The car does 0-62 (0-100kmh) in 5 secconds and has a top speed of 155mph(250kmh). Preety decent numbers taking into acount that the Mini Cooper John Cooper works achieves 0-62 in 6.2 secconds! Having seen the mito in person, it is surely not as bad as in the photos, it is lower and wider than i expected.

Alfa's engine always impress but the exterior is just too "love & hate" kinda thing. Hmm…this looks like the cross-breed of a VW Beetle and a Alfa Romeo.

WOW![/quote] It is turbocharged, follow Paul's link to previous report. From what I see, this far only Honda practices on 10:1 cc to horsepower ratio, and they already exceeds it, 2000cc N/A producing 225ps. European auto makers somehow still prefer turbo.

If it is N/A is even more better than Honda i-VTEC type-r engine.. Turbo engine provide more torque & horsepower and with proven technology such like direct injection & dual VVT. The FC is getting better & better until N/A engine seems outdated.. I think is an turbo engine… If it is N/A is even more better than Honda i-VTEC type-r engine..
