Inspired by the CZ2 concept car from the 2003 Swiss expo, the new model is seen in near production-ready form, ahead of its UK launch in the summer of next year.
With its folding metal roof, the drop-top will aim to steal sales from Peugeot"s popular 206 CC and Vauxhall"s Tigra. As with its French rival, the Mitsubishi will have four seats - but the short wheelbase means there will only be room for small children in the rear. The Coup탩-Cabriolet will share its engine line-up with the standard Colt hatchback, which means a flagship variant is expected with the 147bhp 1.5-litre turbocharged powerplant found in the CZT hot hatch.
Prices have yet to be confirmed by Mitsubishi, but entry-level models are likely to cost from í‚á£14,750, while range-topping cars are tipped to be priced around í‚á£16,750.
