It is great to see cars other than performance cars being modified because usually these cars would go unnoticed, driven by many owners over thousands of miles and yet nobody would have taken any notice all. But then comes along someone with vision and a little bit of craziness thrown in for good measure and this combination has created this fantastic looking Suzuki Swift.
Naturally, these cars have not been designed with modifiers in mind, every inch of the car would need to be changed or updated in some way, but the result is something astonishing. It is clear that the builder has filled this car with goodies, but the key here is speed rather than looks, the builder even states that the fifth gear has been extended to give more drive and claims a top speed of 170 mph!
I thought for minute that there was a nitros oxide system fitted, but it turns out to be fire extinguisher! In addition, judging by the images the car appears to have ended up in the grass banking of a main road. However, it would not appear to be terminal as the builder has even more plans to further develop this car into something more powerful and therefore faster.
It is an amazing build, but done on a smaller scale in cramped conditions, but it works, it may not be everyone’s cup of tea. But what this car has is style and design, it has been taken from a below average car that would be unnoticed on the road, to a car that stands out in the crowd and draws people in to see the work that has gone into this work of auto art!
