Mitsubishi has launched two special edition versions of its Colt model.

Both are based on the standard three-door and CZT versions of the Colt and feature black paintwork with two silver stripes running from front-to-back.

The Colt Black Hawk features Mitsubishi’s three-cylinder, 12-valve, DOHC engine, which delivers 50mpg. This smaller-engined version comes complete with a set of 16-inch alloy wheels, which are surrounded by low profile tyres.

The Colt Black Hawk CZT is based on the high-performance member of the Colt family - the turbo-charged, 1468cc, MIVEC-engined CZT. It reaches 0-62mph in 7.2 seconds and goes on to a top-speed of 132mph.

Standard equipment includes sports seats, rear tailgate spoiler, front fog lamps, sports grille, disc brakes all round and a six-speaker CD/radio with steering wheel remote controls, the Black Hawk CZT is also fitted with a set of mean-looking 17-inch diameter, 7-inch, special ‘Black Hawk’ alloy wheels and ultra-low profile 205/40 tyres.
