This is a 315kph Mitsubishi Colt
4 February, 2014 | by Matthew Jones
A German tuner has transformed the simpering Mitsubishi Colt into an 730kW, 315kph Ferrari 458-beater.
Yep, this Colt has a huge turbocharger strapped to its 2.0-litre 16V 4G63 engine, and after a lot of careful mapping work by Boba Motorsport, now produces nearly 1000 imperial horsepowers.
You want numbers? Hold on tight: 0-100kph takes 3.0 seconds. 100-200kph takes 3.7 seconds, 200-300kph takes 9.8 seconds, and it’ll run onto a top speed of 315kph. Which, plainly, is ridiculous. And faster than a Ferrari 458.
Four-wheel drive gives the Colt at least a fighting change of staying on the road, but as you can see from the video, it still looks a trifle…squirrelly.
Now watch. And if you’re not a fan of suburban nightclub house music, click on to 1:53 for the speed runs and 4:03 for terminal velocity…
