It seems Alfa Romeo is keen to get back in touch with its sporty heritage, announcing a new MiTo Racer special edition to compliment the range.
Alfa describes the model as offering a sophisticated and contemporary style. And when you take a look inside you’ll see what it means. There, you’ll find a brown ‘eco-leather’ upholstery giving it a vintage theme, with various unique logos.
On the outside it gets a bit more aggressive, with bronze-coloured 17-inch alloy wheels, matching side mirrors, and a chequered flag painted on the roof. There’s also a polished finish for the door handles, light surrounds, and exhaust tip.
The special edition will go on sale in Europe with a range of engine options, spanning from an entry-level 1.4-litre MultiAir producing 103kW, to a 1.3 JTDM diesel producing 62kW. The award-winning 0.9-litre TwinAir will also be an option.
Alfa will showcase the package at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show featuring the 77kW TwinAir engine. It’s capable of 0-100km/h in 11.4 seconds. Speaking about the package, the Italian company said,
“With its sporting style and roadworthiness, which has made it a recognised point of reference in its category, the new MiTo Racer version makes its debut in Geneva this year targeting a more mature clientele that is interested in new tendencies, as suggested by the numerous chromed stylistic elements.”
