01/07/2008 23:07. Alfa Romeo has confirmed its all-new sporty supermini will star at the British motor show on July 23.

The Mito is expected to go on sale in January 2009 and there'll be a choice of three petrol engine variants and two diesels, with the turbocharged GTA following later in 2009. Prices start at £10,975.

The front end has been inspired by Alfa's supercar, the 8C Competizione and its platform is based on the Fiat Grande Punto. // Channel 4 News
