We have a complexity issue in building the car. No other manufacturer would have the courage to do something like this. Stroll has previously highlighted the complexity of the project, saying: “This is a Formula 1 car for the road. The firm has acknowledged the difficulties developing the £2.5 million, Adrian Newey-penned hypercar, which led to the project running behind schedule and engineers from the Formula 1 team having to be drafted in to resolve issues. So far, Aston Martin has reported delivering 27 Valkyries to customers, with 38 assembled. +++ ASTON MARTIN Valkyrie customers are “enjoying” their cars as planned, despite reports of various technical issues besetting the cars delivered to date, according to executive chairman Lawrence Stroll. Imparato also confirmed a large electric saloon will arrive in 2027, focused on the United States and China, but to be sold in Europe too. Imparato has previously name-checked the Alfa Romeo Spider ‘Duetto’ as another model he would like to see reflected in any upcoming sports cars. We have so many fantastic ideas based on our iconic history”. When asked if it could be reminiscent of the T33 Stradale, he said: “I can say yes, but I can’t say anything else. We use one word to define the brand and it is sportiness”. He added: “You will see something in that field in terms of sportiness in the first half of 2023. “I can tell you it will be very exciting, very selective and very expensive”.

“For the moment, I have 2 scenarios: full ICE or full EV”, said Imparato. The sports car was also expected to be electric, in line with its plans to have an all-electric line-up from 2025, but Imparato hinted that a sports car may arrive much sooner and could even be combustion-engined. Originally, any new sports car from Alfa Romeo was expected to arrive later this decade after the brand had proven itself with models in bigger-selling segments, such as the Tonale a SUV. While the unveil is not expected to be a production model, more likely taking the form of an advanced sketch or concept car, it demonstrates Alfa Romeo has already catapulted itself forwards in the eyes of owner Stellantis in proving it can be successful after a tumultuous few years. +++ ALFA ROMEO will unveil a new sports car early next year and it will be reminiscent of the T33 Stradale, its global boss Jean-Philippe Imparato has confirmed.
