You Can Own This Ultra-Rare Italian Viper


Alfa Romeo has made some truly beautiful limited-edition sports cars in its time. Remember the Disco Volante? What about the Giulia SWB Zagato? Both stunning. This particular car is a TZ3 Stradale, one of just 9 ever produced—and for the right price, it can be in your driveway.

Alfa Romeo built the TZ3 Stradale in 2010 to help celebrate its 100th anniversary. The car was designed by Zagato and debuted at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este in Italy. Built atop the Dodge Viper ACR-X platform, oddly enough, the TZ3 Stradale weighed just 1,874 pounds thanks to its lightweight carbon fiber frame and aluminum body panels.

Under the TZ3 Stradale’s long and lovely hood is the Viper’s 8.4-liter V-10 engine. It made 600 horsepower and 560 pound-feet of torque when new, paired to a six-speed manual transmission. That was enough horsepower for a 0-60 mph time of just over 3.0 seconds, and a top speed of over 200 mph.

This particular car was part of a collection in Arizona, and it has just 1,863 miles on the odometer. It’s up for sale via Young Motorcars. The exterior is finished in a beautiful Dark Blue metallic paint, while the interior is awash in a lovely caramel-colored leather.

When new, Alfa Romeo asked over $1 million for the TZ3 Stradale—expected for such a rare and powerful machine. But you can get this one at a pretty solid discount; the seller is asking just $675,000. That’s quite the bargain for an ultra-rare piece of Alfa Romeo history if you ask us.
