Alfa Romeo 33

Common card · No. 273686

The Alfa Romeo 33 (Type 905 and 907) is a small family car produced by the Italian automaker Alfa Romeo from 1983 to 1995. From a mechanical standpoint it was an evolution of its predecessor, the Alfasud, whose floorpan, chassis and drivetrain were carried over — albeit with simplifications to the suspension and braking system, eschewing the Alfasud's inboard front brakes for instance. The Nissan-based Alfa Romeo Arna was launched shortly thereafter, offering a similarly sized but lower priced car. The 33 has a unique place in Alfa Romeo history, as nearly 1 million of these cars were produced. During its 11-year lifespan the 33 got a minor facelift in 1986 and a major restyle in 1989. The 33 was discontinued in 1995 and replaced by the Alfa Romeo 145 and 146, which used the same Alfa Romeo Boxer engines but an entirely new platform based on the Fiat Tipo.
