This 963-HP, 196-MPH Mitsubishi Colt Is Totally Bonkers: Video

Somewhere in Germany, there lurks a beast that just happens to look like a Mitsubishi Colt.

Most people think of the Colt--and it's many permutations--as a cheap econobox, but this one has a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4G63 four-cylinder engine, which chucks out 963 horsepower (978 metric hp). All-wheel drive helps put that power to ground without vaporizing the tires.

The car's creator says it will do 0 to 62 mph in 3.0 seconds, go from 62 mph to 124 mph in 3.7 seconds, and reach a top speed of 196 mph. That puts this little Mitsubishi in supercar territory.

While there are some visual modifications--including a rear spoiler and larger front air intake--the car still looks fairly stock, which could be the best, or the worst, part, depending on your perspective.
