We have previously reported the Alfa Romeo Junior. And now Alfa's new hatch spied for the first time in Torino. The four-meter long two-door, the Junior will be available in October 2008. Alfa plans to produce 75,000 units of the car annually. The main rivals of the new hatch will be the new Audi A1 and the MINI.
The Junior is based on the Fiat Punto but it's expected to look much more attractive than its brother. Engine choices will come from the higher level of the Punto options, with choices ranging from 120 horsepower on up to 200 hp. A 1.8 liter turbo with 227 horsepower could be also possible, with diesel options becoming available at some point. 22 centimeters shorter than the Alfa Romeo 147, the Junior could be a fantastic city car . A convertible version may also get consideration.
Although the heavy camouflage, the distinct Alfa grille was not entirely disguised. Speculation has it that the Alfa Romeo Junior may get an unveiling at the Geneva Motor Show in two weeks.
