ALFA ROMEOMiTo Quadrifoglio Verde 2013 - 2016

　　The four-cloves leaves' history tracked its roots since the 1923 Targa Florio race, won by the Alfa Romeo drivers.

　　Thanks to its race pedigree, Alfa Romeo had all the rights to claim a spot in the hot-hatch segment with a car able to smoke its tires without any problems. Maybe it wasn't entitled to use the four-cloves badge on the MiTo, but it did it, and the result was far beyond expectations. It wasn't just a simple badge; it was the entire car that went through serious modifications.

　　On the outside, the little MiTo QV, which was based on the Fiat Punto platform, featured a sportier lower apron at the front with a broad mesh grille and a pair of fog-lights. A set of aerodynamic winglets enhanced the bumper look. From its sides, the MiTo QV showed more commitment thanks to its 17" light-alloy wheels. In the back, a pair of chromed tailpipes revealed the sporty character of the MiTo QV.

　　Inside, the black interior respected the exterior style and, at the same time, featured a long series of developments. It was highlighted by new, molded leather steering wheels with contrasting stitching. The carmaker installed the QV logo in the instrument cluster, while the "Competizione" dashboard featured a carbon-look finish.

　　Under the hood, Alfa-Romeo relied on Fiat's 1.4-liter turbocharged engine. It provided enough performance to stir the occupants and stun the audience.
