Suzuki swift s concept the last time the suzuki swift was sold in the us facebook wasn 39 t born yet britney spears was still the biggest name in
Suzuki Swift Concept S is based on a new generation of the Swift (Suzuki one of the world strategic models). Suzuki has created with the addition of taste Swift in an elegant, sporty design meets the "more sporty and exciting," the theme.
Suzuki Swift S-Concept is based on the new Swift, Suzuki, who unveiled at the Paris Salon in 2010. It is based on the idea of a compact sport luxury with uncompromised performance. Suzuki Swift S-Concept are lower and 60 mm wider than the standard Swift, so it has such strong presence that it does not seem as compact as it really is. A dynamic look and rear bumper and rear spoiler produce a large degree of acceleration and force, and 18-inch wheels give a feeling of strength and stability. The headlights and taillights have exclusive designs with high tech accents.
The DNA of Suzuki Sport is reflected in a corpus luteum. The intensity and depth of color only to convey the emotion that one of the fundamental values of the Suzuki. In addition, the paint has a high gloss that looks different from different angles, the transmission of power and speed. Yellow, black and dark regime of metallic gray exterior and the interior is inspired by an athlete's shoes.
The steering wheel, seats, gauges clusters have unique designs. The Suzuki Swift cabin-S Concept provides space for four adults. Front bucket seats Driver strengthen the sense of oneness with the car. Parts of the center console are made of carbon fiber, which communicates a primary identity.
The last time the Suzuki Swift was sold in the US, Facebook wasn’t born yet, Britney Spears was still the biggest name in music, and America just experienced the worst terrorist act on US soil.
Time sure has passed, hasn’t it?
While Suzuki has yet to reveal details as to whether the Swift will be making a comeback in the US, the Japanese automaker has nevertheless gone ahead with plans of introducing a concept version of the Swift at the Geneva Motor Show.
Called the Swift S-Concept, the car is being positioned as a sporty and aggressive coming-of-age model from the Japanese automaker’s Swift model. Judging from the teaser photos Suzuki released, the S-Concept does have some aesthetic attitude to it, especially with the feline-looking front fascia and the presence of what appears to be a rear roof spoiler.
Overall, the Swift S-Concept looks the part of what Suzuki is hoping to build on for their future models. It’s got style, class, and a bonafide mean streak, qualities that should bode well for what a production version could look like.
Suzuki is giving the 2011 Geneva Motor Show crowd a taste of what could be in store for a Sport model of their supermini car. The Suzuki Swift S-Concept is painted in a special exterior color, Lightning Pearl Yellow, made specifically for the auto show.
The car has the company's M16A 1.6-liter engine mated to a six-speed manual transmission, which goes well with its "more sporty and exciting look". At Paris, it was rumored that the next Swift Sport would get a 150-hp (112-kW / 152-PS), a 22 percent increase over the 2010 model.
Suzuki would not reveal specific details about the concept's engine output.
At 3,890mm (153.15 inches), the car is 177mm (6.97 inches) longer than the current MINI Cooper S. It is similarly wider and taller, but its 2,430mm (95.67 inches) wheelbase is 36mm (1.41 inches) shorter than the Cooper.
Riding on 18-inch wheels, the car now features a large rear wing, new headlights and rear lighting clusters. It has also been brought closer to the ground. Inside, designers included bucket seats, a new steering wheel, different instrumentation and carbon fiber trim.
No details were revealed about the next Suzuki Swift Sport's release date, but the production ready look of this car makes us think a 2012 model year debut is possible.
Here’s Suzuki’s yellow peril! The Swift Concept-S roared into the Geneva Motor Show, previewing a new firebreathing flagship for the supermini range.
Although the firm has suspended its motorsport activities, the Concept-S gets the yellow war paint that adorned its rally cars. The concept also has a beefy bodykit, including a front bumper with foglight surrounds which look like metallic claws.
A larger grille, similar to that of the Kizashi saloon, completes the revised nose. Deeper sills, front wing vents and 18-inch alloy wheels – hiding Brembo brakes – mark out the car in profile, while a large rear wing and diffuser complete the look.
The interior has been treated to a set of figure-hugging yellow sports seats which hold occupants tight when they’re cornering enthusiastically.
The Concept-S will spawn a sharp-driving production model that’s set to take on the Ford Fiesta S1600 and will feature Suzuki's M16A 1.6-litre engine which produces around 150bhp, mated to a six-speed manual transmission.
The Swift S-Concept has dimensions of 3.89 meters long, 1.755 meters wide, 1.475 meters high, with a wheelbase of 2.43 meters and a special ’Lightning Pearl Yellow’ paint finish that was specifically used for the Geneva Motor Show. Unlike the standard Swift, the S-Concept rides lower and is 60 mm wider than the base model. To make it look sporty and aggressive, Swift gave the S-Concept some aerodynamic upgrades, including new front and rear bumpers, remodeled headlights and rear lights with high-tech accents, a huge rear spoiler at the rear, and a set of 18" wheels to complete the exterior set-up. Over at the interior, the modifications continue with a set of two-tone bucket seats, redesigned meter clusters, a sporty steering wheel, and carbon fiber trims on the car’s center console, giving the Swift S-Concept a touch of luxury to go with the sporty package.
The Swift S-Concept is powered by Suzuki’s very own 1.6-liter M16A engine mated to a six-speed manual transmission. Oddly enough, the Japanese automaker didn’t release the official power output of the engine, opting only to give people like us the opportunity to speculate on it. So as far as our educated guesses are concerned, we think that the S-Concept’s engine output would be similar, or at least somewhere close to what the Swift R-Concept produces, which is somewhere around 155 horsepower.
The car is a concept vehicle so chances of scooping one up this soon is highly unlikely. But as is the case with concepts and auto shows of this magnitude, companies usually gauge the response the cars generate from the attendees, so if the car can receive a favorable response from the crowd, then it can help expedite the S-Concept’s move towards the production block.
There are plenty of challengers lining up to take a swipe at the Suzuki Swift with one of them being the highly-popular Ford Focus. Talking about powertrains, if the S-Concept’s performance output is anywhere near what the R-Concept produces, then it’s going to compete favorably with the Focus’ 2.0-liter four cylinder engine that produces 155 horsepower and 145 lb/ft of torque.
As far as aesthetics go, both cars offer a sharp and edgy package, although the carbon fiber trim on the Swift S-Concept could sit well with those looking for more than just an aggressive ’supermini’.
In the end, we have to take into consideration that the Swift S-Concept is nothing more than just that - a concept. So if you’re in the market now for one, you probably would need to settle for a standard Swift model. Otherwise, the Ford Focus is the right way to go, at least until the Swift S-Concept hits the production block - if and when that happens.
The Suzuki Swift is a genuinely good car, standing as something of an exception in Suzuki's lineup until recent additions like the SX4 and Kizashi came along. But calling it "swift" might be a bit of wishful thinking, if not a huge exaggeration. Enter the Swift S-Concept, which Suzuki has just presented at the Geneva Motor Show.
Few details have been released as to what has gone into the S-Concept and where it's going, but anyone can tell straight off the bat that it's a Swift taken to the extreme. In fact, it looks as close to an S2000-spec racer for the street as we've seen in some time, sporting 18-inch wheels, aerodynamic upgrades, Recaro racing buckets... the works.
The result looks good. Seriously good. Which is sadly probably more than we can say for its production prospects. But for the company behind such an eclipsing Pikes Peak campaign, with the right mechanical upgrades to match the sporting pretensions of its own styling, a hotter Swift could be just the ticket to inject some much-needed excitement into its range.
Check it out in the gallery of live images from the show floor below, and the stock shots in the gallery below that.
Suzuki was light on the details of the Swift S-Concept, with the Japanese manufacturer maintaining that it is a design study only.
The Swift S-Concept is powered by a 1.6-litre petrol engine like the current-generation Swift Sport, although Suzuki would not elaborate on power outputs or performance data.
Also featured is a six-speed manual transmission, a feature unique to the S-Concept and not currently found in either the current Swift Sport or the all-new standard Swift hatch.
Visually, the Swift S-Concept means business, although expect the production version of the Swift Sport to be tamed down considerably.
Highlights include the Kizashi-inspired plunging black grille, brushed metallic bumper inserts and claws around the chrome fog lights, red Brembo brake calipers screaming from behind 18-inch 15-spoke alloy wheels, large roof-mounted rear wing, rear diffuser with twin exhaust pipes, and smoky tinting on the headlights and taillights.
Inside, the Swift S-Concept features black and yellow leather Recaro sports seats; leather sports steering wheel and gearstick; metallic pedals and piano black dashboard surfaces.
Suzuki Australia’s Andrew Ellis said despite the unveiling of the Swift S-Concept, there was no more news about the new Swift Sport.
Mr Ellis confirmed the next generation sports model was under development and he expected it to follow a similar timeline to the previous Swift range in Australia.
The Swift was initially launched in Australia in February 2005 and the Sport joined the range in September 2006. The wait for the new Sport is expected to be slightly shorter, although don’t expect to get behind the wheel of one until at least early next year.
Mr Ellis said the Swift S-Concept was designed to gather feedback from the public that would help shape Suzuki’s future small sports models.
The previous generation Swift Sport currently sells alongside the updated Swift in Australia and sits at the top of the range despite offering an older package.
Mr Ellis said this had not deterred Australians from ordering it in their usual numbers.
