The GTA edition of
Alfa's adorable
Mito has broken cover ahead of
Geneva, and we've got to say it is a fantastic little Mini-fighter that we hope makes it over here as part of the Chrysler/Fiat deal. The coolest visual addition has to be the two center exhaust exits in the rear diffuser. They look like those of a
VW R32, only bigger and cooler. And the dramatic flaring of the rear fenders--fantastic.

MiTo GTA is the mini hot-hatch edition of the
Ford Fiesta-rivalling
Alfa MiTo supermini, and packs a 1.8-litre turbocharged engine.And the MiTo�s trump card is its prodigious 240bhp power output which outguns cars from the class above, including the
Honda Civic Type-R, Ford Focus ST, Volkswagen Golf GTi and Vauxhall Astra VXR.

Alfa�s engineers have managed this mighty power output by adding direct injection, variable valve timing, advanced electronic management and, of course, a whacking great turbo, high-performance edition of
Alfa's latest compact, featuring carbon-fiber body parts and extensive application of aluminum under the skin in such areas as brakes and suspension.

MiTo too.While there�s clever active damping technology which keeps the car flat under acceleration as well as in the corners, but doesn�t compromise the ride.

Alfa Romeo has yet to release more information regarding the
MiTo GTA Concept, other than what we already know.
