Why it matters
The TZ3 Stradale was built to mark 100 years of Alfa Romeo road cars and recalls the 1960s Tubolare Zagato. It is a carbon-fibre coachbuilt coupe on a modified Dodge Viper ACR-X base, which Zagato's head called history's first American Alfa Romeo. Only nine were made, sold quietly to collectors.

02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total model productionproduction TZ3 Stradales | 91 | Factory production | Independently researched |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
Introduced in 2010 for Alfa Romeo's centenary, the TZ3 honoured the original Autodelta-developed TZ competition coupe. The design is credited to Norihiko Harada and repeats the rounded nose, covered headlamps and truncated tail of the 1960s car.
Each Stradale cost over $1 million and was sold directly through Zagato's US representative. The catalogued car was the sixth built, assembled from a Viper ACR-X, and had recorded about 200 miles.
