Oj! Bra fråga! Jag är helsåld på F40. Kan bero på att den satt på väggen ovanför sängen hela tonåren.

Ja just det. Bilen de försöker "backa" räknarn på?

Den är inte bara vackrast
Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale
It reaches the top speed at 275 km/h and has an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 5,2 seconds. Not on the extreme side today but just listen to this. They squeeze out 242 bhp at 9000 rpm and 230 Nm at 7500 rpm from a V8 engine with only a capacity of 1995 cc. The entire car is only 99 cm high and it weights only 702 kg. And it’s a road legal racer.
A team consisting of Chiti, Satta, Busso and Scarnati where developing a prototype sportscar named Alfa Romeo Tipo 33, a 2-litre car which career started 1967 in the world sport prototype series with the three first places at Le Mans in its class and ended as world champion in 1975 with the 3-litre successor Tipo 33/3.
The Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale is the road legal version of that sports prototype champion. This is a racecar, nothing but a racecar and that’s the only path to go when developing a proper sports car. It is not just a tweaked sports car as the rest of road legal cars in fact are. That’s one reason why it’s number one. 50 should be made according to plan, only 18 left the factory. That makes this animal extremely rare.
Carlo Chiti was responsible for Autodelta, the racing arm of Alfa Romeo when the Stradale took form. Autodelta developed the Alfa Romeo GTA, which dominated the touring car series all over the world during 8 years. They also developed a 12-cylinder formula one engine for Brabham. Chiti was also responsible for the development of Dino 246, in which Mike Hawthorn won the world championship 1958. 1961 Phil Hill became Formula one Champion in Chitis Sharknose Ferrari. It was no rookie that developed the Stradale.
The engine was a slightly detuned version of the engine fitted in the Tipo 33 prototype racer. An All-aluminium 90° V8 with steel wet liners pressed into the block, twin spark, chain driven double overhead camshafts, dry sump and Spica injection. The compression ratio was 10:1 and with a bore of 78 mm and a stroke of 52 mm this engine was over-square indeed and could easily rev over 10.000 rpm.
The space frame was made of steel tubes with integrated fuel cells. A magnesium casting where fitted to the frame at the front where suspension, cooler, steering rack, pedals etc where attached. At the rear there was two tubular steel castings where engine was mounted and rear suspension attached. Individual suspension with double wishbones and Koni dampers, ventilated discs, inboard discs at the rear, 7” front and 8” rear Campagnolo magnesium wheels. With a length of 3970 mm, with of 1709 mm and a height of 990 mm this is quite a small and nimble car.
Franco Scaglione designed the body, which is still one of the most beautiful designs ever done. The bodywork was built by Carrozzeria Marazzi. The space frame was integrated with the drive train at Autodelta and shipped to Carrozzeria Marazzis shop to be dressed. When Carlo Chiti went up to Marazzi he had no drawing or specifications. The first prototype was made by Scaglione only out from his mind. Therefore, on request by Mazetti, the production work was overseen in the shop by Franco Scaglione himself. He went by train to Mazettis shop in Coranno Pertusella in Rho almost every day from November 1967 to March 1969. Improvements where made all the time which resulted in that not two Stradales look exactly the same. After 18 produced Stradale Chiti had to focus on the prototype racer Tipo 33/3 and no more Stradales where produced although 50 where ordered.
To adapt this race car to road only a few things where added. First there was front lights according to Italian traffic regulations, second the centre bulkhead of the chassis where stiffened by steel. Third there was also an attempt to add some soundproofing and thermal insulation and that’s about all.
Comparison with other race and sports cars. The race version Tipo 33 delivered 270 bhp at 9600 rpm, an impressive 135 bhp/litre. The Stradale delivered 242 bhp at 9000 rpm and 121 bhp/litre, this gives 345 bhp per tonne, which is quite good for a 40 year old street legal car.
As a comparison, 1967, Porsche 911 developed 130 bhp from a 2-litre engine. Yes, only 65 bhp/litre. 7 years later, in 1975, Porsche 911 Turbo delivered 260 bhp, that’s only 86 bhp/litre from a 3-litre turbo engine and 217 bhp per tonne. Even if compared with a RUF-Porsche 3,4 from 1987 the Stradale shows off. The RUF-Porsche delivers 374 bhp, which is 110 bhp/litre and the power to weight ratio is still not more than 294 bhp per tonne. The 1966 Ferrari 206 S race car delivered 218 bhp from 2 litres, which gave 109 bhp/litre. That car was a very light one, only 580 kg and the power to weight ratio was an impressive 376 bhp per tonne, but remember, the 206 was a full race car. Interestingly, 50 Ferrari 206 S road cars should be produced for homologation purpose but only 18 where produced…
