Alfa Romeo will build a special limited edition MiTo to celebrate RIAR's (Registro Italiano Alfa Romeo) 46th year as an Alfa Romeo owners club.
The car features a unique black exterior with satin-finish details replacing the traditional chrome accents on the grille and elsewhere. New 17-inch wheels, also in a dark tint, have the same design as those on the 8C Competizione while hiding behind them are red brake calipers. Other exterior goodies include a rear spoiler, rear diffuser, fog lights, and a reverse parking system. Meanwhile the interior features sports seats in either black or burgundy leather, faux carbon-fiber trim on the dash, and dual-zone climate control.
Power comes from an upgraded version of Alfa's four cylinder engine which now produces an extra 15 horsepower for a grand total of 170hp.
Only 46 units of the €20,000 MiTo special edition will be produced and they are only available to members of RIAR.
