Maruti Swift
Convertible (render)
Automotive
graphic artist, Theophilus Chin, has imagined the Suzuki Swift Sport with a
foldable roof top.
The Suzuki Swift somehow pulls off the cabriolet bodystyle. The exterior
appears to be retro and chic at the same time, and would be a cheaper
alternative to more expensive cabriolets such as the Mini Cooper Convertible or
VW Beetle Convertible.
The cabriolet
in the render is based on the Suzuki Swift Sport, which packs a 1.6L VVT petrol
engine capable of 136 PS and 160 Nm of torque. The Swift Sport takes 8.7
seconds to hit 100 km/h, while a cabriolet could take slightly longer, thanks
to the heavier roof-folding system. A 6-speed manual transmission and ALLGRIP
AWD is offered in the Swift Sport.
Hatchback
convertibles and three-door hatchbacks cater to niche markets, and are a dying
race. Should Suzuki ever introduce such a product, it would be the least
expensive hatchback cabriolet in the market.
