H Suzuki αποκάλυψε το Suzuki Swift S Concept στη Γενεύη, που δείχνει το πως θα μοιάζει το Suzuki Swift Sport. Το πρωτότυπο είναι βαμμένο σε ένα έντονο κίτρινο χρώμα “Lightning Yellow Pearl”, ειδικό για την έκθεση. Φορά τον M16A 1600αρη κινητήρα που συνδυάζεται με ένα 6-τάχυτο χειροκίνητο κιβώτιο.

Το μήκος του ανέρχεται στα 3.890mm, 177mm μεγαλύτερο από το MINI Cooper S με τις υπόλοιπες διαστάσεις να είναι σχεδόν παρόμοιες με τον Cooper εκτός από το μεταξόνιο που είναι κατά 36mm μικρότερο (2.430mm). Φορά ζάντες 18″ και στο εσωτερικό του ξεχωρίζουν τα bucket καθίσματα, το νέο τιμόνι, ο νέος πίνακας οργάνων και τα carbon διακοσμητικά.
Δεν ανακοινώθηκαν περισσότερες λεπτομέρειες για το πότε να περιμένουμε την έκδοση παραγωγής του Suzuki Swift Sport, αλλά η λογική θέλει να παρουσιάζεται μέσα στο 2012.

Swift S-CONCEPT
The SWIFT S-CONCEPT is based on the new generation of the Swift. Suzuki created it by adding sporting flavour to the Swift’s stylish design in line with a “more sporty and exciting” theme.
Exterior design
The SWIFT S-CONCEPT is based on the new Swift, which Suzuki unveiled at the 2010 Paris Motor Show. It embodies the concept of creating a premium sport compact with uncompromised performance. The body is lower and 60mm wider than that of the standard Swift, so it has such a strong presence that it doesn’t seem as compact as it actually is. Dynamic-looking front and rear bumpers and a big rear spoiler evoke high levels of acceleration and power, and 18-inch wheels give a sense of solidity and stability. The headlamps and rear combination lamps have exclusive designs with high-tech accents.
Colours
Suzuki’s sporty DNA is reflected in a yellow body. Unique intensity and depth in the colour convey the excitement that’s one of Suzuki’s core values. Plus, the paint has a high lustre that looks different from different angles, conveying dynamism and speed. The yellow, black, and dark-grey metallic colour scheme for the exterior and interior was inspired by an athlete’s running shoes.
Interior appointments
The steering wheel, seats, and meter clusters have exclusive designs. The cabin layout provides space for four adults. Bucket seats in the front enhance the driver’s feeling of oneness with the car. Parts of the centre console are made of carbon fibre, which communicates a premium identity.
