2008 Mitsubishi Colt Ralliart Version-R 163 HP

Mitsubishi has revealed the 2008 M.Y. Colt Ralliart Version-R which like the current model (see here), will only be available in Japan. The revised Version-R’s 1.5-litre turbocharged engine has been tweaked to deliver an extra 9 HP, raising total output to 163 HP. Besides that, the Colt Ralliart Version-R also features an updated interior trim, a new gearbox knob and a new set of 16-inch alloy wheels that are 1.5 kg or 3.3 lbs lighter than those they replace. -High-Res image gallery after the jump
