Externally, the 2014 MiTo features a new chrome front grille, titanium grey headlamp/taillight surrounds, tinted rear window and a sports rear bumper, while a new Matte Magnesio Grey paint has been added to the palette. 

The car was driven by journalist and expert on the German track Horst von Saurma and was equipped with special Pirelli P Zero Trofeo tyres, the most sporty version in the Pirelli P Zero line. 

if the MiTo is to be a true MINI challenger it has to appeal to the emotions of onlookers in a big way, and at the very least it also has to have exceptional driving characteristics. You can decide for yourself if the first part of that sentence rings true; in driving terms the MiTo does not have quite the sharpness of a MINI, but it's certainly a lot of fun. 

The MiTo’s handling gets slightly mixed reviews. Some praise the way it drives, describing it as fun yet comfortable, while others suggest a distinct lack of steering and ride precision for a car of this class. Comfort also comes under fire from some critics, suggesting that the ride can be a little on the crashy side. 

For the 2014MY, the MiTo gains revised interior and exterior colors, a chromed front grille, titanium grey headlamp and tail lamps surrounds, plus upgraded dashboard plastics and a new five-inch infotainment system with voice recognition.

The Alfa Romeo 4C made its debut as a concept car at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. We will start with the bad news: while previous rumors suggested that the 1.7-liter turbocharged inline-four engines will deliver about 300 horsepower, it has now been confirmed that the 4C will, in fact, deliver a total of 237 horsepower. 

 The same source suggests the car will weight only 850 kg (1,874 lbs), though we're not 100% convinced Alfa Romeo had the money to develop such a light platform. 

As for pricing, the Switzerland-based dealer stated that Alfa Romeo hopes to have a target price between $76,400 to $87,300 (€56,000 and €64,000). It is unlikely that pricing will be that high in America, especially if Alfa Romeo intends to be competitive with the Porsche Cayman, which has an MSRP of $52,600 in base form. 

 The 4C shares similar dimensions to the Lotus Elise S, but while the 4C concept weighed 850kg, the production model is likely to weigh in at around 1,000kg – slightly more than the Elise’s 924kg.

Review 1930 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 GS Spider

The forthcoming Amelia Island event by RM Auctions next month will feature the sale of one of the greatest prewar sports cars in the collector car market today. The vehicle in question is a rare 1930 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Gran Sport example, estimated to fetch between $1,100,000-$1,500,000.

Featuring a lightweight Zagato bodywork, the vehicle is fitted with a 85 bhp, 1,752 cc supercharged DOHC inline six-cylinder engine, four-speed manual gearbox, solid front and live rear axle with semi-elliptic leaf springs, and four-wheel drum brakes.

One of the largest changes introduced with the 4th series Gran Sport was a modified Roots-type supercharger that operated at engine speed and with larger rotors. With no step gear, it ran slower and therefore spun the opposite direction which relocated the carburetor from the left to the right side of the manifold.1
With its supercharger, the 1750 Gran Sport was an invincible race car, one with ample torque for its small chassis. The supercharger was a necessary ingredient that allowed the 1750 to be light, yet powerful, a characteristic that contributed to less driver fatigue and less stress on individual components. It was somewhat rare on sports cars of the period but was proven effective with the 1929 Super Sport. For the Gran Sport the engines main bearings also increased in size.1

In competition, the 6C-1750 was quite possibly the most successful car/chassis ever manufactured by Alfa Romeo. In addition to winning the 1929 Mille Miglia, twenty-five out of twenty-six supercharged 1750s completed the 1000 mile course. During the 1930 Mille Miglia, the 1750 would sweep the first four places in the race and would become known for an epic 6C-1750 duel between Nuvolari and Varzi. Nuvolari overtook Varzi in the pre-dawn with his 1750's headlights switched off and continued to win the race with a finishing time of 6 hours 18 minutes 59 seconds (averaging 62.78 mph) making the 6C-1750 the first car to ever complete the 1000 mile Mille Miglia Race averaging over 100 kph.

Other victories included the 1929 and 1930 24-Hours of Spa, 1930 Tourist Trophy, several World Speed Records (2000cc class) at Montlhery, France in 1931 (including 1000 kilometers @ 97.1 mph, 4000 Mile Record @ 93.97 mph and 48 Hour Record @ 94.4 mph) as well as winning numerous other Road Races, and Hillclimbs.

The current owner, a noted collector in his own right, has been absolutely pleased with the car’s rally abilities. For long distance driving, he has fitted a custom made sling to alleviate the leg fatigue caused by the centre throttle pedal and put the steering wheel into the second, more comfortable, driving position – neither of which has modified the car in any way. On the button and perfectly sorted, it is ready for a fourth Mille Miglia entry!

Concept car that is often exhibited by a manufacturer-car manufacturers often appear extremely futuristic. It is not only happening in the present course.

Because the cars epoch can also find out he has a futuristic ideas though made in the old days when technology was not as sophisticated as this.

Innovation concept cars that was both design and technology also deserves thumbs up. Below we present seven older but the concept car concept futuristic:

1. B.A.T. 7

The car that was launched in Turin in 1954 uses three Alfa Romeo cars as a base Berlinetta Aerodinamica Tecnica designed by Franco Scaglione of the famous design house Bertone.

With half-closed and the wheels on the rear wing, BAT 7 looks like a car from another planet. Even so, Bertone claims to make design a car like this long-needed study aerodynamics.


2. Sting Ray

Cars made by GM design chief Bill Mitchell is made to show courage in the world GM is racing. Evidenced by the participation of this car in 1959 and 1960.

Armed with the chassis of the Corvette SS picked then wrapped with a new body, Sting Ray cool present and those who see it.


Three. Ford Mustang I

Progenitor legendary Ford Mustang muscle car was originally built in 1962 upon the idea of Roy Lunn and Frank Theyleg to rival sports car owned by MG and Alfa Romeo. This car initially apply only a small Ford Taunus V4 engine with four-speed manual transmission that can only produce 109 hp.

4. Cadillac Cyclone

Futuristic cars made in 1959 so this seemed like an airplane. Outside the body of this car is already equipped with fins at the stern with a front bumper with exhaust-style fighters who are now in the front section near the front wheels.

Moreover, thanks to the cabin door and transparent application, this car can give up the sensation of climbing a fighter plane. Moreover, this car is also equipped with communication devices that can make this car passengers to communicate with people outside the car without having to open canopy of the car.


5. GM Firebird III
This car is a car that is very special with the leading specifications that have been made. And just like the Cadillac Cyclone, a car made in 1959 was also very inspired by fighter aircraft. That's why this car looks more like a jet fighter than a car.

A side car until the fin on the back and the cabin is designed in the style of fighter jets. To control this car, we are not necessary to use a steering wheel but simply use the joystick like on the plane with all the attributes that have been computerized.


6. Ferrari Modulo

Designed in Pininfarina design house and is shown at the Geneva Auto Show 1970, Ferrari Modulo looks like a space module and not like a Ferrari in general. But if you see a powerful 550 hp V12 engine, the doubt on this car would disappear immediately.


7. Aero-Vette

Looking at the long history of Corvette, this car could be said as one of the best concept cars from American manufacturers. Armed with fantastic body and gullwing doors, Aero-Vette look very exotic.

GM design boss affairs, Bill Mitchell even had prepared a car who first shown in 1977 was to be mass produced by machine applications small-block V-8 to cut the selling price in the future. But unfortunately the program in cencel for a reason.
