Selling a little over 1,400 vehicles to Canadian customers in 2019, Alfa Romeo has a small yet unique footprint in the marketplace in this country. For 2021, Alfa Romeo will continue to import three models consisting of the Giulia sedan, Stelvio crossover and the limited production 4C Spider sports car (advertised as a 2020 model). The Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio are both marketed under a realigned, simplified trim line led by base models typed as the Sprint. In June of 2020, Alfa Romeo began celebrating 110 years of vehicle production.

A low production, mid-engined sports car, the Alfa Romeo 4C Spider has wonderfully fulfilled the role of providing a true Italian performer on the street. The 4C spider is based on a carbon fiber monocoque frame inspired by Formula 1 race cars creating a well-balanced machine with race-tuned suspension. First arriving in North America in late 2014 as a hardtop model with the Spider appearing a year later, the sports car prepares to make a bold exit in the form of a limited edition special model. Introduced as a 2020 model year vehicle late in the calender year, the Alfa Romeo 4C Spider 33 Stradale Tributo pays homage to a prized 1967 Alfa Romeo sports car. With only 33 examples set to be produced in Modena, Italy, the 4C Spider 33 Stradale Tributo wears Rosso Villa d’Este tri-coat paint on its body shell paired with an interior finished in black-and-tobacco. Grey-gold five-hole alloy wheels, commemorative badges and red transparent finish to the cabin fiber monocoque will also define this special sports car. The 2020 Alfa Romeo 4C Spider 33 Stradale Tributo will be propelled by a small yet potent turbocharged 1.75 liter engine generating 237 horsepower.
Notable Changes for 2021: Production of the Alfa Romeo sports car will wrap with the sale of the 4C Spider 33 Stradale Tributo.
