Mitsubishi’s turbocharged pocket rocket, the Colt Ralliart Version R, will receive a mild bump in power as well as lighter wheels for 2008.

The Colt Ralliart, currently only available in Japan and Australia, will be tweaked to produce a total of 122kW - approximately 6kW more than the current model. The new 16-inch wheels are purportedly 1.5kg lighter per corner than the old design, which should produce a tangible difference in suspension response. Other changes are limited to cosmetic enhancements, with a redesigned gearknob and new interior trim prettying things up on the inside. The exterior is unchanged from the outgoing model.
