While this is the first time the reborn 33 Stradale will get the Blue Reale color option, this isn’t the first time the nameplate has worn this hue. One of the 10 original 33 Stradale sports cars from the ’60s came in this color, missing for decades until it emerged in 2020 to celebrate Alfa Romeo’s 110th anniversary.
According to Classic Driver, the ultra-rare royal blue 33 Stradale was delivered new to Italian aviation tycoon Count Corrado Agusta, bearing chassis 75033.111 and equipped with the same seats found on Agusta’s helicopters at that time. It’s currently in the hands of a prominent Swiss collector.
Needless to say, the Blue Reale option for the new 33 Stradale is a tribute to that legendary example.
