2013 ALFA ROMEO MITO 1.4TBI DISTINCTIVE IN SOUTH AFRICA

There is a clear evolution from the 147 in the MiTo’s styling, despite each being designed by a totally different person – Andreas Zapatinas did the 147, Manuel Diaz is responsible for the MiTo. The new car’s frontal aspect draws heavily on the 8C Competizione coupé (as will future Alfas), and the sculpted bonnet blends dramatically into the shield grille and “moustache” to help create what is arguably the best interpretation of the traditional visage – the “trefoil” – of any current production Alfa. Ah, but the lights… The headlamp design is contentious, having moved away from the “slit” shape we have come to expect. Their ovoid design does make the MiTo’s nose look a little pinched, the effect lessened by opting for bright metal surrounds: black, grey and body-colour frames are alternatives. contact pieter 083 271 1817 or pieter@audinc.co.zaR 165,995
