New Suzuki hot hatch

The new Suzuki Swift Sport debuts in Frankfurt next month.

Suzuki will take the wraps off of its all-new 135hp Swift Sport at the Frankfurt motor show next month.

The Swift Sport will come with a 1.6-litre petrol engine packing 135hp and 160Nm of torque. No word on performance figures as yet from Suzuki, but the car will come with a six-speed manual gearbox.

Suzuki says the Swift Sport's handling promises much fun thanks to front struts with internal rebound springs and a rear suspension design that is unique to the Sport.

Offered in three-door form, the Sport has alloy wheels, deeper front grille, side skirts and a rear spoiler. Inside, there are sports seats and the Swift Sport also comes with seven airbags and ESP traction control as standard.
