Alfa Romeo MiTo Veloce: 'Light' GTA with 180HP to be Unveiled at AutoRAI


It appears that Alfa Romeo is in a hurry to introduce a whole range of sporty variants of its well-received MiTo premium city car. And while we'll have to stay put to see the production version of the adrenaline-packed, 240-horsepower MiTo GTA that made its debut as a near-production concept at this month's Geneva motorshow, Alfa Romeo is readying yet another sporty variant that will close the gap between the 155HP 1.4 TB model and the top-spec GTA.

Alfa Romeo MiTo Veloce 180HpAccording to our Dutch pals over at Autoblog.nl, the MiTo Veloce will make its world premiere at Holland's largest motor show, the AutoRAI 2009 that will be held at the Amsterdam Exhibition Centre from 1 to 11 April.

The MiTo Veloce is said to come with a modified version of the standard car's 1.4-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine boasting the same upgrades as the Fiat Grande Punto Abarth SS' 1.4L turbo unit for a total output of 180HP (+35Hp over the 1.4 TB).

Following in the footsteps of its Abarth SS stablemate, the MiTo Veloce will also feature an upgraded suspension and beefier brakes as well as a more aggressively styled bodykit and larger alloy wheels.
