The Original

In September of 1967 Autodelta took the wraps of a quite remarkable 33 variant; a road car! Technically, the 33 'Stradale' was virtually identical to the racing car, except for a longer wheelbase and a downtuned engine. More importantly it featured a Franco Scaglione penned body, which to this day is considered one of the most beautiful designs ever. Thanks to the aerodynamic body top speeds of well over 250 km/h were easily achievable. At least four chassis were supplied to Italian coachbuilders and used for exciting design studies.

Despite the stunning performance and looks, the Stradale was not a big commercial success; mainly because of its astronomic price. Between 1967 and 1969 around 18 examples were constructed, including the four design study chassis. Unfortunately not all cars have survived, making a 33 Stradale an exceptionally rare sight.
