Mitsubishi Colt Z30
In November 2002, a new Colt was released by Mitsubishi in Japan with a design by Olivier Boulay and built on the same platform as the Smart Forfour. In Japan, it was sold at a specific retail chain called Galant Shop. A European version made at Mitsubishi's NedCar facility followed into production a year later (see below). This generation is not sold in the United States.
In 2004, the Colt was launched in Europe and Australia, with models ranging from 1.1 L MPI MIVEC, 1.3 L MPI MIVEC, 1.5 L MPI MIVEC and 1.5 L turbo MIVEC in petrol. A three-door arrived in 2005 for Europe only.
The Smart Forfour also shared the 2003 specification chassis, with Brabus releasing a performance version of the Forfour in 2004 using the same engine as used in the 2004 European cz-T, but squeezing 30 hp (22 kW) extra out of the same 4G15.
