Two models are available in limited production: the "MiTo Sprint Special Edition" (limited to 200 units) and the "MiTo Competizione Special Edition" (limited to 100 units).

Alfa Red originated in the 1920s, developed by the renowned genius engineer Vittorio Jano, and was adopted as the body color for sports cars that dominated both public roads and races. It has since graced the bodies of countless racing cars, becoming deeply etched in people's minds as Alfa Romeo's signature color, synonymous with speed.

This time, Alfa Red, the very DNA of Alfa Romeo, is revived and offered as a special edition vehicle.


Both models are equipped with paddle shifters for the new "Alfa TCT" twin-clutch automatic transmission, and titanium grey finished accent rings for the front and rear lights. Furthermore, the "MiTo Competizione Special Edition" features exclusive titanium grey finished Competizione alloy wheels (with 215/45R17 tires) to enhance its stance.




The MiTo, Alfa Romeo's smallest hot hatch, is a car to be enjoyed for its nimble and sporty driving experience, now in the iconic Alfa Red.
