Hasegawa 1/24 71 Dodge Colt Chall Gto Model Kit

The 1971 Dodge Colt, sold as the Mitsubishi Galant GTO in Japan, was an early example of the Chrysler-Mitsubishi partnership that would define both companies for decades. The Galant GTO featured a muscular fastback body inspired by American muscle cars, powered by the Saturn 1.6-liter engine. In the US market, Dodge dealers sold it as the Colt, introducing American buyers to Japanese engineering. The GTO designation—shared with Pontiac's iconic muscle car—spoke to Mitsubishi's ambition to compete directly with American performance. Hasegawa captures the aggressive fastback design that blended Japanese and American automotive culture.
