Samurai Design new Suzuki Swift for Italy

From Paultan.org

Italians tired of the Tricolore on a Fiat can now opt for some Japanese flavour. Suzuki has a limited edition version of its Swift supermini and it’s called Samurai Design. It’s purely a styling package, without any changes under the rounder edged skin of the current Swift, which is still yet to be introduced here.
Based on the five-door Swift, the Samurai Design consists of red paint and a Rising Sun flag on the roof. Like on the MINI, that same design is repeated wing mirror caps. A white stripe runs length of the car’s sides and there are special logos on the C pillar, which is blacked out here.
There’s no extra charge for the Samurai Design, so it’s first come first serve. More pics after the jump.

Suzuki Concept S in Geneva Motor Show

Here comes the real car photos of Suzuki Concept S in Geneva Motor Show.
From: World Car Fans

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.

Suzuki S-Concept previews upcoming Swift Sport

From Paultan.org

This is the Suzuki S-Concept that was unveiled at Geneva. It doesn’t take a genius to predict that it’s a preview of the upcoming Swift Sport, the hot version of Suzuki’s latest supermini that was launched mid last year. They didn’t release any specs or info on what’s planned under the skin, so we can only speculate on the looks.

From one of the more subtle and classy sport hatchbacks around, the next Swift Sport takes on an attention hungry, over the top persona, if what we see here translates to production wholesale. For a junior hot hatch that’s expected to get an upgraded version of the M16A 1.6-litre NA engine (125 hp in current car), it has the bodywork to make one expect at least 200 hp. Perhaps Suzuki’s focus groups asked for a more overtly sporting car?

The elongated front headlamps of the new Swift gets a vertical twin projector layout; below them are big fog lamps with triple claws for extra drama. The grille is a single black honeycomb unit, not unlike the Mk5 Golf GTI, with a silver bar breaking it up in the middle.
On the side, there are vents behind the front wheel arch and on the side sills, painted in contrasting colour. The rear is very aggressive looking with that big spoiler and prominent diffuser style rear bumper with integrated exhaust pipes. There are two more vertical slats on the bumper.

Inside, the S-Concept adds on metal pedals, gloss black trim and a steering wheel with perforated leather and a centre marker, Renault Sport style. Even the Recaros look similar to those found in the Megane RS 250. Add in the fact that yellow is the signature colour for both Swift Sport and Renault Sport, and you’ll spot some inspiration here and there. In any case it’s understandable, since the guys from Dieppe make some of the best hot hatches one can buy today.

The new third-generation Suzuki Swift has bagged the Automotive Researchers and Journalists Conference of Japan (RJC) 2011 Japanese Car Of The Year award. The car won in the domestic category with a score of 288 points, ahead of Nissan’s March at 258 and Honda’s Fit Hybrid, which scored 215 points, and in awarding it the title, judges praised the Swift’s excellent interior quality as well as its driving stability and comfort, among other things.

It’s the second RJC Japanese COTY achievement for the Swift, with the previous incarnation winning the prize in 2006. The RJC is a non-profit organisation established in 1990, and made up of Japan-based automotive critics and journalists. Each year, the organisation bestows Car of The Year awards for both Japanese and import models, as well as for the Technology of The Year.

Incidentally, the Volkswagen Polo won the Import COTY title with 294 points, finishing ahead of the Citroen C3, which managed 223 points, and the winner for the technology award was Subaru’s EyeSight driving assistance system as found in the Legacy.
