New Colt Coupé-Cabriolet Concept Delivers Sporty Fun in the Sun on a Budget

While the Colt subcompact isn't available in North America, at least not yet, the cute little B-segment droptop is definitely worth taking a closer look. Alongside the new model on the Geneva stand, was Mitsubishi's first show car ever, the 1962 Colt 600 Convertible.

Colt Coupé-Cabriolet concept is extremely close to the final design specification, according to Mitsubishi, a car that will include a variety of engine configuration with top models featuring a turbocharged 147bhp 1.5-litre unit that is currently used Colt CZT.

Based off of Colt 5-door hatchback architecture, the Cabriolet will be a 2+2 despite its diminutive size.

According to a press release, Italian corrozzeria Pininfarina and Mitsubishi will share design and engineering duties.

So far there are no details as to the other engines being offered, or what it will eventually be called.
