Alfa Romeo Unveils Royal Blue Tribute for 33 Stradale Day - You Won't Believe the Historical Significance!

Alfa Romeo recently celebrated March 3rd as '33 Stradale Day' to honor the iconic supercar and the number 33's significance to the marque. In a symbolic move, the Italian automaker introduced the new Blue Reale (royal blue) paint color as a tribute to the classic V6 supercar, adding to the existing base color options of Rosso Alfa and Rosso Villa d'Este. This new shade pays homage to one of the original 33 Stradale sports cars from the '60s, resurrecting a piece of Alfa Romeo's heritage.

Not The First Blue 33 Stradale

Although the Blue Reale option is a fresh addition for the reborn 33 Stradale, it's not entirely new to the model's history. One of the original 33 Stradale sports cars from the '60s was originally painted in this royal blue hue and recently resurfaced in 2020 after disappearing for decades. This specific car, once owned by Italian aviation tycoon Count Corrado Agusta, has a fascinating story tied to its unique delivery and seating, making the Blue Reale choice for the new 33 Stradale a significant tribute to this legendary example.

The Significance of '33' to Alfa Romeo

Besides its association with the limited 33 Stradale units, the number 33 holds immense symbolism for Alfa Romeo. Notably, Alfa Romeo's victory in the 1000 Miglia endurance race 33 months ago and historic motorsport achievements in 1933 further solidify the importance of this number to the brand's legacy. The introduction of the Blue Reale color option underscores Alfa Romeo's commitment to honoring its heritage and iconic models that define its rich history.
