Concept Alfa Romeo MiTo GTA, a concept of high performance of the new Alfa Romeo MiTo, made his debut at the Geneva International Motor Show 2009. Designed in the light of the experience gained with the 8 c Competizione Alfa Romeo 8 C spider and 8 Alfa Romeo MiTo GTA concept with the philosophy of supercar “exclusive” on the basis of achieving the greatest driving pleasure, resulting from the exceptional agility of a product worthy of a proportion of race car power.

The signing of the famous GTA (Gran Turismo lightened) (clarify means reduction of weight in Italian), Alfa Romeo MiTo GTA concept prioritizes weight reduction and the achievement of an excellent power weight ratio.

Considerable work has been lost, lowering the Centre of gravity of the vehicle. Some components, such as the spoiler, roof and rear door mirror fairings are therefore carbon fiber; While aluminum is widely used in the system of brakes, chassis and suspension parts.

Under the hood, a new myth of exciting gasoline well in respect to the reduction of the workforce, awareness environmental and the provision of high power and low weight in optimizing packaging efficiency

Designed by Fiat Powertrain Technologies and take advantage of the experience acquired in the production of engines and racing Alfa V6 and Twin Spark, the new compact gasoline engine used variable direct dual valve management systems and advanced technical solutions injection, electronic charge State-of-la-advanced to produce a remarkable 238 of only 1742cc.

Aerodynamic ground were a particular concern, while the car as a whole was reduced from any suspension before 20 mm. uses a new geometry with aluminium bearing weapons, while the rear suspension has all new crossings and suspension completely revised table is active, (the clash of advanced control) system which neutralizes the charge in the context of transfers of acceleration, hardening of the coasts and maximize traction. Concept of suspension Alfa Romeo MiTo GTA also interacts with the system of checks and address for the dynamic control of more efficient vehicles, on the basis of the “sky hook” ensures an excellent level of passenger comfort in daily use.
