Tipo was the race version of the car. Although this car is frequently called a Tipo, that appears to be incorrect. The internet isn't too clear on it.

"Tipo" is Italian for "type", so either "type 33" or "tipo 33" (if you're Italian or insufferably pedantic...or pretentious ;)would be correct. Honest.  :D

Absolutely!  There is a proliferation of "Tipo" in many Italian vehicles. It is the Stradale that is the important designation often designating a street version of a race car.  Ferrari still uses it to designate special versions and highlights it with a red, white and green stripe.
