The Alfa Romeo 33 was a compact car produced by the Italian automaker Alfa Romeo from 1983 to 1994. Designed by the renowned Giorgetto Giugiaro, the 33 was a departure from Alfa Romeo's traditional rear-wheel-drive layout, instead opting for a front-wheel-drive configuration. This decision was driven by a desire to create a more affordable and practical car for the mass market, while still retaining the sporty essence that Alfa Romeo was known for. The 33 was available in a variety of body styles, including a three-door hatchback, a five-door hatchback, and a two-door convertible. Power came from a range of four-cylinder petrol engines, ranging in displacement from 1.1 to 1.7 liters. While the 33 was not as performance-oriented as some of Alfa Romeo's other models, it nonetheless offered a fun and engaging driving experience, thanks to its nimble handling and responsive engines.
The Alfa Romeo 33 was a commercial success, with over 700,000 units produced during its production run. Its popularity was due in part to its stylish design, comfortable interior, and relatively affordable price. Despite its front-wheel-drive layout, the 33 retained the sporty characteristics that Alfa Romeo was known for, making it a popular choice among enthusiasts. The 33 also proved to be a successful competitor in motorsport, with the 33 Stradale and 33 SportPrototype achieving victories in numerous races. While the Alfa Romeo 33 is now discontinued, it continues to be admired by enthusiasts for its stylish design, engaging driving dynamics, and its successful motorsport career. The 33 represented a turning point in Alfa Romeo’s history, marking the brand's foray into the compact car segment and demonstrating its ability to create a sporty and stylish car for a wider audience.
