The new Alfa Romeo MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde - formerly Cloverleaf - features an updated exterior and an all new sports interior, which will be on sale in late July/early August 2011 priced from £18,775, after its debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

The exterior sees a new valance under the Alfa Romeo shield helps to give an impression of a wider, ground-hugging sport car. Fog lights are now finished with black surrounds with lower intakes inspired by the Alfa 8C Competizione.

New Quadrifoglio Verde badges in micro-brushed aluminium with four-leaved clover design in relief sit above the wheel arches. New exclusive 18 inch alloy wheels are an upgrade from the previous 17 inch, and come with 215/40 low profile tyres.

Wing mirrors, headlight (and rear light) surrounds, and door handles are now finished in a pearlescent, satin effect material.

For the interior, a new central column on the sport seats are in Alcantara suede, and a totally black interior is complemented by green and white seams on the seats, steering wheel, hand brake lever and gear knob.

As standard, the Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio Verde MiTo comes with the 1.4 TV MultiAir 170bhp engine offers a combined fuel consumption of 47.1mpg and 139g/km of CO2. Acceleration from 0-62mph is reached in just over 7 seconds.

A Synaptic Damping Control and Active Suspension system are responsible for the Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio Verde MiTo's handling. The system actively and continuously controls the electronic shock absorbers. The Active Suspension provides three dynamic control systems - Normal, All Weather and Dynamic.

The Alfa Romeo MiTo, brand new for 2011 from the Italian luxurious automobile manufacturer, makes a real attempt at being an accessible and affordable Italian sports car. While calling it a “sports car” is a little bit of a stretch, the Alfa MiTo should supply spirited driving and respectable power in a sport compact car package. Designed to be a sporty yet affordable alternative to the 2009 Alfa Romeo 8C, the MiTo sport compact car weighs lower than a Honda Civic and should be a pleasure to throw through the esses, and easy to drive in traffic as well.
