Alfa Romeo has created a special edition Spider convertible to commemorate the historic Mille Miglia 1,000-mile race that takes place once a year in Italy.
The carmaker will build just 11 special edition Spider Mille Miglia models to mark Alfa's 11 victories in the race, resposnible for the rise of the Gran Turismo.
The Spider Mille Miglia is based on the 260bhp 3.2-liter V6 outputting 237lb-ft of torque, but doesn't feature any performance upgrades.
Instead each Mille Miglia features a silver plate that outlines one of Alfa Romeo’s victories between 1928 and 1947.
Exterior details include a bright red Rosso 8C paintjob and a Quadrifoglio four-leaf clover ahead of wing mirrors, as well as red stitching for the black leather seats.
All-new Alfa Romeo Mi.To will waste no time proving it's got the 8C Competizione-style mettle to become the definitive ‘super’ Mini when it goes on sale early in 2009, priced from £10,975.
Alfa Romeo will launch a limited number of special-editions 147 Ducati Corse to celebrate the italian manufacturer's victory in the 2007 MotoGP world championship.
New Alfa Romeo Mi.To shows more than flashes of brilliance when Italian supermini lights up the British International Motor Show later this month.
Alfa Romeo effectively confirms that all-new Mi.To supermini will be available in hot hatch GTA format in UK within 18 months. The 230bhp, 1.8-litre turbocharged specimen should be sub £20k and leather the Mini Cooper S.
Alfa Romeo will debut the Alfa GT Cloverleaf in the UK on 1 July, with prices from £18,980.
