Maserati chooses the Alfa Romeo MiTo for its European service network

One hundred Alfa Romeo MiTos, produced exclusively for Maserati’s service network will soon be circulating on roads throughout Europe. For Maserati, the Alfa Romeo MiTo is the perfect “Courtesy Car” for customers who clearly appreciate Italian style and unique products.

The special MiTos will be marked out by their Maserati Ocean Blue body colour, and will be equipped with the most powerful engine in the entire MiTo range – the very lively, 170 HP, 1.4 MultiAir Turbo petrol engine.

In addition to their special body colour, the MiTos will feature another two exclusive details: a ‘Limited Edition’ plate on the air conditioning system and special aluminium kick plates bearing the words “Alfa Romeo for Maserati”.

All one hundred cars will feature be generously equipped: Frau leather seats, automatic dual zone air conditioning, a leather steering wheel with radio and telephone controls, a map-based Radionavigation unit with maps covering the whole of Europe, the Blue&Me hands-free system with USB port, and bi-xenon headlights.

The MiTo for Maserati will also stand out due to its exceptional sporting performance. It is fitted as standard with 18 inch alloy wheels, a rear spoiler, a sporty rear bumper and aluminium pedal unit. They will also be fitted as standard with Dynamic Suspension, the advanced electronic control system that varies suspension configuration actively and continuously according to road conditions and driver input, ensuring lightning-quick cornering and amazing sensitivity.

Thanks to this special initiative with Alfa Romeo, Maserati’s European service network will be able to offer its customers a very special car, completely in line with Maserati philosophy, according to which even the smallest detail is meticulously and attentively chosen.

In the same vein as giving people a Fiat 500 when their Ferrari was getting serviced, I guess.

Although not totally equvialent, this idea strikes me as 100% cooler than the abortion that is the Aston Martin Cygnet.

The seats look quite Maserati to me...I quite like it actually. On an aside, I do find it amazing the way that you can always tell Italian cars from the styling, they just have something that everything else lacks and is the poorer for (except maybe build quality in some cases wink )

Looks pretty good, I guess they're hoping that Maserati owners might decide to buy one for their wife/kids etc as a city/shopping car.

That's my favourite colour combination I've seen on a Mito.

I feel the solid red and white makes the front look too gawky, and I've always felt the usual black interior makes the inside a bit depressing. But that tan looks great.

Assume this is mainland Europe only? Be nice to get them here in UK, even if they are only made in LHD.
