Details at last on the new Suzuki Swift Sport! Revealed with one lonely picture and no tech data, we worried the new Swift Sport might be hiding some lardy, tardy secrets. But no. It"s lighter and more powerful than the last car. We loved the last car. The new one ought to reach infatuation, if it lives up to these specsFirst off, it weighs just 970kg. That"s a massive 80kg saving versus the last Swift Sport, which already felt like it would blow away in a stiff breeze. Though the new one"s 40mm wider, Suzuki says its new platform is the key to cutting out chub. Not bad going, since the engine has sprouted a turbocharger.Yes, pray silence for the passing of the last naturally aspirated hot hatch. And when you eye the specs and see the new Swift Sport"s Boosterjet" 1.4-litre turbo engine develops 136bhp just 2bhp more than before you might feel a tad cheated. Fear not. You don"t need more power when the cabin has more red highlights than a Paramore concert. That"s got to be worth fifty brake horsepower.
