Indonesian rendering specialist, Adrians Ramadhani
has created a performance-oriented version of the Maruti Ignis. Note that
neither Maruti-Suzuki nor Suzuki Motor plans to put an Ignis ‘Sport’ into
production yet.
The changes made are subtle but add a dynamic look
to Ignis’ quirky styling. The rendered model features a black front lip
spoiler, side skirts, black ORVM caps, roof spoiler, and graphics across the
lower portion of the profile. Its height also seems to be shortened and sits on
large gun metal rims wrapped with low profile tires.
If Maruti were to work on a sportier variant of the
Ignis, a likely engine to be fitted is the 1.0L Boosterjet motor from the
Baleno RS, which produces 100 hp at 5,500 rpm and 150 Nm of torque
between 1,700 rpm – 4,500 rpm. The Boosterjet motor would be paired to a 5-speed
manual gearbox, while the suspension setup can be lowered and stiffened for
that hot hatch driving dynamics.
Suzuki has been choosy about introducing ‘Sport’
variants. Models except the Swift and Vitara don’t have a go-faster variant in
the global market.
