With more power, a reworked chassis and a sportier
styling package, the Suzuki Swift Sport drives and looks better than the
vanilla Swift. The Swift Sport recently came under the scalpel of Kuhl Racing,
a Japan-based tuner that has come up with one of the first complete aero kits
for the performance-focused supermini.
At the front-end, the modified Suzuki Swift Sport
gets a bolder bumper with a more prominent front splitter with winglets on the
edges. The headlamps receive body-coloured 'eyebrows' for a sporty look. In the
side profile, the customised Swift Sport carries more prominent skirts. The
ride height is lowered for a sportier stance, and the original wheels and tires
have been replaced with custom alloys that are shod with wider rubber.
The rear-end features an updated bumper with a
massive rear diffuser. The faux-carbon housing for the dual tailpipes is a neat
touch. The Suzuki insignias have been replaced with Kuhl Racing logos. For now,
the customizer has left the interior untouched. Moreover, other than the
addition of a sports exhaust, and the lowering of the suspension, the hot-hatch
doesn't get performance dial-ups.
The Suzuki Swift Sport is powered by a 1.4-litre
Boosterjet turbocharged petrol engine that packs a generous 140 PS and 230 Nm.
The motor comes mated to a 6-speed manual transmission that sends power to the
front wheels. The most potent production-spec Swift can hit 100 kmph from
standstill in just 8.1 seconds and has a claimed top speed of 210 km/h.
