SUZUKI SWIFT


A new type of compact cars. A new philosophy and new beginnings.

Year 2005 Geneva Motor Show provides an ideal opportunity to introduce our two new compact Swift, as well as our brand fresh new philosophy, chosen to call we'fve 'gWay Life' h! Like all our products have been designed Swift to give a driving experience of the original charm throughout the world.
Our new philosophy of focusing on bringing new solutions and better transportation to customers, offering them fun, useful products that are relevant to them now, thus improving their everyday lives. We are also committed to create a car that will generate true customer satisfaction. Our car easy to drive, which means that anyone can easily take out and enjoy a performance that will have.

It includes a global new Swift '@-oriented approach to product development and manufacturing. Since the beginning of the development program, a dedicated team of Suzuki designers and engineers worked closely with European automotive professionals and automotive enthusiasts in the pursuit of common Suzuki'fs best car ever compact.
That new Swift moreeye-catching, morespacious, more refined, more user-friendly, and far more fun to drive than anything in the compact car category. And gives an interesting glimpse of new ideas and design approaches that will shape Suzuki models in years to come. As part of the global strategy of Suzuki, the Swift will be manufactured in Hungary, Japan, China and India.


Radical innovation: The story behind the new Suzuki Swift

Suzuki recently started a new program of radical innovation: a mission which aims to reaffirm and strengthen our position as an innovator Suzuki'fs compact-car; mission destined to produce the vehicle to realize the unique DNA of a company that not only the world leader in compact car but also the dominant force in the world of motorcycles.

automotive public'fs first glance the new way forward Suzuki'fs come at the Paris Motor Show 2002, in which Suzuki launched the Concept-S, a, fresh-inspired rally car concept that reflects the influence of two-and four-wheel Suzuki'fs and activities combines the benefits of racing Suzuki'fs descent with advanced technology features.

Next comes the new Suzuki'fs program is S2-concept, an open sports car that Suzuki developed the best in new-model concept into shape with a more relaxed personality. Unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2003, Concept-S2 is a dimension similar to the production of new generation vehicles in the direction that Suzuki continues to work - a vehicle that will be known as the new Suzuki Swift.

Plans for the new Swift is formed around the same mindset entirely new: Whereas Japanese car development often focuses first on the needs of Japanese motorists, the designers and engineers assigned to the new Suzuki Swift focus first and foremost in Europe, the new Swift will be a Japanese car developed in Europe for today'fs global market.




designers first step is to set up base in Europe, where they assess the return Suzuki'fs concept car design and joined hands with European designers, who provide valuable insight European mindset. They lived in Europe for six months, continue to refine the design of the new Swift when they got inspiration from the landscape and the people of Europe. The result is an innovative design, sporty, and elegant with a genuine international appeal.
New Swift'fs Handling, too, reflects a clear European focus. The engineers developed a completely new chassis and perfected through the test track and road-testing programs throughout Europe. At each step, they incorporated feedback from European car enthusiasts. The result is handling that meet the most exacting European motorists.

A head-turning fusion of the dynamics and stability

Suzuki'fs exciting new direction in car design that directly visible in the external styling of the new Swift. Unlike many vehicles styling monoform adopted in the supermini category, the new Swift has a 1.5-box style that communicates a clear sense of dynamism and substantiality; has consistently earned praise among European motorists who works with design programs.

Front face distinctive headlamps combine sporty clear and wide airdam that are not only pressing the front-end lift but also looks dynamic and stylish. And attitudes that convey a strong sense of stability created by the large-diameter wheels positioned near the extreme corners of the body and by a bold contoured shoulder lines that run from front to rear lamp body.

A greenhouse gives the upper half of the cover body Swift'fs new look, bold sporty cabin and helped inspire the emergence of robustness. Cover design of the greenhouse is equipped with a black finish on B-and A-pillar for the display, even more integrated smarter.
On the new Swift, it is clear that the shoulder line is equipped with lights bold wheel arches and side sills that further emphasize the strength and stability car'fs. Shoulder line flows into the rear combination lamps that curve forward to meet them at the rear wheels, creating a unique look solid, sporty, and well integrated.

And in the back of a very, very substantial-looking, expressive style truck with a bumper meet, big wide rear that forms a strong visual base for the bottom of the body. At the top of the truck, the trailing edge roof'fs formed as a spoiler - a design not only looks sporty and improve aerodynamic performance but also realize valuable 1kg weight saving over conventional plastic bolt-on spoiler.

Overall effect, which can be further enhanced by the optional 15-inch, five-spoke aluminum wheels, is to see stability and a sense that the new Swift is packed with energy and ready to deliver a dynamic drive.

The cockpit is designed for genuine driving pleasure

Inside the new Swift, the driver enjoys an environment that reflects the focus on style, sportiness and driving pleasure. View the cover of the glass surface was continued in the cabin design, creating not only look chic, but also feelings of involvement with the car and trust in it. Sporty features including a three-spoke steering wheel, a shift key ball, and the illuminated ring around the speedometer to make driving more fun.
The top of the instrument panel is positioned optimally low to give the driver a clear view forward. This means the driver enjoys a sense of openness and discover new Swift easy to place accurately on the road. Overall result is confident, driving fun with a satisfying feeling of involvement.

Instrumentation that promotes easy, enjoyable driving includes, sporty easy to read triple-gauge instrument cluster where the tachometer, in a reflection of sportbike design, has marked the company was six o'fclock e0'f, where the eye falls naturally. This also includes centrally located information display that shows time, fuel consumption and outside temperature.

Audio and climate-control systems easy to operate thanks to optimally large, dial-type controls. For added convenience, an audio system can also be operated using the optional steering-wheel-mounted controls.

Front seats offer superior support and continued, and each has a variety of slide fore-back of the class-leading 240mm. Plus, the seat height adjuster driver'fs has a range of up-down 30mm. A tilt-adjustable steering column further to accommodate every rider. Even a relatively small person can easily find the optimal sitting position for confident driving and easy operation of the pedals.

And in all regions driver'fs, gaps and differences in elevation between trim pieces tight and accurate, contributing to a sense of overall improvement and quality.

Efficient, enjoyable performance for every driving situation

For efficient, enjoyable performance that meets every need driver'fs, the new Swift comes with three engine options in a comprehensive enhanced (1.3-liter gasoline engine M13A, M15A petrol engine 1.5-liter and 1.3 liter diesel engine DDiS) and with transmission choices (five-speed manual, manual five-speed automatic transmission and four-speed automatic).

Each machine is set with an emphasis on performance at low speed and mid-range (important in urban driving situations and on winding country road) and incorporating various advanced technologies.

key technology of the gasoline engine includes variable valve timing (used with 1.5-liter gasoline engine), which helps to maximize torque and power throughout the range of rotation. 1.3-liter diesel engine has a common-rail injection system of fuel for superior performance, emissions control and fuel efficiency. This breathing through intercooled turbocharger, which helped to create the curve, a strong flat torque with smooth response even at low engine speeds.
Transmission Suzuki'fs also reflect a focus on driving pleasure. The main features are as follows:
Five-speed manual transmission (used with gasoline engines and DDiS) has a short-stroke design was updated with comprehensively enhanced shift linkages that give the company, quick shift feel.

And Manual five-speed automatic transmission (use with 1.3-liter gasoline engine) offers both automatic and manual benefits shift for easy shifting, fuel-efficient driving. Its automatic mode the driver has two settings that can be selected: Economy mode, which emphasizes fuel economy, and the normal mode, which emphasizes drivability. Automatic four-speed transmission (used with 1.5-liter gasoline engine) has a gated shift lever that allows the driver to shift gear to enjoy the added excitement. This feature is common among sports saloons and coupes but rarely seen in the supermini category.

Understood the new system to increase the next generation and handling

With the new Swift, chassis engineers Suzuki'fs targeted dynamic driving experience together with a trip that feels sophisticated and comfortable. They achieve this balance is difficult to integrate the body with a new platform developed specifically for chassis system combines understood.

The new platform was developed to provide new Swift with the tread width (front: 1470mm, rear: 1480mm), large overall width (1690 mm), and a long wheelbase (2380 mm). These dimensions not only benefit interior spaciousness, but also helps to activate the superior on-road stability and comfort.

Front suspension has a new design where the lower arm, steering gearbox, engine mounting and attached to the rear suspension subframe. This design provides increased stiffness significantly higher, which translates into lower road noise and feel stronger than stability.

That new Swift breaks new ground with further equipped with a torsion-beam rear suspension, which gives a superior combination of handling stability and ride comfort. One specific benefit of the new arrangements unsprung weight low, allowing the camber angle and toe-in which will be effectively controlled for accurate and predictable handling. Another plus is the space-efficient layout that allows, low-floor flat luggage-area.

To further enhance the driving experience, the system-assisted power steering has a newly developed steering gearbox that gives a more direct feel. And to further controllability, improved braking system has a design in which increased caliper stiffness and other enhancements sure to stop providing power.

Class-leading protection from collision and theft

Peace of mind for users has always been a Suzuki main priority, so that the new Swift combines the latest technology for safety and security. Develop a body from scratch allows engineering teams to achieve extraordinary structure crashworthy; one in which high-tensile steel and tailored blank is used extensively to ensure a light and strength. It also allows the team to adopt a structure (particularly in the caps, fenders, wipers, and front bumper) that helps protect pedestrians in case of contact.

In the cabin, the user is more shielded from impact forces by a collapsible steering column, brake foot-injury-mitigation and clutch pedals, front seatbelt pretensioners and force limiters, energy-absorbing trim, front airbags, and side and curtain airbags are available.

To help ensure that no-advanced passive safety technology ever needed, the new Swift combining various active safety technologies include four-wheel anti-lock braking systems, brake-force distribution system electronics, and brake-assist function, which together help the driver avoid hazards .

And to give users even greater peace of mind, protection from theft model is realized by the system started without a key (without key unlocking this permission, engine startup, and locking), immobilizer, and locked the door last Suzuki'fs tamper-resistant.

Cleverly arranged space for daily convenience

Despite the new Swift has a dimension that makes it easy to manage on the road, use an intelligent interior space realizes exceptional people-and luggage-carrying flexibility.
With all seats in use, luggage area has a low capacity 213L (VDA). Luggage area is tall enough to allow a large suitcase to be loaded vertically. Plus, luggage-area floor is smooth and flat thanks to the torsion-beam rear suspension is a new adoption.
In a higher value, the rear seats have a 40/60-split design and tumble-folding function so it can be configured to create a surface, extended flat trunk on each side. a lower value has a rear bench-type seats with a single-folding seatback can also be used to create more trunk space. The tailgate can be opened electrically by pressing a button, making loading easier when user'fs hands full with suitcases.
For further convenience, storage space for small, personal items around the cabin. They include compartment in the instrument panel, glove box, front and rear bottle holders, seatback pocket, front door pockets (large enough for A4-size road atlases), and a tray under the front passenger seat.

Body color styles

That's the new Swift is available in 11 colors styled body. Ten of the new body color was developed using water-based paints are environmentally friendly. Every color of the body is the perfect complement for new Swift'fs interesting contours and proportions.

An interesting promotional worldwide

TVCF uses young soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo a world-class handling to promote all-new Suzuki Swift'fs agile and dynamic performance. The TVCF Swift'fs agile handling features such as the pursuit of football through the city streets. Displaying perfect footwork of world-class soccer player, nimble Swift is also a world-class players.

Concept Car : Galpin Auto Sports unveils radical Scythe


Remember the mysterious Mustang-based "Project B" concept car that we spied at Galpin Auto Sports last month? The completed version was unveiled this past weekend during a celebrity-packed party at the shop's Southern California facility. We were spot-on with the specs of the car, including the twin-supercharged 5.0L V8 that is pushing out a claimed 1005 horsepower and the massive 16.5-inch Wilwood disc brakes. The Scythe also features unique composite body panels, a wrap-around pillarless glass cockpit, reverse opening vertical doors, and a voice-controlled computer that can offer up weather, traffic, sports, and more through a 3G network connection. Full details on the car can be found in the press release after the jump, and we'll be sure to bring you more photos when we see the car at SEMA in just a few weeks.

PRESS RELEASE:
Most custom shops have a backyard BBQ for friends when they want to show off a new car. Galpin Auto Sports (GAS) in Van Nuys, California took that concept to a new level on Saturday, October 18, when it debuted one of the most radical custom show cars of the modern era to a packed house of automotive icons, celebrities and media. While smoke rose from the floor and a massive twin supercharged engine crackled in the background, GAS president Beau Boeckmann unveiled Scythe, a one-of-a-kind machine packed with the most advanced onboard technology ever showcased in an automotive application. Other highlights from the evening included the unveiling of Ed "Big Daddy" Roth's long-lost Orbitron show car, a charity silent auction with proceeds going to three local charities and performances by a variety of top-tier rap and rock stars culminating in an all-star jam session between Ozzy Osbourne and members of Guns N' Roses, The Cult, Jane's Addiction and more.
"With Scythe, we set out to showcase all of our unique fabrication abilities here at GAS," Boeckmann says. "From the hand-made composite body and voice-activated onboard computer system, to the twin-supercharged 1,005 horsepower engine, this car was built to make a statement. In the 1950's and '60s, show cars were meant to shock and amaze people, and we wanted the same effect from Scythe but with a high-tech twist. This isn't a hollow concept car, it's a fully functional, incredibly fast and usable machine with a talking onboard computer and over a thousand horsepower running on methanol."
Scythe exemplifies the melding of old-world coachbuilding techniques and cutting-edge digital technology. The GAS team started with a proven performance platform, a 2008 Ford Mustang GT Convertible. After the body panels were removed, the unibody structure was covered in clay, which was sculpted to match renderings drawn by famed Kustom Kulture icon Ed "Newt" Newton. Molds were pulled from the clay sculpture, and composite body panels were formed and fitted to the Mustang pan. Reverse opening vertical doors, a wrap-around pillarless glass cockpit with no B- or C-pillars and custom headlights and taillights surrounded by hand-made aluminum trim are the highlights of the unique design.
The interior features some of the most sophisticated technology ever installed in a vehicle. Scythe features an onboard Shuttle XPC computer that manages every function of the car and is controlled entirely by voice commands. Simply speak to the electronic personal assistant in your own words and through a digital uplink to a 3G network Scythe will provide real-time weather, traffic, sports, stock market and news information and maintain your daily calendar. Other onboard electronics include flush mounted exterior cameras that offer 24-hour monitoring via cell phone or internet and a voice-activated iPod compatible JL Audio 5.1 Surround Sound system allows the driver to choose artist, song or music type verbally.
Scythe also offers unparalleled power and performance. Hand-built by GAS, the twin Magnuson supercharged 5.0L racing engine with custom ported 24-valve SOHC cylinder heads pump out up to 1,005 horsepower. A GAS custom fabricated intake manifold, custom performance grind camshafts and a custom electronic shifter complete the powertrain of this one of a kind vehicle. Other performance advances include a custom Air Ride Technologies suspension system by GAS and an onboard CPU which constantly adjusts ride height for maximum performance. Dual driving positions with retractable motorized steering wheels allows for left and ride side driving control of the vehicle and custom GAS designed brakes using Wilwood 16.5" rotors and 6-piston calipers on all four corners make Scythe stop on a dime.

Bike Meets Car in Three-Wheeled Can-Am Spyder


Ostensibly opening up the pleasures of the motorcycling to would-be riders who, for any or all of a variety of reasons related to fear of falling over, haven't taken the plunge, the slightly odd new Can-Am Spyder promises to keep things upright by putting three wheels on the ground instead of two. The latest offering from Bombardier Recreational Products, the company that gave the world the truly revolutionary Ski-Doo in the late 1950s and the similarly significant Sea-Doo in the 1970s, the Can-Am Spyder merges the drivetrain of a motorcycle with the front end of a sports car to create something, well, different. The look is undeniably novel, and with 106 horsepower from a 998-cc V-twin, it offers performance that, while a far cry from even a low-end sport bike, is still on par with, say, a Porsche 911 (which isn't bad at all). Sixty miles per hour arrives in about 4.5 seconds, and the Spyder will scoot to an electronically limited 110 mph. It's on sale now, priced at $14,999. A manually actuated five-speed sequential transmission is standard; an electronically controlled version will add $1500. Specify yellow paint instead of the standard silver for an extra $300.
We love the concept of a motorized trike, although we'd prefer one that came at the idea from more of an automotive perspective, like the spectacular Renault 20Cup concept from a couple of years ago. The Can-Am Spyder is not without its charms, but it seems to us that for five or six grand more, a Mazda MX-5 Miata or a Pontiac Solstice makes vastly more sense — no helmet required.

Selective Models of Sports Cars (3)

Selective Models of Sports Cars (3)

Do you like this model of sports car produced by Chrysler? Please read this paragraph before answer the question! Chrysler has been through a lot recently, including an ad campaign that touted the company’s German engineering prowess, three CEOs, and two ownership groups. Now that the company is private, Chrysler would like to reinvent itself as an American automaker. While the Pentistar has canceled the hideous and un-American looking Imperial, the Auburn Hills, MI-based company does have an all-American concept that would help improve the company’s image. The Dodge Demon combines aggressive, Viper-like styling and MX-5 proportions with the idea of charging a paltry $15,000 for the right of ownership.

This red model of diesel/hybrid from Citroen is powered by a 205 hp diesel V6 engine on the front wheels, two electric motors on the rear wheels, and does 0 to 60mph in 6.2 seconds.


This black model of sports car is called Acura ‘Advanced Sports Car Concept’, which made its debut at the 2007 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The concept provides a glimpse at the “next generation Acura exotic sports car”. Honda’s been dragging its feet with sports car products, so it’s good to see they’ve been doing something in the background.
