Rally Edition Crash in a Blink of the Eye


As much as we'd like to think otherwise, you never know what's waiting for you around the next corner, as from one moment to the other, your perfect drive can go from stunner to bummer.
During a recent rally in Poland, the driver of a Mitsubishi Colt hatchback was coming fast on a narrow road when some spectators loudly cheered for him the precise moment he passed by.
We don't know if the driver was distracted or not, but a split second later his ride came to an abrupt end when he whammed into a brick fence. Hop over the break to watch the video for yourself.

Mitsubishi MINICAB-MiEV

Leaving its problems with the Volkswagen Group momentarily on the side, Suzuki said on Tuesday that it is pursuing a deal with Mitsubishi regarding the supply of electric mini vehicles on an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) basis from February of next year.
If the two automakers reach an agreement, Mitsubishi will provide Suzuki with the new MINICAB-MiEV, a minicar-class light commercial electric van. The EV will be marketed under Suzuki's own brand name in Japan.
"The talks towards an agreement are intended to increase economies of scale for MMC [Mitsubishi Motors Corporation] which will in turn contribute to lower production costs and increased productivity," the company said in a statement.
The Mitsubishi MINICAB-MiEV was announced in April and is scheduled to go on sale in Japan before the end of the year
