ITALIAN car maker Alfa Romeo’s eagerly anticipated sporty compact, the Alfa MiTo, will make its UK public debut at the British International Motor Show - from 23 July to 3 August 2008.
Boasting styling cues from the firm’s well received 8C Competizione, the MiTo goes on sale in the UK in January 2009.
Styling touches include the 8C-esque front end, frameless side windows, distinctive headlamps and LED tail lights, flared wheel arches, high waistline and broad C-pillar; all of which combine to give the Alfa MiTo a purposeful stance. At launch, the car will be offered with five engines - three petrol and two diesel.
Pre-ordering begins in October, and prices will start at £10,975 for the entry level 1.4 16V 95 bhp Turismo, and rise to £14,975 for the 1.4 TB 155 bhp Veloce.
