R
ally car specialist Mitsubishi is set to replace its current hot
hatch with a revamped version of its turbocharged Colt.
Wearing the legendary Ralliart badge, the newcomer this
time goes one better than its predecessor as it sports
a new snub-nosed front which mimics that found on
the firm’s latest Lancer Evolution X. Throw in a lowered
suspension, stylish body kit, roof spoiler and super-cool
16-inch grey alloy wheels, this is one hot little hatchback
which looks seriously purposeful. Twist the key and the
1.5 litre engine awakens with a growl that wouldn’t
disgrace a 300bhp rally car. Developing 147bhp and
210Nm of torque, the little power plant packs quite a
punch in the lightweight Colt, and with it tipping the
scales at just 1,060 kg, the power to weight ratio for this
car is pretty impressive for a compact car.
