Mitsubishi Colt Ralliart
Turbocharged pocket rocket takes inspiration from the Evo X
Few makers know more about high performance, turbocharged cars than Mitsubishi. And if you take one look at the Colt Ralliart, you’ll know just where the inspiration has come from – the Evo X.
It might be a bit less powerful and be only front-wheel drive, but the pocket rocket Colt still packs a 147bhp 1.5-litre engine and costs just £12,049. It certainly looks the part too, with that scowling fighter jet-style grille, which is combined with sideskirts and dark grey 16-inch alloys.
It’s great fun on a B-road, with an agile chassis that makes the most of the considerable punch – 0-62mph in just 7.4 seconds – on tap. In fact the only downside is the steering – it’s heavy and lacking in feel. Apart from that, though, you’re looking at a real junior Evo X.
