A high performance concept of the new Alfa MiTo, the Alfa MiTo GTA, will be starring at this year’s Geneva International Motor Show in early March.

In line with the famous GTA (Gran Turismo Alleggerito) signature, (Alleggerito means reduced weight in Italian), the Alfa MiTo GTA Concept prioritises weight reduction, and the achievement of an optimum power-to-weight ratio.

Considerable work has gone into lowering the vehicle’s center of gravity; thus certain components such as the tailgate spoiler, roof and mirror fairings are in carbon-fiber; while aluminum is used extensively in the braking system, suspension, and some parts of the chassis.
