| − | The '''Alfa Romeo 33''' was a [[compact car|compact]] automobile produced by the [[Italy|Italian]] manufacturer [[Alfa Romeo]] between [[1983]] and [[1994]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | The car was essentially an evolution of its predecessor, the [[Alfa Romeo Alfasud|Alfasud]], which was based on the same floorplan and mechanicals. Launched in 1983 as a 5-door hatchback, and a [[station wagon]] version initially badged Giardinetta, later badged SportWagon) was introduced the following year. Both the hatchback and station wagon were styled by [[Pininfarina]]. The 33 became reknowned for its nimble handling and powerful Boxer engines, but also became equally well-known for its unreliable electrics (a frequent complaint on Italian cars in general at the time).

| − | During its 11 year lifespan the 33 saw two restyles: a mild one in 1987, when the 1.7 litre engine was introduced, and a much more extensive one in 1990, with a heavily restyled exterior (in line with the new Alfa "family look" established by the flagship [[Alfa Romeo 164|164]]), a revised interior, and the 1.7 litre engine upgraded to a 137 bhp 16 valve version.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The 33 was discontinued in [[1994]] and replaced by the [[Alfa Romeo 145|Alfa Romeo 145 and 146]], which used the same Boxer engines but built around an entirely new platform based on the [[Fiat Tipo]].
