Alfa Romeo MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde SBK Limited Edition
Alfa have released a mouthful of a Limited Edition in the form of the MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde SBK. It celebrates the car makers sponsorship of the FIM Superbike World Championship. The MiTo has a ton of extra equipment that comes as standard, including eye waterlingly expensive carbon fibre seat backs – normally a £2000 option! Due to this you are saving over £1,200 over the standard Quadrifoglio.
Alfa also filmed this rather obscure stunt to celebrate the occasion.
