With the
Mi.To, Alfa Romeo wishes to offer a new generation of
Alfa aficionados the most compact sports car ever.
An up-to-date and innovative car, a name redolent of
history. The name Mi.To has great evocative resonance
for Alfa Romeo, since it was chosen as a sign of a
deep-seated link between the past and future of the
brand: between Milan, the city of design that brought
the car’s style into being, and Turin, which will be
responsible for its industrial production. A decision
that highlights the brand’s strong desire to consolidate
its Milanese roots.
The Mi.To is the first car to be built since the 8C
Competizione, Alfa Romeo’s icon of style and technology,
from which it borrows certain characteristic traits: the
particular shape of the unframed side windows, the
three-lobed motif that distinguishes the front bumper,
the shape of the headlights and the LED tail lights. The
headlights and tail lights 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
car’s style and aggression.
The highly personal dashboard and seats ensure that the
interior represents the ultimate expression of Italian
style, welcoming yet sporty, with top-quality materials
and the closest attention to detail.
The greatest thought has also gone into defining the
dimensions, which add up to a compact and dynamic shape:
the Mi.To is 4.06 metres long, 1.44 metres high and 1.72
metres wide.
Style, design, and more: performance and technology must
always be top-of-the-range in an Alfa Romeo. As all the
brand’s models, the Mi.To is able to appeal to the most
demanding customers with its exciting driveability,
determined partly to the Alfa DNA system. This control
acts on the engine, brakes, steering, suspension and
gearbox, allowing three different vehicle behaviour
modes based on the driving style best suited to the
situation or the customer’s wishes: supersporting
(Dynamic), town driving (Normal), maximum safety even in
difficult grip conditions (All-Weather). Mi.To is the
first car in its segment to offer such innovative
technological content.
Great performances are guaranteed by a range of 4
engines, all Turbo (petrol and diesel), that currently
range from 90 hp up to 155 hp, with the range due to be
extended by even higher power ratings.
Performance and handling have been developed and
optimised to offer maximum driving satisfaction in
complete safety. The Mi.To offers true Alfa Romeo
sporting ride, featuring contractive suspensions –
standard on all specifications and engines – that
considerably reduce roll and maximum active, passive and
preventive safety: VDC stability system as standard and
a vehicle structure that is already designed to obtain
the top EuroNCAP rating in the future.
The Alfa Mi.To will be introduced to the international
press during June and will then be gradually introduced
from July in all the major markets.
