"It may be the smallest Alfa offered, but the MiTo packs a lot of the spirit of the company’s halo car, the 8C Competizione, into a compact but shapely package. “MiTo,” incidentally, is named after the two Italian cities that played a role in its design and production: Milan, where the car was styled by the Centro Stile Alfa Romeo studio; and Turin (Torino in Italian), where the Mirafiori plant is located. The bold LED taillights and expressive face of the MiTo make it clear this puppy wants to mix it up a bit and have fun. The MiTo not only wears Alfa’s corporate shield well, it also does the marque’s illustrious history of sporting cars justice by coaxing 153 horsepower out of a 1.4-liter engine through the use of a turbocharger. It provides a nice fat torque curve, so no waiting around while the turbo spools up to unleash its full potential. Paired with Alfa’s sport suspension know-how, the MiTo is a supermini that’s a lot of fun to sling around."—Official description[1]
The 2008 Alfa Romeo MiTo is a hot hatch by Alfa Romeo that is featured in Forza Motorsport 3 and Forza Motorsport 4.
Synopsis[]
The MiTo is a supermini based on the 'Small Platform' that is also used by various Fiat and Opel/Vauxhall models.
It is powered by a 1.4 liter turbocharged engine with Fiat's MultiAir variable valve timing that uses electro-hydraulic valve actuation to achieve flexible and individual intake valve timing for each cylinder. Its valvetrain, which requires only a single overhead camshaft, allows smaller engines to increase both performance and fuel economy.[2]
The 1.4 liter MultiAir model has 153 hp (114 kW) and is on par with sporty superminis such as the Seat Ibiza Cupra and Renault Twingo Renault Sport Cup.
