This is the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale<\/a> \u2018Perla Nera\u2019. It isn\u2019t a new limited edition boasting more power or more aero or a specially embroidered set of floor mats, but simply one of the original 33 cars decked out entirely in \u2013 that\u2019s right! \u2013 black.<\/p>\n

Well, not exactly \u2018black\u2019, but matt-finish, fully exposed carbon fibre. But it matters not: most importantly this \u2018Perla Nera\u2019 is yet another opportunity to gawp at one of the most delectable and delightful Alfa Romeos of modern times.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It\u2019s the only car of the limited, 33-strong run to have been designed in this manner by an \u201cAlfa Romeo collector\u201d. And not just any collector, but \u2013 get your swear jars ready \u2013 a \u201cpassionate\u201d one.<\/p>\n

Said collector requested the carbon fibre \u2013 a core technical element of the 33 Stradale \u2013 be quite literally front and centre on the whole thing. It\u2019s hand laid don\u2019t forget, and we\u2019re told each fibre was \u201cpositioned with extreme precision to follow the contours of the surfaces\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It\u2019s been debadged, too \u2013 barring the Alfa logo \u2013 while inside it\u2019s a sea of carbon fibre elements and lots of Alcantara upholstery. Of course, the seat was designed specifically to accommodate said collector. As was the matching luggage set.<\/p>\n

Nothing was done to the drivetrain, mind, so it remains a 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 with 626bhp with the ability to hit 62mph from rest in less than three seconds, and crest 207mph on a test track. There\u2019s an eight-speed DCT \u2018box attempting to direct those horsies to the rear wheels.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201c\u2018Perla Nera\u2019 is not simply one of the 33 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradales built. It is the only \u2018Perla Nera\u2019 in existence: an unrepeatable creation that transcends the concept of customisation and enters the realm of automotive art,\u201d Alfa explains rather loftily. We can but stare.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
