The 5 Most Beautiful Alfa Romeos Ever Made

It’s safe to say that every vehicle ever built by Alfa Romeo can be called 

beautiful. Picking favorites from among the marque’s 105 years of iconic 

vehicles is a difficult task, but this is a good primer on some of the truly 

exceptional vehicles from the Milanese maestros.

1938 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900 Mille Miglia

One of the most gorgeous and beautiful racing Alfa Romeos of all time belongs 
to world-renowned fashion designer Ralph Lauren. Designed to compete in the 
1938 Mille Miglia, it was one of the starring attractions at the incredible 
exhibition of Ralph Lauren’s cars at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris.

1964 Alfa Romeo TZ Coupé

Of the 112 Zagato-bodied TZs ever built – one of the most exquisitely designed 
cars ever created – the one pictured here boasts a racing pedigree that includes 
Le Mans, the Tour de France and the Targa Florio. It was auctioned off for 
$800,000 a few years back and now belongs to a very lucky collector.

1968 Tipo 33 Stradale

Considered one of the most beautiful cars ever made, the Tipo 33 Stradale is 
a car collector’s dream. Alfa Romeo produced just 18 of the 33 Stradale, the 
street-legal version of the racing type 33, making each a highly valuable icon. 
Featuring the very latest in light-weight technology, including aluminum and 
magnesium, the chassis weighed just 119 lbs (54 kg). Stunning vertically 
opening doors add another distinctive element to this timeless design. The 
value of each 33 Stradale is almost impossible to determine, as the vehicle is 
hardly ever traded, but is estimated at close to $15 million.

1975 Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 TT 12

1975 was a year of almost total domination for Alfa Romeo on the world’s 
racetracks, with seven wins in eight races landing it the World Championship 
for Makes title over the likes of Porsche, Ferrari and Maserati. One of its most 
successful cars that year was this stunning Tipo 33 TT 12 with Campari livery.

2015 Alfa Romeo 4C Coupe and 4C Spider

The newest Alfa Romeo sport car to join the family evoke the marque’s 
impressive heritage and ushers in a new era of seductive style for the legendary 
Italian brand. It has won praise from critics and car experts around the world 
for its combination of stunning Italian design and race-inspired performance. 
The Alfa Romeo 4C Coupe and 4C Spider continues an Alfa Romeo tradition 
of performance-oriented lines and proportions. Inspired by the 1967 Tipo 33 
Stradale, the 4C models are just as shapely, and offer the classic Alfa Romeo 
V-shaped “plunging neckline” front grille. While fresh to the market, the 4C is 
already one of the most desirable vehicles on the road, and is anticipated to be 
highly in demand as a collectible in the coming years. (We suggest getting your 
hands on one now while you still can).
