Royal Blue was chosen as the body color

As for the exterior, which sublimates the design essence of the original Tipo 33/2 Stradale, the masterpiece of the genius Franco Scaglione, into the modern age, Mr. Uchino, who loves Italian culture and beauty, says it “reminds him of the beautiful Italian blue sky”. As he says, “It reminds me of the beautiful Italian blue sky”, he chose an elegant royal blue for the body color and matching red for the details such as the lights and brake calipers.

In addition, Uchino’s particular attention to detail was also fully utilized in the interior, which is said to be a modern sublimation of the Tipo 33/2 Stradale’s style.

The beautifully designed cabin comprises seats and inner trim in high-quality grey Alcantara fabric. It will also be adorned with lightweight sports pedals and dark brushed aluminum footrests.

In March 2024, Mr Uchino visited Milan, Italy, where he had a fruitful meeting with the Bottega design team at Alfa Romeo’s headquarters, and also visited the Museo Storico Alfa Romeo (Alfa Romeo History The museum’s iconic Scaglione, the original Tipo 33/2 Stradale, was inspected as if seeking inspiration for the design of his beloved car. He also spoke about his bond with Alfa Romeo, having used modern Alfa Romeo supersports such as the 4C and Giulia GTAm.

Uchino then reconfirmed the composition of the cars he custom ordered based on his experiences in Milan and Arese. With his new car, he has decided to anticipate the noble Italian sports of the 21st century and express his respect for the brand’s traditions, which have been passed down from generation to generation since before World War II.

What kind of finish will the 33 Stradale, chosen by the leader of Japan’s world-class “craftsmanship”, descend on Japan? …… And will other Japanese enthusiasts besides Mr Uchino will order the new 33 Stradale? ……? Curiosity knows no bounds.
