Design 

Described as the most compact sports car Alfa Romeo has ever made, the MiTo was designed by the Centro Stile studios in Milan, and will be built in Torino (Turin); these two cities provide the inspiration for the name. Head on, the striking frontal aspect of the MiTo shares distinct design cues with its high-performance supercar stablemate, the 8C Competizione. With its frameless side windows, distinctive V-shape bonnet line and muscular haunches, the Alfa MiTo is clearly a thoroughbred Alfa Romeo, despite its compact dimensions. 

Performance

The sporting new Alfa MiTo is due for international launch in July 2008, with righthand drive models expected in the UK in early 2009. Both petrol and diesel engines will be offered, ranging in power output from 90bhp to 155bhp. All models will come as standard with Alfa’s new D.N.A chassis system. Three settings – Dynamic, Normal and All-Weather – adjust the engine, brakes, steering, suspension and gearbox to suit the conditions.

Features

The MiTo may be compact, but it’s lavishly equipped with the latest safety and convenience features. The design of the dashboard is avant-garde and there’s plenty of opportunity to personalise the MiTo to your tastes – you can even change the headlight and tail light surrounds for a more individual look. Other highlights include 7 airbags, Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) with Hill Holder, and LED rear lights, making the MiTo arguably the best equipped car in its class.

Alfa Mito Safety Feature

Systems and devices for total protection One hundred simulations on a HyGe slide, five hundred crash tests and two hundred tests on components and subsystems. These statistics demonstrate the deep-rooted commitment to making the Alfa Romeo MiTo one of the safest cars in its segment and also in the field of motoring as a whole. The new model represents the state-of-the-art as far as passive safety is concerned.

Total protection, in short, as evidenced by 7 airbags as standard (two of which are Multistage); three-point seatbelts with pretensioners and load limit limiters; S.A.H.R. (Self Aligning Head Restraint) system, an anti whiplash device built into the backrest on the front seats. Not to mention the contribution to occupant protection made by the body, the bonnet, the doors and the dashboard crossmember in addition to the seats and steering column, that have been designed with a view to their behaviour in the event of an accident.
