Sorry BMChai didn't see your post earlier. Ori manual pearl white M15A? Tempting, but I'll wait to see if they bring in the Sport next year.
 
RHI that the Swift Sport or GTi woud be priced a tad below the 6 figure price... But got to wait and see loh....
 
Hopefully the rumour will be true. Its been way, way too long since one could buy a decent (read non-Proton) manual new hatch from an authorised dealer, for that price.

This means the Sport will have zero options i.e. no HIDs (which is a bit of a shame cos the factory HIDs look completely different), no Recaros and lower-end ICE. Just as well. Let the countdown begin!

I haven't been following the rumour and lies mill of late, but it looks like the GTI tag will be reserved for the turbo model.
 
here's a summary of changes from the base 1.5 Swift, from Suzuki NZ's press release:

The Swift Sport, which has just been announced in Japan, features a larger, more powerful engine, up rated brakes and suspension, and distinctive changes to both the exterior and interior.

Feed back from Suzuki's highly successful international rallying programme, including the Junior World Rally Championship has helped in the development of the new version.

The five-door Sport hatchback is expected to be a worthy successor to the previous generation Swift GTi that established a good reputation for class-leading performance in races and rallies as well as being a spirited performer for normal motoring.

A longer stroke version of the M15A double overhead camshaft engine used in the standard Swift boosts capacity from 1,490cm3 to 1,586cm3. Engine power increases by more than 20 percent while there is also an improvement in torque.

Changes to the variable inlet camshaft timing, including an increase in camshaft lift, stronger valve springs, and a higher compression ratio and a new free-flow exhaust system all contribute to the boost in power.

A special piston cooling jet has been added, an oil cooler becomes standard and the 5-speed gearbox is fitted with lower ratios to make best use of the changes to the multi-valve engine.

The transmission is also equipped with a new fluorocarbon coated shift cable and a larger diameter clutch copes with the extra power.

Acceleration is faster and the car's top speed rises to 200 km/h, making the Swift Sport a solid challenger in the warm and hot hatch category.

Engineers were concerned that an increase in engine power should run hand-in-glove with a boost to the braking system and sporting modifications to the suspension.

Larger front disc brakes are fitted, and the rear drums are replaced by disc brakes.

While the car's ride height remains unaltered, the Sport benefits from a 20 percent increase in roll stiffness, with firmer front springs and dampers. The rear suspension is also firmer to cope with the higher performance.
 
Yeah, can't wait. Was thinking about recon Jappy sports car, but I'm terrified of maintenance costs. So I need a warranty, for what its worth in Malaysia. Who knows, maybe Honda Malaysia might CBU in hot manual versions of the new Civic.

I recently heard that UMW is planning to CBU a bunch of "new" models i.e. Wish. No Celica or MR-S though. Typical.

yes, u r right. :yes:
 
I liike..... Would have been great if they had something like 160hp with an 8k redline on the engine... A longer stroke to increase displacement always means higher piston speed (or what people refer to as rod stroke ratio), and consequently lower redline. They are using what Honda has been doing for their high rev Dohc Vtec which is oil jet sprays on the pistons.
 
Let's see whether it can truly succeed the 'retired' MkII Swift GTi which is still somewhat of a cult car in a lot of places. little pocket rocket with the G13B...
