2010 Alfa Romeo TZ3 Corsa - aerodynamic design

Zagato Atelier has announced the launch of the Alfa Romeo TZ3 Corsa Concours d’Elegance Villa d’Este XII. Corsa Design TZ3 is not a drill. Not only drawing on 90 years of collaboration between the two brands, not only in Milan shared between Alfa Romeo and Zagato. Corsa TZ3 is a race car, in honor of 100 years of the race and victory in the 20th century as a whole.

It celebrates the men and machines of Alfa Romeo Zagato tradition in general. Scuderia Ferrari of 20 and 30, Alfa Corse from the 40s and 50s, Autodelta 60’s and 70’s with the latest Zagato Ferrari in the 80’s and 90’s.

Given this emotional race, the TZ3 Corsa chassis is based on carbon mono-hull shaped fiber tube combined with a tubular chassis and aluminum body light. It offers technical partner as OMP and Pirelli.

After the legacy of the man-Zagato driver, the car was commissioned by collector Martin Alfa Romeo Zagato Kapp in Zandvoort A Tribute to Zagato, where more than 130 Alfa Romeo Zagato celebrates 90th anniversary of the brand.

Alfa Romeo Gives MiTo A New 1.3 L Diesel

The night before the 152nd  birthday of diesel guru Rudolf Diesel’s 152nd birthday, Alfa Romeo has announced a new diesel engine for its MiTo compact hatchback line. Developed by Fiat, Alfa Romeo’s parent company, the new 1.3-liter JTDM II turbodiesel gulps down fuel at a rate of just 55 mpg in the U.S. combined cycle.

The four-cylinder churns out just 95 horsepower, although its 148 lb-ft. of torque at a low 1,500 rpm helps it hit 62 mph in a 11.6 seconds. Emissions are decreased to just 112 g/km of CO2 thanks to its second-generation turbocharger, an advanced diesel particulate filter and start-stop technology. These advances help it meet stern Euro 5 emissions standards.

The 1.3-liter MiTo diesel will be available in three trim levels in most European markets: Turismo, Lusso and Veloce.
