What Happened
Alfa Romeo celebrated the nearly simultaneous handoffs of two 33 Stradale models, one to a U.S. entrepreneur in Austin, Texas, and the first-ever delivery to the Alfa Romeo Museum in Arese, Italy. The 33 Stradale is a limited-edition two-seater coupé, with only 33 units produced worldwide, blending heritage and artisanal production.
The American recipient, Glynn Bloomquist, took delivery of a Rosso Villa d'Este car with a white front stripe and the number 14, honoring drivers Enzo Ferrari and A.J. Foyt. Bloomquist, a motorsport enthusiast, configured the car in person at the Alfa Romeo Museum in 2024, ensuring his car is an unrepeatable work of art.
The museum delivery featured a bespoke color developed through the BOTTEGAFUORISERIE program, a four-layer paint process that shifts from understated indoors to iridescent gold in sunlight. The car will be on public display at the museum until June 2, showcasing Alfa Romeo's artisan capabilities.
Why this matters
The handoffs highlight the exclusivity of the 33-unit run and Alfa Romeo's commitment to personalized craftsmanship through its BOTTEGAFUORISERIE program.
