Alfa Romeo Mito Quadrifoglio at Frankfurt Motor Show

Alfa Romeo has taken the wraps off the new MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde (four-leaf clover) at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

As a replacement for the defunct MiTo GTA, the Quadrifoglio Verde features an impressive 170hp 1.4-liter MultiAir turbocharged petrol engine. In combination with the new six-speed transmission, which has been specially designed to deliver quick changes and improved fuel efficiency, one can expect the MiTo to be more competitive with the most recent hot hatches.

While performance specifications weren’t released, Alfa says the Quadrifoglio Verde will only consume 4.8L/100km (49 mpg) while emitting 139 g/km of CO2 (in the extra-urban cycle).

The company has also added a ‘Dynamic Suspension’ with continuously variable shock absorbers. Alfa says the suspension “…allows the MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde to excel even further in terms of agility and handling, giving it exceptional drivability and unparalleled safety.” With three different setting (Normal, All Weather, and Dynamic), owners can custom tailor the ride to fit their particular driving situation.
