The Gta Badge Will Help The Brand, Badge Wise.in Any Event With Audi Ramming S/rs Badges On All Their Models, Ford With The St's/rs',opel/vauxhall With The Opc/vxr Range & Bmw With The M Cars, Alfa Need To Have A Performance Version Of Each Model & What Better To Define That Than The Gta Badge?
I Agree With The Fact That The "once" Originals Were "pure" Cars With Rwd, No Ecu's, Cats Etc But That Was Another Era.times Have Changed & We Must Move With The Times.
Ar Need To Hit At The Pocket Hatchbacks & The Gti Brigade.
I Love The Sound Of A Pure Twincam Or Ar V6 But These Small Turbo Motors Churn Out V6 3.2 Type Power With A Low Mass.

There Will Be Larger Engined Gta Versions I Hope But If The Mito Gta Makes It Into Production It Will Be A Good Thing For All Of Us Alfisti.
Ciao

I found that so hard to read.. easy on the caps lock eh?

Alfa have officially announced that a GTA version of the MiTo will be out next year using a 1750cc Turbo Direct Injection engine with twin variable timing and producing 230bhp.

italiaspeed.com

What's great about it is that De Meo (Alfa chief) said that from 80kmh to 120kmh, the MiTo GTA will be able to race the 8C

sounds good to me......"a right pocket rocket" Who needs a Maserati when you can have a MiTO GTA

Well ....

I suppose that the Maserati has more "foot" room...

Well ...

i didn't really like the Mi.to itself... but if the GTA version were to look ANYTHING like in the rendered pic at the start of this thread.......

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

**drools all over keyboard**

Want one

wow!!

NICE. Apparently it will be FWD though, hopefully that eDiff is up to it!

and the chaisis.......

just seen at autocar.co.uk that the MiTo GTA will have 230bhp with Q2 System and a 0-60 in under 6 seconds... just what we needed!!!!!!

got a link?

In under 6 seconds, it must be very light, lets hope soo!

Yes guys ive seen the prototyre in italy when I was on a course, its a great bit of kit.. . . If I remember i think its got a 1.8 turbo lump in it.

Sounds cool

I want one now!!

Yeah, 230 bhp turbo 4-pot. t's going to be labelled 1750 in recognition of the old GTV. Power/weight will be ridiculous. It'll blow everything else out of the water!

Martinelli, the chief engineer (who also designed all Shumacher's F1 engines) said that from 80-120kph it'll keep up with an 8C!!!

Hopefully it will be made I want one too the looks have really grown on me

It seems a shame if Alfa were to limit the engine to the mighty MiTo, so why not drop it in the GT / 159 / 149

sounds promising, how cool would it be for alfa to have a car that would blow hot clios, corsas, minis etc into the weeds?

Does anyone know if it is planned to be front or four wheel drive?

They will end up in the other models as well. The GM based four cylinder JTS engine will be followed up by the Fiat based turbo engines. The 1.8 Turbo will replace the 2.2 JTS for instance, but won't have 230 bhp.
