reason I came to own this car, it was originally allocated to then FCA CEO Mike Manley, so I guess it's not all bad (more detail on the provenance is included in the auction for anyone curious).
What a beautiful and cool car. Ain't gonna run into another one of these at the local Cars & Coffee. Curious why they added the scoop behind the driver's door and just on that side? Looks out of place somehow on an otherwise beautiful car.
It's a functional duct for transmission cooling. It's something they added to the North American market cars. The EU cars don't have it.
On the earliest cars (like our 2015 LE #109) it was supposedly added at the port after the cars arrived, and the panel is somewhat crudely cut. I believe they were having clutch overheating issues on some cars, which was subsequently traced to bad brake switches that took too much pressure to activate, which left the clutch slipping a bit. So this may not have been strictly necessary but they kept it going. But I actually like the asymmetrical duct and transmission cooling is never a bad idea.
6 days left! Pretty cool to see we made the front page of yahoo autos today. https://autos.yahoo.com/2020-alfa-romeo-4c-spider-160028422.html Also, the second installment on the car’s provenance went live today. More to come on that front as we get closer to the end
I hope there is a 'final offensive' at the end, and you get a fantastic result! From an Alfista to another, Alberto
That is an amazing final price. Its especially amazing in that when I bought my launch edition, the Fiat dealers (there were no real Alfa dealers yet) had a tough time selling them. I think you should be very happy with that price!
