Alfa Romeo is building a special version of its Mito and the only way to get a drive is to own a Maserati with the unique version of Mito being produced exclusively for Maserati dealers to use as loan cars.

The special-purpose cars will be styled in Maserati Blu Oceano, and fitted with the new 1.4 125 kW MultiAir turbocharged engine which is set to arrive in New Zealand later this year, making this special Alfa Romeo Mito available to local Maserati dealers.

The cars will be distinguished by their unique color and  also by two other exclusive features: the “Limited Edition” plaque on the dashboard, and the kick plate made from specially treated aluminum, bearing the words Alfa Romeo for Maserati.

This unique Alfa Romeo Mito will also have a series of high-end details, supplied as standard: Pelle Frau upholstery, automatic dual-zone climate control, leather steering wheel complete with radio and telephone controls, bi-xenon headlights, SatNav, and a hands-free Blue&Me system including a USB port. 18′ alloy wheels, rear spoiler, rear bumper and aluminum pedals are all fitted as standard. All the cars will come with the DNA suspension system, and electronic shock absorber control system.

It’s a tidy machine, but will Maserati owners worldwide be deliberately blowing their engines just to get a ride in one? Possibly not.
