A high performance concept of the new Alfa MiTo, the Alfa MiTo GTA, will be starring at next week’s Geneva Show.
Considerable work has gone into lowering the vehicle’s centre of
gravity; thus certain components such as the tailgate spoiler, roof and
mirror fairings are in carbon-fibre; while aluminium is used

Designed by Fiat Powertrain Technologies it produce a 240bhp from 1742cc.
