Well the new and improved road going Go-kart features a 1.6 litre engine buzzing all of its 100kw all the way to the red-line @ 7000 revs and improving 0-100 time to 8.7 secs.
Power is transmitted to the road via a six-speed manual gearbox (which is what we wanted before) connected to the front wheels. No fancy fancy Limited slip double wishbone yara yara here just good old school simple mechanics like a Go-kart.
Well yeah Go-karts are rear driven but then again what’s wrong with front drive. Apart from understeer you can get, which is not so much of a problem here unless you are a hooligan and want to drive up the pavement.
The entire suspension has been improved over the previous generation that was already exciting enough, making steering as precise as you sticking your favourite beverage into your mouth... So all you got to do is errr, aim and drive.
Exterior has been given the “Swift S-concept” treatment but lacks the funky rear spoiler. Never the less it still looks like it should. Interior has all the electric controls you could have and want to finger wile stuck in traffic because you will be having too much fun driving to do anything else.
So Suzuki, we are waiting to see this on your shelf’s...
