You have to admit that the Mini is unbeateble in its class.The kart handling and its overall design makes this car one of the best selling in the world.But what would you think about an Italian Mini?That would be something wouldn’t it?So did Alfa Romeo and set its mind on doing something:the Mi.To.The unusuable name has been ecplained by the company: Mi – from Milano,where the car’s design has been conceved and ToTorino,the city where the car will be produced.

Basicaly the Mi.To is a small 8C Competizione(see the front side and the rear lights).The car has the dimensions that the Italians say are perfect for a excellent handling: 4.06 meters in lenght, 1.44 meters in hight and 1.72 meters wide.The driver will also have to chose from 3 settings: Dynamic –sport mode, Normal-for city driving and All Weather-for low grip conditions.Alfa Romeo already announced 4 engines for the Mi.To,both diesel and petrol,with power ranges bethween 90 and 155 HP.But we expect that later on there will be a couple of „real” engines.And when I say that I mean something that can come close to the Mini Cooper S.

The car will be presented to the press in June and in July Mi.To will hit the showrooms in Europe.There aren’t many pictures and NO price informations but we can expect premium…

    Now that looks like a nice car; I’d take that over a mini any day, provided that it drives well.
