Despite a flood of initial photos of the coachbuilt custom just dropped, what we really wanted is to hear that powerful engine roar into action, and we got just that. We love all those key design elements taken from the original car, like the classic Kamm tail, but it still looks modern and stylish.
This is the fourth model in the TZ line, as the Stradale follows the original TZ and TZ2, and the more recent TZ3 Corsa which was unveiled last year at Villa d'Este – the same location where, as we recently reported, an original TZ is set to cross the auction block.
“Following Zagato's gentlemen-driver heritage, TZ3 Corsa has been commissioned by the Alfa Romeo Zagato collector Martin Kapp. The first TZ3 Stradale has been delivered to the US Alfa Romeo and Zagato collector (and Saratoga Automobile Museum's board member) Eric King. The TZ3 Stradale n°2 and n°3 will be delivered in Japan and Europe. Both TZ3 Corsa and TZ3 Stradale boast a typical Kamm-tail (K-tail) layout,” according to the official company press release.
We haven’t talked much about the Viper part of the car, so we will tell you that the Stradale hides a 8.4-liter V10 powerplant from the ACR model under that long, sloping bonnet.
The firm has recently announced that the TZ3 Stradale will see a limited production run of just nine units, so you aren’t likely to come across one on the street. So it’s a good thing that we have this video!
