With the imminent arrival of its new Mi.To, Alfa Romeo will soon be
offering a new generation of Alfa aficionados its most compact s****ty
car to date.
A contem****ary 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 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. This decision highlights
the brand’s strong desire to consolidate its Milanese roots.
The Mi.To is the first new Alfa Romeo 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
frameless side windows, the distinctive frontal treatment, the shape
of the headlights and the LED tail lights. The headlights and tail
lights represent a distinctive personalised feature: the front and
rear lighting surrounds exhibit different forms of material
processing and colours, which will allow customers to create an
ultra-stylish ‘eye-liner’ effect that underscores the car’s style and
assertiveness.
The highly ‘personal’ dashboard and seats ensure that the interior
represents the ultimate expression of Italian style: welcoming yet
s****ty, with top-quality materials and close attention to detail; all
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 Alfa
Romeo. As with all the brand’s models, the Mi.To is able to appeal to
the most demanding customers with its exciting driveability, a factor
which is determined in part by Alfa’s new DNA system. This
driver-operated system acts directly 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: s****ting (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.
Strong performance is guaranteed by a turbocharged range of petrol and
diesel engines spanning 90-155bhp, with the range due to be extended
by higher powered versions.
Performance and handling have been developed and optimised to offer
maximum driving satisfaction in complete safety. The Mi.To offers a
true Alfa Romeo s****ting set-up, featuring contractive suspensions –
standard on all specifications and engines – that minimise roll and
offer maximum active, passive and preventive safety. Alfa Romeo’s
specially developed VDC stability system is fitted as standard, and
the vehicle structure is already designed to obtain a top Euro ncap
crash safety 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.
