New 33 Stradale hypercar is based on Maserati MC20, which was originally planned as an Alfa Romeo
last week Alfa Romeo went some way towards levelling an old score. The $2m hypercar is loosely based on sister brand Maserati’s MC20, and it seems kind of odd that it’s Alfa and not Maserati – the supposedly more high-end Stellantis outfit – that’s getting to produce it.
Can you imagine Porsche sitting back and watching while Audi sold a multi-million dollar hypercar that was faster than anything the Stuttgart boys were allowed to make by parent company VW? True, Maserati recently revealed its own limited-edition hypercar based on the MC20, , but that’s a track-only machine, costs just over half as much , will be twice as numerous as the Stradale and is 20 times less visually memorable.got Stellantis’s go-ahead to make the MC20 spinoff that people will care about and still be talking about years down the line. And we can only assume that Maserati is privately fuming about this, whatever it claims to feel about the Stradale publically.
The 33 is available with both combustion and electric power and Alfa claims the 33’s engine, which makes 612 hp , is an ‘enhanced’ version of the 503 hp Quadrifoglio motor.
Stellantis boss Carlos Tavares obviously believes Alfa can make the 33 without treading on Maserati’s toes, but do you think the Stradale’s existence undermines Maserati’s credibility?
