The Extraordinary Mitsubishi Colt

The current Mitsubishi Colt is a supermini built by Mitsubishi Motors at their NedCar plant in the Netherlands, using the same underpinnings as its sister car, the now discontinued Smart Forfour. Mitsubishi has used the name twice previously, first as the marque of a series of kei cars and subcompact cars in the 1960s, and then as the export version of the Mitsubishi Mirage hatchback in the 1980s and 1990s. The Chrysler Corporation, Mitsubishi's longtime partner, also used the name in the 1970 when it rebadged the second generation Mitsubishi Galant as Dodge Colt and Plymouth Colt captive imports for the United States market.

The Coolest Smart ForTwo

Smart Fortwo was first launched in 1998 Paris Motor Show with a Tagline of “City Coupe”.

The Smart fortwo's length of only 8ft 10in (second generation) allows as many as three of the vehicles to park in the space of a standard-length car.

An exposed, rigid steel frame, marketed as the "Tridion" frame, surrounds and protects the passenger compartment while defining the car's shape and design — and allowing for interchangeable plastic body panels to complete the exterior. With a weight of 730 kg, it is one of the lightest cars in the European market.

In order to maximize the front crumple zone, the Smart fortwo has its engine positioned at the rear of the vehicle.
