Alfa Romeo

Alfa fans are sure to go weak at the knees when they see all the models on the Italian car maker’s stand at this year's Paris Motor Show.

Both hard top and Spider versions of the 8C Competizione 400bhp V8 supercar took pride of place in red and white hues.

And making its show debut was the new TI 'Turismo Internazionale' spec Alfa Brera Spider, which is due to go on sale this autumn. It will initially be available with 2.2 JTS and 3.2 V6 engines, with other powerplants to follow.

Alfa Romeo's engineers have adjusted the car’s suspension: the springs and dampers are now even stiffer to increase grip, while the brand new 19-inch alloy rims are inspired by the 8C Competizione.

And if that wasn’t enough, five versions of the soon to be released MiTo, with 1.4-litre turbo petrol and 1.6-litre turbodiesel engines, were added to the party.
