With the imminent arrival of its new Mi.To, Alfa Romeo will soon b
offering a new generation of Alfa aficionados its most compact sport
car to date
A contemporary and innovative design, with a name redolent of history
the choice of Mi.To has great evocative resonance for Alfa Romeo
since it was chosen as a sign of a deep-seated link between the pas
and future of the brand: between Milan, the city of design tha
brought the cars style into being, and Turin, which will b
responsible for its industrial production. This decision highlight
the brands strong desire to consolidate its Milanese roots
The Mi.To is the first new Alfa Romeo to be built since the 8
Competizione, Alfa Romeos icon of style and technology, from whic
it borrows certain characteristic traits: the particular shape of th
frameless side windows, the distinctive frontal treatment, the shap
of the headlights and the LED tail lights. The headlights and tai
lights represent a distinctive personalised feature: the front an
rear lighting surrounds exhibit different forms of materia
processing and colours, which will allow customers to create a
ultra-stylish eye-liner effect that underscores the cars style an
assertiveness
The highly personal dashboard and seats ensure that the interio
represents the ultimate expression of Italian style: welcoming ye
sporty, with top-quality materials and close attention to detail; al
wrapped in a compact and dynamic shape Mi.To is 4.06 metres long
1.44 metres high and 1.72 metres wide
Performance and technology must always be top-of-the-range in an Alf
Romeo. As with all the brands models, the Mi.To is able to appeal t
the most demanding customers with its exciting driveability, a facto
which is determined in part by Alfas new DNA system. Thi
driver-operated system acts directly on the engine, brakes, steering
suspension and gearbox, allowing three different vehicle behaviou
modes based on the driving style best suited to the situation or th
customers wishes: sporting (Dynamic), town driving (Normal), maximu
safety even in difficult grip conditions (All-Weather). Mi.To is th
first car in its segment to offer such innovative technologica
content
Strong performance is guaranteed by a turbocharged range of petrol an
diesel engines spanning 90-155bhp, with the range due to be extende
by higher powered versions
Performance and handling have been developed and optimised to offe
maximum driving satisfaction in complete safety. The Mi.To offers
true Alfa Romeo sporting set-up, featuring contractive suspensions
standard on all specifications and engines that minimise roll an
offer maximum active, passive and preventive safety. Alfa Romeo
specially developed VDC stability system is fitted as standard, an
the vehicle structure is already designed to obtain a top Euro nca
crash safety rating in the future
The Alfa Mi.To will be introduced to the international press durin
June and will then be gradually introduced from July in all the majo
markets

Too nose heavy? This seems to be a common theme in new Alfas. And how do
you pronounce the name? Mitto? Meye-toe? Mee-toe?
BTW, don't you just *hate* web sites that have embedded media files in
them?

I showed these pictures to a friend who has just traded his 'friday
afternoon' 147 for something smaller. He said it looks great, but he wonders
which part is designed to fall off first on this one! I told him 'the
value'!

Over 4 years, his Alfa just about spent more time in the garage with break
and suspension trouble than on the road!
