Suzuki Affords us a Peek Into its Future with New S-Cross Concept, Enters Production in 2013

Friday, September 28, 2012


The Suzuki stand at the Paris Salon showcased a new concept vehicle named the S-Cross, and mind you, this isn't just another one of those show-grabbers as it hints at a production model that will go on sale sooner than you think.

"The new crossover will be the first in an ambitious programme of annual European model launches, which Suzuki will be starting in 2013," the Japanese carmaker said in a statement.

That Ought to Buff Right Out: Suzuki Vitara Towing Fail [Updated with New Videos]

Saturday, July 21, 2012


It's in the human nature to find someone to blame for an accident, or two in this case, as after the Suzuki Vitara Mk1 (evidently) suffered a first crash, the final blow came when a group of men were trying to tow it up a hill.

We can only speculate what when wrong or what they could have done to prevent it – for example, we don't know if they had pulled the emergency brake and set the shifter in gear or whether they had placed any rocks under the front tires, but the result is that the Vitara rolled down the hill to its death.

The Mother of All Extreme Cambers Can Actually Roll…Sort Of

Saturday, June 30, 2012


In the Land of the Rising Sun, there is a specific crowd that likes its cars to ride on wheels with an insane negative camber - remember this Toyota Celica?

Naturally, some owners take this fad more seriously than others do with ridiculously looking results that will leave you scratching your head.

Though you wouldn't believe it just by looking at it, but this Kei car, which we believe to be a 1990s Suzuki Alto Works, can actually move, despite its seemingly serious disability.

Motorcyclist on a Suzuki Hayabusa Turbo Tries to Outwit Cops

Friday, June 8, 2012


Before we give you as short description of what's going on here, let us note that like the video poster points out, we do not promote this kind behavior because aside from the obvious (um, that would be breaking the law...), you could end up hurting yourself and/or another person on the road.

The motorcyclist appearing in this video shot from inside a car on the highway, is said to be riding a very powerful and evidently, extremely fast, Suzuki Hayabusa Turbo.

Dissatisfied Nissan Customer Plows Showroom with a Suzuki Grand Vitara in Russia!

Tuesday, April 10, 2012


There's no doubt we've all experienced a minor meltdown moment while dealing with car repair shops at one point or another, but for some reason, one man decided to take his frustration to a whole new level when he literally destroyed an entire showroom!

It all happened this past Saturday at an official Nissan dealership in Moscow, Russia, with the entire scene being captured on film by a surveillance camera located inside the building.

We managed to find the preliminary Russian police report, which says the unnamed man left his car for repair on April 1, and came to pick it up on April 7.

"Showroom staff reported that the car is repaired, but after waiting several hours, the car owner did not see it," reads the (translated) report.

Flamethrowing Suzuki Hayabusa Comes Equipped with an F14-Sourced Jet Turbine Engine!

Thursday, February 16, 2012


How do you make the world's fastest motorcycle, the iconic Suzuki Hayabusa, even faster – at least in theory? We assume the more technically inclined will each have a different answer to that question, but for Tony Pandolfo from Orlando, Florida, there's nothing better than a…jet-sourced turbine engine.

To be more precise, the 54-year old engineer fitted the Hayabusa with an AlliedSignal jet fuel starter (JFS) sourced from an early-model F-14 jet fighter! The JFS runs on K2 Kerosene or Jet A fuel and comes complete with an afterburner.

The only official figure released by Pandolfo on his website is the jet starter's peak torque of 300 lb-ft – remember, we're talking about a motorcycle and not a pickup truck…

In an interview with the Daily Mail, Pandoflo told the newspaper that he actually turned the jet unit's power down.

Polish Woman Fails Miserably in Driving Lesson, but was it Really her Fault?

Saturday, February 11, 2012


Taking your first driving lessons is kinda like taking your first baby steps; it can be a nerve-wracking experience and you're bound to make mistakes. However, some mistakes can be more costly and far more dangerous than others...

A woman from Częstochowa, Poland, got herself into a life-threatening situation during a driving lesson in an enclosed area when she accidentally stepped on the gas pedal instead of the brake driving the Suzuki Swift hatchback right into a concrete barrier and out to a main freeway!

Luckily, there were no cars crossing the road at the time.

Suzuki Airs Final Version of its Super Bowl "Sled" Ad with New Song from 50 Cent

Thursday, February 2, 2012


Last weekend, we showed you Suzuki's new Super Bowl commercial for the Kizashi sedan title "Sled". As it turns out, it wasn't the final version that will air during the big game on Sunday, February 5, but a preview clip with music from Ben Kahle.

However, the only change made to the commercial is the addition of rapper 50 Cent's "Movin' On Up" song. Other than that, it's the same ad showing an Eskimo swapping his dog sled for a Kizashi all-wheel drive saloon.

Who let the Dogs in? Suzuki Did for its 2012 Super Bowl Commercial

Saturday, January 28, 2012


Given Americas love for man's best friend, it's a pretty safe bet that you'll get at least some attention with a commercial starring dogs.

Released on YouTube before it hits the television airwaves on February 5 during the big game, Suzuki's 2012 Super Bowl ad is entitled "Sled" and it features an Eskimo who trades in his sled (but not his four-legged crew) for an all-wheel drive Kizashi mid-size sedan.

Suzuki Lifts the Covers off New XA ALPHA Small Crossover at New Delhi Auto Show [with Video]

Thursday, January 5, 2012


We were right to assume that Maruti Suzuki would present an off-road concept at this week's Auto Expo 2012 in New Delhi, but the XA ALPHA doesn't appear to preview a replacement for the Jimny 4x4 (or at least not directly) as it leans more towards the crossover segment being based on the platform architecture of the Swift supermini.

Designed in cooperation with Suzuki's Indian partner Maruti, the XA ALPHA borrows several styling cues from the Swift such as the profile window line and the blacked out A-pillars.

The five-door model measures 4 meters in length, which makes it a little bit longer than the current Swift (3,850mm long).

Motorcycle Wheelie Goes Terribly Wrong – or Why You Should Always Keep a Distance from Amateur Stunts…

Thursday, September 8, 2011


Random stunt displays may capture people's interest but there is a very good reason why organizers at professional events keep the crowd back at a safe distance from the performer(s).

The video you're about to watch shows a motorcyclists attempting a wheelie in what is said to be a Suzuki GSX-R when he suddenly loses control and ends up smashing the bike in the face of two by standers…

VIDEOS: “Monster” Tajima Breaks 10 Min Record at Pikes Peak with 910-hp Suzuki SX4

Tuesday, June 28, 2011


Nobuhiro “Monster” Tajima has broken his own record at this year’s Pikes Peak Hill Climb, completing the 12.42-mile (19.9 km) “Race to the Clouds” in just 9:51.278, demolishing the 10:1.408 time he set four years ago.

“Monster” Tajima, who has being racing at Pikes Peak every year since 1988, accomplished this extraordinary feat driving an extremely modified Suzuki SX4 with 910-horses. Second fastest was Rhys Millen in the modified Hyundai PM580, with a time of 10:09.242.

Insane, Tire-Shredding Suzuki Might Boy Mini Ute with LS1-V8 [Video]

Thursday, April 14, 2011


Come on, admit it, tire-smoking burnouts are a blast to watch. Even more so when the vehicle in question is a Japanese kei car stuffed with a GM-sourced LS1 V8. Enter the world of the Curupt, a wildly modified Suzuki Might Boy that comes to us from the land of Down Under.

Largely unknown to most of the world, the Suzuki Mighty Boy is a toy-sized pickup truck-style model from the glorious 1980s that was sold in Japan as well as Australia and Cyprus between 1985 and 1988. Despite its promising name, the fact that it was based on the Giugiaro-designed Suzuki Curve kei car meant the Mighty Boy was anything but ‘mighty’ as power came from a puny 0.5-liter three-cylinder engine delivering around 28 ponies.

Super Bowl Video: Suzuki Kizashi Chased by Evil Snowmen

Friday, February 4, 2011


With the Super Bowl XLV rumored to reach out to a
record number of viewers this year, it’s no surprise that automakers are queuing up to take a shot at convincing potential customers to buy their products.

Suzuki’s focus will be on the Kizashi sedan, featured in a TV spot called “Wicked Weather”. The clip shows the all-wheel drive version as it’s being chased by a pack of evil, almost-zombie-like snowmen. While it sounds like an idea uttered in at an Amsterdam café, the CGI is convincing and the Japanese sedan seems to cope well with the snowy roads. Hit the jump to see the video.

VIDEO: Suzuki Pits Kizashi Against Mercedes C-Class, Audi A4 and Volvo S40 in New Ads

Thursday, December 23, 2010


Even though Suzuki had high hopes for the new Kizashi, sales of the sedan model haven't exactly blown the socks out of anyone this year. In fact, in the U.S
., Suzuki has only managed to deliver a mere 5,269 units of the four-door saloon through November. Do the math and that comes to under 500 cars a month.

But the Japanese automaker isn't about to throw in the towel, not just yet. Marking one of its largest advertising campaigns in years, Suzuki has launched an ambition set of edgy ads pitting the Kizashi against similar sized models in the luxury segment such as the Mercedes-Benz C350, Audi A4 and the Volvo S40.

New 2011 Suzuki Swift Snagged on Film, Could Debut in Paris This Year

Thursday, June 3, 2010


Having presented the new Kizashi sedan, Suzuki is now focused on finishing the development of the new generation of the Swift supermini that was spied here on film during testing in and around the Nurburgring race track.

Riding on a new platform, the 2011 Swift will be slightly bigger than today's model but it will maintain its MINI-like design feel and shape. The most notable styling changes (or at least those that can be seen on the camouflaged cars) concern the more prominent and significantly larger headlamps and tail lights.

Video: 2009 Suzuki Alto Mini

Monday, October 6, 2008

Suzuki performed the global debut of its all-new Alto mini car at the Paris show. If you were expecting to see a production version of the A-Star Concept that made a splash at last year’s Tokyo Show, then you’d definitely be disappointed with the outcome. At any rate, measuring just 3.5 meters in length the 2009 Alto is powered by the same three-cylinder 1.0-litre petrol engine that’s already in the Splash delivering an average fuel economy of 4.5 lt /100km or 52.2 mpg US. Watch the video after the jump. -Continued

Monday, March 24, 2008

As most of readers already know, the Suzuki Kizashi 3 Concept sports sedan made its worldwide debut at the New York Auto Show last week and we must say that it won our vote for its aggressive styling. According to Suzuki, the Kizashi 3 is a very close representation of the production model that is set to arrive in the market by 2010. Until then, we’ll have to be content with the image gallery from the NY Show floor and Suzuki’s official, animated video of the concept. –Video after the jump
