World premiere of the Alfa Romeo MiTo 170 hp 1.4 MultiAir TBI is the Frankfurt Motor Show 2009. Exclusive to cut back a legendary symbol over the years has been the subject of some of the Alfa Romeo sports car. Take always been synonymous with wealth, race and win, "Green Clover" (cloverleaf) now has a new type of sport, which combines driving pleasure with better environmental characteristics.
Taking the Alfa Romeo MiTo is a machine with a powerful 170 hp engine Multiair and innovative solutions that highlight the model features: keep, agility, active safety and driving have increased the engine is one of the highest values of specific power in the world and provides the platform until now to think of a car in this class.
The best feature of this engine is its exceptional weight / power ratio, which has always been one of the key factors of success for Alfa Romeo on road and track. The relationship class, 6.7 kg / hp is almost 10 percent better than the already excellent performance of the current 1.4 Turbo Diesel 155 hp. A 124 hp / liter, this engine is also one of the world leaders in specific energy. In fact, the highest ever recorded in a car Alfa, claiming the heritage of the great engineering Alfa Romeo MiTo.
This is a very important value because it demonstrates the effectiveness of staff reductions, for the production of high-tech engine to improve performance combined with a significant reduction in fuel consumption and emissions. In fact, this last area, which provides evidence of the technical level reached more surprising: 4.8 l/100 km and 139 g / km of CO2 (extra-urban cycle) are closer than they expect from an economy car of a compact sports car that goes from 0 to 100 km / h in just over 7 seconds.
Behind these exceptional characteristics of power and unmatched performance / consumption ratio, Alfa Romeo decided to give a feeling of sportiness and technology of Alfa Romeo MiTo quality finishes, attention to detail and a number of features. An example is the 17 "satin finished titanium wheels (depending on the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione supercar). The same colors used in headlight frames and mirrors, but the dark parables lighthouse paint to get a new metal sublimation technology. The interior is also a refined feel with sporty all-black environment, without reflections or distractions while driving. technological aspect of this car is further enhanced sporty cloth used for curtains, seats, dashboard, and a modern white light on the dashboard .
It should also be noted that Alfa Romeo has developed a chassis update to emphasize the innovative and dynamic qualities of the Alfa Romeo MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde.
Dynamic Suspension
Racing has always been a testing ground for new technologies that have found their way to the world's most famous circuits in standard road cars. An example of this passage between two worlds seem very different are the dynamics of the suspension. This system, which actively and continuously monitors the electronic shock absorbers, has been developed by combining the test unit with the latest Alfa Romeo engineering techniques Magneti Marelli.
Therefore, using the experience gained in the circuit, the system allows the Quadrifoglio Verde Alfa Romeo MiTo further highlighted in terms of agility and handling, which gives it exceptional driveability and unparalleled security. The driver has three advantages of dynamic suspension system, comfort, safety and agility. Above all, the electronic shock absorbers adjust to road conditions and controls all movements of the car. This ensures maximum comfort and ensures that the irregularities of the road is completely absorbed. In addition, the dynamic suspension system always ensures maximum grip and safety, participating actively respond to all road conditions. Finally, due to roll and pitch are more restricted in all conditions, there is increased stability during cornering and agility adds to doubt the Alfa Romeo MiTo.
The suspension seamlessly interacts with three different control strategies Alfa DNA system. In "normal" times, agility combined with a level of comfort, as in "all the time," security features are enhanced by continuous interaction between the dynamic stability control systems, steering and suspension. Finally, in "Dynamic", the MiTo is a true sports car attached to the land and suitable for any car: it is no coincidence that the system was developed at the Balocco track historical and around the corner Nürburgring. Thus, through the hard work of Alfa Romeo and Magneti Marelli, the car is responsive and reliable when you turn the wheel or put his foot on the accelerator.
The innovative dynamic suspension system consists of four electronically controlled dampers, five accelerometer sensors, a control unit and an interface with Alfa DNA of different configurations and other onboard electronic systems.
Its main function is to participate actively and continuously monitor the response of the dampers that adapt according to the movement of the car and road conditions and driving style. To summarize, the dynamic suspension system better protects passengers from uneven road surfaces with effective filtering and optimizes comfort by recognizing an obstacle (like a bump or hole) and adjust the behavior of the suspension accordingly. The system also provides a better swing by changing the distribution of the four damping shock absorbers improve handling and team, thanks to advanced dynamic control side. In addition, the suspension system handles dynamic longitudinal dynamic control by adjusting the movement of the chassis during acceleration, braking and shifting, and integrating seamlessly with the vehicle dynamic control systems, steering and braking.
The new six-speed C635
The technological qualities of the Alfa Romeo MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde is further reinforced by the next generation of the C635 gearbox. Developed by FPT and Verrone plant built in Italy, this revolutionary device is the first mechanical result of a design philosophy to improve the flexibility of driving performance, consumption and production.
In terms of driving pleasure is concerned, the new gearbox ensures clean and quick changes with the movements of very short selection, activation of a uniform pressure, no noise and vibrations. In addition, design and modern building techniques will help to significantly reduce levels of consumption due to less friction and optimal gear ratios.
Taking the Alfa Romeo MiTo is a machine with a powerful 170 hp engine Multiair and innovative solutions that highlight the model features: keep, agility, active safety and driving have increased the engine is one of the highest values of specific power in the world and provides the platform until now to think of a car in this class.
