One thing that used to make us okay with the idea of have no small Alfa Romeos on these shores was the fact that its economy cars usually came underpowered. Tuner Marangoni seems to have deiced to want to get us full-on jealous with its take on the Alfa Romeo MiTo. The tuner took the 155 hp 1.4-liter engine and modified the turbo to now give 220 hp. Now the car is expected to be able to run with the other Euro-only pocket rockets like the Ford Focus ST.

The rest of the modifications are more in the eye of the beholder. It has scissor-style doors, extra air inlets along the body, a rear end diffuser and four exhaust pipes. We don't even have to talked about price because Alfa hasn't even hinted lately about bringing the MiTo to the U.S.
