Pretty Cool Ralliart Colt
By Ben Schaffer
The Real JDM
Speedhunters is doing some really cool stuff over on their collaborative blog/webzine. One of those things is the “Archive” section. While looking through my personal archives, I happened upon the Mitsubishi Ralliart Colt SR4X. This car was made by Ralliart in Europe and is based on the Colt, but uses an EVO VI drivetrain. There are several aspects of the design that are particularly well done. The widebody looks great and I actually like the stance. It’s not low, but were talking about Ralliart, not “Slammiart” and as such it fits the purpose of the car well. The adjustable rear spoiler is also very nice and the only thing I’d personally change is the choice of wheels. Otherwise, this is a pretty cool blast from the past. One more shot after the jump.

A friend of mine actually just finished building a mid 90′s dodge colt into an AWD turbo charged unit. Essentially its an adapted Talon drive line modified to fit the Colt’s structure. Went to dyno last week and put down 300hp at 5000rpm and had a coolant line behind the turbo start to leak. The idea is cool, but even awesomer when custom made.

There was a company here in Australia making replicas for a while. I think they had to remove/replace a large portion of the rear floorpan to fit the Lancer 4wd rear suspension/differential & fuel tank.

The 1999 Colt in this pic is available in Australia, Europe, and South Africa. It is the same car chassis-wise as the Mirage 3 door in the USA.

I liked it the moment I saw it! I don’t care if it has a butt hole exhaust or a wing!

Very interesting car. I like the whole idea and this must be one hot hatchback
