Alfa Romeos are universally acknowledged to be good-looking, sporty cars that combine a glittering racing pedigree with the cream of contemporary engineering. Cars that enhance everyday driving experiences with a true racing feel and driver satisfaction. The Alfa Romeo MiTo embodies these qualities so completely we call it the 'sportiest mini'.
The name MiTo is very evocative for Alfa Romeo, as it was chosen to mark the link between the past and future of the brand: between Milan, the city of design that brought to the car’s style into being, and Turin, which will be responsible for its industrial production.
The MiTo is the first new Alfa Romeo to be built since the 8C Competizione - Alfa Romeo's icon of style and technology. MiTo borrows certain characteristic traits from the 8C Competizione including the shape of the side windows, the three-lobed motif that distinguishes the front bumper and the shape of the headlights and LED tail-lights.
The headlight and tail-light surrounds represent a distinctive personalised feature : A frame featuring different forms of material processing and colours to create an ultra-stylish eye-liner effect that underscores the cars style and aggression.
The highly distinctive dashboard and seats ensure that the interior of the Alfa Romeo MiTo represents the ultimate expression of Italian style, welcoming yet sporty, with high material quality and scrupulous attention to detail.
The greatest thought has gone into defining the MiTo’s dimensions. The compact and dynamic shape allows improved energy efficiency, reduced CO2 emissions and easier driving and parking around town. But this new approach to construction does not preclude sportiness. Quite the opposite: the Alfa Romeo MiTo is a true sportscar in a compact package.
