Alfa Romeo Mi.To breaks cover


Last year Alfa Romeo burst onto the supercar scene with its deliciously daring 8C Competizione. Smooth, flowing original lines spoke of a redefinition of the company’s styling language, and as these leaked official images reveal the carmaker’s new entry-level hatch shares that same language. The car also continues Alfa’s new naming practice of using actual names instead of numbers and will sport the ‘Mi.To’ title when it arrives in June.

Under the pretty sheet metal is the same platform used by Fiat’s Punto but with enough modifications to give the Alfa its own handling and performance characteristics.

Alfa Romeo is yet to reveal official details but expect to see a similar engine lineup as Punto, which means a range of petrol and diesel engines starting with a base 95hp 1.4L unit and possibly topping out with a 230hp turbo petrol engine in a performance GTA model.
