ALFA MITO GTA CONCEPT
His presence at the next Geneva Motor Show was no longer a shadow of a doubt. Today Alfa Romeo gives us enough patience with the first official photos of the MiTo GTA stamped (for Gran Turismo Allegerita), the sports brand badge shelved since the 156, released in 2002. Surprise, however, it is primarily through a concept ... quasi-series that bouncing transalpine will come to us.
True or pseudo-concept novelty, it is always the little Arese is up to our expectations.
Aesthetically, it "merely" exacerbate the already aggressive style of base MiTo. Fairly moderate front, totally outrageous at Alloy wheels 19 "or to adopt a huge rear diffuser and dual exhaust center for less eloquent. Suffice to say it will be difficult to miss without noticing.
Compared to the standard MiTo, the GTA version is also distinguished by its weight lowered through the use of specific materials: carbon fiber spoiler at the rear, flag and mirror caps, aluminum for elements of the braking system, suspension and chassis parts.
Inside, the MiTo GTA subtle blend of sportiness and luxury. Sports seats, the floor covering incorporating the design of the tread Pirelli or door sills and aluminum pedals marked GTA coexist with the massive presence of Alcantara © coating on dashboard, the pavilion and amounts.

Other signs of virility interior, there are also new air vents, a sports steering wheel and gear lever knob and a special tachometer graduated to ... 300 km / h! However, it is unlikely that the storage for helmets competition (sic) and seat belts 4 point crossing the course of the series production.
Salon Geneva 2009 - Alfa Romeo MiTo GTA
Let us now look at this dish MiTo GTA, the engine of course! Not surprisingly, there is an evolution of the new 4-cylinder direct injection turbo 1750 TBI. But while rumors evoked a power of 230 bhp Alfa engineers have decided to make a small gift with ten additional horsepower, or 240 hp and a total power of 137.3 bhp specific hallucinating / l. The front wheels scream ahead!
Better to go to the frenzy, Alfa Romeo MiTo has changed its consistently: 20 mm lowered ride height, stiffened suspension, new front axle geometry with aluminum arms or a novel active suspension system. Developed in collaboration with Magneti Marelli, the latter compensates for load transfer in suspensions interacting with brakes and steering, more directly for even more efficiency.
Obviously, seems particularly pampered Alfa MiTo GTA's. We look forward to the final model ... but especially the first test. Mini Cooper S had better watch out!
