EXCEPT RALLIART Version-R
The New COLT featuring "exciting feeling and free-

Version-R has acquired users of the competitors and
the younger generation, and has improved the over
-
all image of the COLT series by appealing to the
sport-oriented users as the only high-powered turbo
-
charger vehicle in the class.
