Alfa Romeo Mi.To spy photos

By Alborz Fallah |

Although we’ve already seen leaked images of the Alfa Romeo Mi.To before, the Italian manufacturer is still keeping the covers on as it begins testing the car on public roads.

Our European photographers were ready as always and snapped up these photos near Alfa Romeo’s test centre. While Alfa has not set a foot wrong in terms of exterior designs in the last few years, it’s lacking a serious hothatch, which the Mi.To should deliver.

In case you’re interested, the Mi.To name comes from the shortcuts used for Milan (Mi) and Torino (To), the two hometowns of the manufacturer.

The Mi.To is expected in European dealers later in the year and will take on the lovable but aging MINI Cooper and the upcoming Audi A1.

While it’s based on the Fiat Grande Punto, the Mi.To will have some serious firepower. Petrol engines will range from 90kW to 170kW and they will join a range of diesel units.

    not sure about the styling. Looks a little awkward. Why can’t their small cars share some design cues with the likes of the GT and Brera?

    Why show these when the official pics have been flying ar4ound for a couple of weeks?

    Sorry about the 4 that snuck in there. Going too quick.

    Re the MINI comment – so a design that is less than 18 months old is “aging”?

  • Jimbo

    Revhed, did the Mini really change that much in its very minor facelift 18 months ago?

    I have also seen the official pics and it looks good. I’m a small car fan and its good to see some high quality brands (Alpha, Audi, Fiat) making cars to give us an alternative to the Mini.

    I hope it isn’t overpriced like the Mini though.

    Much better to see a new car in the flesh and on the road rather than an all too composed shoot in a studio!

  • Duck

    Id still prefer the aging MINI Cooper than this!

    I think it looks great and the 8C is also beautiful but when I look at the front of the 159 or the Brera/Spider, I can’t help but think that they are taking a step back in beauty. Just my opinion.
