02Production & history

Production

Every figure says what it counts.

No production figures recorded yet.

History

Autodelta built the Tipo 33 from 1967 with a rear-mounted V8 engine integral with the gearbox. The car made its debut on 12 March 1967 and went on to win the Fléron timed trial.

The 33/2 retained the original chassis, engine and transmission, but had stronger suspension units with a wider track. It was homologated in Group 4 and made its Daytona debut in 1968, where three cars finished 5th, 6th and 7th overall.

Italiancar records thirty racing units. A separate on-road Coupé, designed by Franco Scaglione, was built from November 1967 to March 1969 in 18 units.
