Formula 1 driver Valtteri Bottas joined Alfa Romeo’s engineering team at Balocco Proving Ground to test the 33 Stradale’s “00 prototype”. Bottas provided expert feedback essential to the car’s final tuning.

As a Giulia GTAm owner and “Club 33” member, Bottas called the 33 Stradale near-perfect. “The car immediately puts you at ease—responsive, fun, and unmistakably Alfa Romeo with its pure mechanical symphony”, he said.

Powered by a 620+ hp V6 twin-turbo engine, the 33 Stradale reaches 333 km/h (207 mph) and accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in under three seconds. Bottas praised its intuitive handling, Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes, and driver-focused design during high-speed tests.

Bottas also drove the all-electric Junior 280 Veloce, experiencing Alfa Romeo’s commitment to electrified performance while maintaining its signature driving pleasure.

This session highlights Alfa Romeo’s relentless pursuit of innovation, performance, and Italian craftsmanship.
