The Bare-Carbon Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale Perla Nera Skips Paint Entirely
The one-off build uses hand-laid matte carbon fiber and weighs about 10 kilos less than comparable versions, Alfa Romeo said.
- Alfa Romeo unveiled the 'Perla Nera,' a unique 33 Stradale featuring fully exposed, unpainted carbon-fiber bodywork that showcases the supercar's exceptional shapes without traditional paint.
- Bottegafuoriserie, the custom arm of Stellantis, spent roughly three years developing the vehicle through ongoing dialogue with the owner to realize their vision.
- Beneath the carbon fiber, an aluminum H-frame and 3.0-liter V6 engine produce over 600 mechanical horsepower; skipping paint reduces weight by roughly 10 kilos .
- The cabin features Alcantara throughout and custom-fitted seating, while the exterior incorporates Autodelta and Quadrifoglio symbols alongside a transaxle shared with the C8-generation Corvette.
- Design elements include a front V-shaped motif and herringbone pattern over the roofline, with each carbon fiber element hand-positioned to trace panel contours for structural and stylistic impact.
