100 years, 100 artists, 100 works. Alfa Romeo celebrates its centennial anniversary with an exclusive collection dedicated to all its fans. The initiative, organised in collaboration with Cultwork, offers Alfaists a series of original works inspired by 100 years of successes, racing heritage and eternal design quality.

Each work is available in only 100 high-quality print reproductions that depict the glorious Alfa Romeo history in 5 stages:

Cars – the most significant cars
Racing – a legendary sports history
Passion & Icons – iconography
Affiches – the most beautiful advertising posters in Alfa Romeo history
Vintage – the “evergreen” cars loved worldwide

The prints can only be purchased on-line and are a must for all Alfa Romeo and art enthusiasts alike. The complete catalogue is available at www.alfaromeoart.com, the new Alfa Romeo and Alfaists art boutique.

Attention to all MiTomaniacs!

AlfaRomeo.it now has a new section, exclusively dedicated to Dynamic Suspension, the advanced shock absorber control system that actively and continuously adapts the suspension response according to road conditions and driver requirements.

Dynamic Suspension is the result of road tests carried out by Alfa Romeo combined with the advanced engineering expertise of Magneti Marelli. The MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde is the first car in its category to fit the system.

The new section, entitled “New Suspension”, provides a detailed description of the system's technical specifications, which offer maximum levels of stability and control, thanks to sensors located on the front suspension that detect unevenness in the road surface and the presence of obstacles.

The information gathered by the Dynamic Suspension system is integrated with that from the ABS, ASR and VDC systems, maximising the performance of the shock absorbers and guaranteeing the best possible comfort and safety.

The system is completed by Alfa DNA, the device that allows you to select and govern the road behaviour of the Alfa MiTo in Dynamic, Normal and All-weather modes.

The Alfa Romeo MiTo, in addition to being the first car to launch the revolutionary MultiAir system, will also be the first car to feature the new, dual dry clutch automatic transmission known as Alfa TCT combined with Start&Stop, the system that manages temporary engine shut-down at standstill.

The Alfa TCT will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show and will be available to consumers in the coming months from all Alfa Romeo Dealerships.

Specifications

Alfa TCT ensures a high level of driving comfort by using two transmissions in parallel, each with its own clutch. The system allows the driver to shift to the next gear with the previous gear still engaged, thus guaranteeing continuity in torque delivery.

Advantages

- greater speed during gear shifts
- a choice of two modes: manual or automatic
- power loss during gear shifts practically eliminated
- less expensive and easier to install
- optimised fuel consumption thanks to the addition of the Start&Stop system
- guaranteed improvement in fuel efficiency over automatic transmissions (approximately 6% lower fuel consumption than a “Wet” clutch).
- flexibility of application, thanks to compact components

Alfa TCT is protected by 23 patents, already public, divided into 3 areas: transmission management, transmission mechanics and transmission actuation.
