6. Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale

Alfa Romeo prides itself on staying ahead of the curve.

Among the earliest adopters of such innovations as the double overhead camshaft engine, electric injection systems, and the common rail diesel engine, Alfa Romeo’s cars have always offered customers a little taste of the future wrapped in classic sensibilities.

The 33 Stradale had an extremely limited run essentially as a concept car, with only eighteen ever being produced. It epitomizes the Alfa Romeo label, offering a work of fine art worthy of any museum.

Way back in 1968, the 33 Stradale was the fastest car on the market. It could hit 60 mph in 5.5 seconds back when that kind of acceleration was the stuff of science fiction, and its body design has inspired countless imitators ever since.

Daring feminine curves and wide headlights give the car an almost alien appearance. Each car was built by hand and all feature details that make them unique from the others. Some had double headlights and some have single, and the position of the windshield wipers tend to vary between each vehicle.

It was also the first production vehicle to feature butterfly doors. It’s impossible to overstate how far ahead of its time this car was. An essential piece of automotive history, the Stradale continues to innovate and inspire to this day.
