1960's & the Alfa
The Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale, a marvel of automotive engineering, was celebrated as the quickest car for the standing kilometre upon its debut in the late 1960s. Produced in a limited run of just 18 units from 1967 to 1969, this exquisite hypercar drew inspiration from the Tipo 33 sports prototype, reflecting Alfa Romeo's commitment to infusing racing innovation into road-legal vehicles. With its lightweight construction, powerful V8 engine, and striking design, the 33 Stradale not only exemplified the brand's rich motorsport heritage but also established itself as a rare gem in the world of high-performance automobiles.
Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus SCG 003
The Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus SCG 003, developed under the code name P33, made its debut at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. It was designed by Paolo Garella, a former designer and engineer at Pininfarina. The design aimed to offer customers three different configurations using the same modular chassis, allowing for interchangeable parts based on the car's intended purpose.
