Video: Alfa Romeo Mi.To in motion

June 24th 2008 11:15
Alfa Romeo Mi.To


The gorgeous Alfa Romeo Mi.To hatch is set to turn the subcompact segment on its head when it officially goes on sale around the world and if you still happen to remain unconvinced, we suggest you check out the latest batch of images and the following video clip showing the 8C Competizione inspired hatch in motion.





The level of attention to design and detail the Mi.To has received is unheard of for a car in this market segment from the high quality interior to the self-leveling headlights which can be witnessed in the video. The car's sporty credentials is showcased through a slalom run which showed very little body roll and a whole heap of composure when its vehicle stability control had to kick in under wet conditions.

Alfa Romeo Brera S by Prodrive

May 21st 2008 11:15
Alfa Romeo Brera S


Motorsport specialists Prodrive have spent an entire year extensively tuning the suspension and chassis of the Alfa Romeo Brera to deliver outstanding driver feedback and handling for the stylish coupe.

Available in the UK only, refined styling changes both inside and out makes the Alfa Romeo Brera S stand out from the rest of the line-up with power coming from a choice of two existing direct injection petrol engines - the 138 kW (185 bhp) 2.2 JTS and the 194 kW (260 bhp) 3.2 V6 JTS.

Alfa Romeo Brera S


While engine choices and power figures remain unchanged from the standard models, the Brera S is fitted with bespoke Eibach coil springs and Bilstein dampers that lowers the 10 mm front and rear. This lower centre of gravity gives the car a more nimble and agile feel while reducing body-roll during hard cornering. A set of new 19" alloy wheels and Pirelli PZero Nero tyres creates a more responsive turn-in to corners.

The Brera S has also undergone a diet which has reduced kerb weight by almost 100 kg and 35 kg in the front-wheel drive 3.2 V6 JTS and the 2.2 JTS version respectively.

Other changes include tweaks to the exhaust silencer for a sportier yet refined burble while the interior of the top-of-the-range 3.2 V6 JTS Alfa Brera S gets more supportive sports seats upholstered in soft black Frau® leather with red stitching, so are the dashboard fascia, door panels, steering wheel and gearlever. The centre console and instruments are faced in a dark finish. This interior can also be specified on the 2.2 JTS version.

The 2.2 JTS and 3.2 V6 JTS Alfa Brera S can reach 100 km/h from rest in 8.6 and 7.0 seconds respectively, on the way to maximum speeds of 224 and 250 km/h.
