A mini EVO??

I was browsing around and stumbled across this article:
http://www.motoring.co.za/index.php?...icleId=2285214

Its a 1.5L turbocharged Colt for the South African market. It even has a front mount intercooler. I'll admit this thing is ugly as sin, but it is kind of cool at the same time.

later,
Curt

I saw a prototype pic of a colt that looked like that a while ago...the new colt in Europe look just like that, but I don't know if they ever produced an "evo" version.
I'd rock it, reminds me of a bad-ass Chevy Aveo.

"itll deliver its knockout punch at 150 bhp at 6000 rpms"
More like a finger flick.

1 horsepower is 748 watts. 112000/748=149.73 HP

Wow, that kind of looks like the car from the movie "Just Married". Pretty ugly, and it looks uncomfortable. I wouldn't drive one it you gave it to me.

that thing has to weigh a whole 2200lbs.

150hp in a 2200lbs car equals roughly 250hp in a 3200lbs car.

so it'd probly be just as fast as a WRX, or even a bit quicker.


but gawd is it ooglay
