Suzuki Swift S-Concept (2011) at the 2011 Geneva motor show

Suzuki has unveiled a warmed-up version of its Swift supermini at the 2011 Geneva motor show. The new Swift S-Concept is an indication of the forthcoming Swift Sport hot hatch.

Although a concept, it won’t take a rocket scientist to work out the Swift S-Concept is very close to the production car. Technical details are still scant, but we do know that the production version of this car will be powered by a naturally aspirated 1.6-litre four cylinder engine. Expect to see the production car at the 2011 Frankfurt motor show, will UK sales commencing shortly afterwards. There’s a high-riding roof spoiler visible at the back, while the front end does a mini-Testarossa with all those strakes pepping up the front apron.

Check out the revised Splash with the more powerful 93bhp 1.2 VVT engine snaffled from the Swift supermini. Despite a power hike, emissions tumble to 119g/km and economy climbs to 55.4mpg.
